Singer Corinne Bailey Rae is using music to help her move though the grief of losing her husband Jason – spending much of this year gradually returning to work, writing and quietly playing low-key gigs.
Her 2006 song Put Your Records On was a massive hit, and now the young widow says she feels "impassioned" about her new songs and wants to pass that feeling on to her audience. "I don't think there is anyone of my generation saying these things, singing about these things," she tells the U.K.'s Observer Music Monthly.
She adds: "And it happens, you know. It can happen to anyone at any time. I want to be out there on stage with my hands out going, does anyone else feel the same way?"
