"I didn't know what my heart would do"

Corinne Bailey Rae sings like an angel, like Billie Holiday and Edith Piaf, except she sounds a bit more innocent, though with the very sudden and unexpected death of her husband, Jazz musician Jason Rae, that resulted from a lethal combo of alcohol and drugs in 2008, she certainly knows pain and heartache. She is a lovely chanteuse and The Blackest Lily is our Friday traditio.

"You laid a trail that led straight to your door, oh/
And I could resist but it was hard to ignore, oh"
