Following on the heels of her recent digital single “Is This Love,” GRAMMY winning artist Corinne Bailey Rae will release The Love EP on January 25th, 2011, on Capitol Records. The Love EP is a five-song collection of covers that Bailey Rae calls an “homage to some of my favorite musicians, as well as a conversation between some of my musical influences.”
The Love EP opens with a cover of Prince’s “I Wanna Be Your Lover” – one of Bailey Rae’s favorite songs by the legendary artist. “I met Prince in London at his show at the O2 Arena,” she says. “I was amazed by the gig but even more impressed by the aftershow he did in a small venue where he tore it up on the guitar. I love singing rhythmical music but never seem to write anything like that so getting to do this song was a dream.”
