Corinne Bailey Rae

Leeds native Corinne Bailey Rae is a two-time Grammy Award-winning musician, best known for her eponymous album Corinne Bailey Rae and her 2006 single Put Your Records On. Black Rainbows is her fourth album, the result of several years’ conversation between Bailey Rae and the objects and happenings in the Stoney Island Arts Bank, Chicago, transformed by artist Theaster Gates into a cathedral of Black Art. The resulting 10-track album is a testament to Stoney Island Arts Bank, to the long arm of history, the power of the collection in pushing artists to become their most expressive selves, and the depth of Bailey Rae’s gifts as a songwriter and vocalist.
