Corinne Bailey Rae Live Concert Review

by Vanessa Tirok
published 2023-06-19

​​​​​​​On June 6, 2023 a wide variety of folks gathered at Princeton’s McCarter Theatre to enjoy a performance by UK artist Corinne Bailey Rae. Seriously, it was probably one of the most interesting of audiences I’ve ever seen as an avid concert goer, with attendees ranging from early-twenty-something college students to middle aged couples to grey-haired women. My theory is that if you discovered Corinne Bailey Rae during her debut back in 2006 (I’m talking “Like A Star” “Put Your Records On” era), you were either an adult, driving and hearing her on the car radio for the first time, or you were a kid in the backseat listening along. I was the latter. CBR’s music has been a huge part of my life from a young age, so it only felt right to see the legend herself perform in person.

LATEST COLUMNS


"She's Like the Wind"

The first thing you'll see upon entering the gallery at Deep Space (77 Cornelison St.) is the shadow-outline of a woman's leg. There it is, on a chartreuse background, sticking straight up in the air with a curvaceous bare foot inches from the ceiling. That's all of the subject of "Lemon Lime Toe of God" that the oil painter Delilah Ray Miske is willing to show us. The rest of the body, she implies, is splayed out on a bed. We know it's summer because the window is closed and the air conditioner is plugged in. There's a pretty good chance that the possessor of the leg is undressed. In one hand, she holds a cellphone, and she might be broadcasting something. On the wall, a small whip-like broomstick hangs. It could be the ride of a tiny witch. It could be the professional tool of a dominatrix.
