Corinne Bailey Rae’s luxuriant third album marks another rebirth, after The Sea (2010) soundtracked a period of mourning for the Leeds native’s first husband. Rich with on-point retro-futurist sounds, such as the gem-like, sultry neo-soul of Green Aphrodisiac, written with fellow travellers King, this Rae opus also boasts hyper-digital delights in the superlative single Been to the Moon and Tell Me. But there’s some unwelcome pandering to all markets in ghastly guitar ballad Stop Where You Are, a misstep looking for a Coldplay album, and a couple of tracks where smoothness wins out over personality.
