Very good Cd, very emotional! very smooth music, very powerful. I have a preference for the firts and the last track. I listen to them again and again.

After the loss of her husband I wasn't sure that we would ever hear from her again. She has such a soothing voice and the music is just relaxing and enjoyable to listen to.
I lover her and I wish her all the best with the new CD. Beautiful music from a beautiful woman.

The conflicts of those emotions provide the listener with a cryptic yet understandable balance of Rae's feeling about the death of her husband and the thereafter. It's a difficult thing to explain, even categorized, it just is. It also makes for wonderful fuel to launch this album into orbit.

All Music Guide - David Jeffries
After selling four million copies of her debut album, an effort filled with her precious brand of neo-soul and the uplifting hit "Put Your Records On," singer/songwriter Corinne Bailey Rae lost her husband Jason Rae suddenly and took two years off to grieve and recover before returning with her second effort, The Sea. On the album's opener "'Are You Here,'" lyrics like 'Wait till you see those eyes' and 'He'll kiss you make you feel sixteen' suggest she's just fallen in love, but the fascinating idea behind The Sea is that it never explains itself, even if there's a new richness in Rae's soft and oh-so-tender voice that suggests something has changed deep inside.
