Since public television got some shine, why can’t LC’s first love get some as well? Last night, I was all set to turn in early after checking out The Book Of Eli until I found out NPR had a stream of Corinne’s The Sea on their site. Needless to say, I had to give it a spin before calling it a night.
Two hours later, it was still spinning. Understandably darker in tone and heavier on the soul vibes, it still possesses the melodies to draw you in as her eponymous debut did. Throw in her unique, captivating voice and it’s a wrap. Which means NPR will be my second favorite website until January 26th when I head over to Best Buy and scoop this up.
Give it a spin and give your thoughts as well.

Oh happy day!
i think i’mma preorder. Amazon ships pretty fast.
Yessir!
Rappers fall back til Thursday
i kinda wrote this chick off as a one hit wonder, but i really dig her new single. definitely some singing and songwriting talent here.
The first time I read this article, I swear I didn’t see the NPR link. Now its there. Oh well it was only a whole 30 secs delay searching out on NPR.org. CBR is one of my fav’s. I loved the first album and on the initial two listens of this, it compares. I wouldn’t say it’s darker though.
i refuse to listen to this…a purchase will immediately be made next Tuesday…no hesitation or questions asked
