The second album, 'The Sea' released to worldwide critical acclaim, reaching Top 5 in the UK and Top 10 in the USA.

Bailey Rae also has written music for films and television shows, including “Venus” (starring Peter O’Toole), “Man with the Iron Fist” and, most recently, the theme song to Stan Lee’s "Lucky Man”.
Originally the front-woman of an indie band, Corinne Bailey Rae's music spans indie, electronic, soul and experimental. Bailey Rae recently performed in Los Angeles for The Grammys’ MusiCares Foundation with Pharrell, The Roots and Leon Bridges in February 2016.
