She’s one of the few artist that can take such long breaks in between each CD and still remain relevant.

She is so beautiful, inside & out. She suffered a great loss in 2008 and for a minute I felt that Corinne would not recover, but recover she did and we get to hear more new songs sing by that sweet voice of hers.My daughter told me about her when she had the song, 'Girls put your records on.' She was fresh, naive, and innocent as a child. Today she is all grown-up and singing real heart breaker songs...You go girl....

[@johnsommers3902]

The sea was he best album dont right after the death of her husband

[@homodeus8713]

She put it all in her music and gave it to us

[@lantlewis8515]

napeakor she married again after the passing of her first husband? That's great!

[@RayasNegroOvejas]

Smiled when I heard the intro. The Sea is my favorite album of hers!

[@fumiyohirano8323]

Her song is mellow and she is lovely!

[@TachirosLament]

Yea but, "Like a star" "Enchantment" "Put your records on" "Breathless" "I'd like to" "'Till it happens to you" and plenty more are all on on her first album. She would have to go in a new direction all together with team of people like mndsgn, bonobo, sampha, taylor mcferrin etc. to compete with that album.

[@Bvmbi]

FOR REALLL

[@lukethestarkillmickey8235]

TachirosLament both of her albums are good but Corinne was truly herself with The Sea. In fact both her second and third album she was truly herself in. Not to mention The Sea is so much better written and a lot more relatable. “I can do it all again” , “Diving For Hearts”, “Closer”, “Are you here”, “I would like to call it beauty” songs proves not only how amazing of a writer Corinne is but also when she’s truly in her element, she can express herself to in any genre. Hell, Corinne was a lead singer in a rock band back in her school days. As much as her self titled album is great and what got me into her, her second and third album is where Corinne truly shines her creativity. Which to me, proves how underrated of a writer and performer she is. Yes, she’s my favorite artist of all time

The Tiny Desk shows, with ****real musicians**** and talented singers, is EXACTLY what the Top 40 should be filled with.

[@comfycanadian8708]

You must have no idea how Top 40 works and what the industry is built upon. It's not about harnessing talent and promoting artistic integrity. It's about selling products. Challenge the "Top 40" by listening to what you like, Eric H.

[@pirateunicorn42]

Eric Hanaway didnt she make "put your records on"?? that was a REALLY popular song..

[@speedspeed121]

Phebe Palmer probably. I can barely listen tovradio

[@byculla6]

Comfy Canadian: So sad. So true. George Micheal and others refused to be their bitch and stopped singing for years.

[@Agret]

@@comfycanadian8708 no need to "challenge the top 40" it's totally okay to listen to top 40 songs, you get plenty of time for other music as the top 40 usually stick around for a month or more

She's one of the most amazing artistes to see in person. Her energy, enthusiasm, and storytelling is top tier. Sat through an almost two hour concert and every second was an experience. Been a fan ainxe her debut album Circa 2006 and it's great to see her still in her element and touring. 🔥🔥
