Twenty years of a modern soul classic
When Corinne Bailey Rae released her self-titled debut in 2006, it turned the Leeds songwriter into an international name almost overnight. The album topped the UK chart, peaked in the U.S. top five and sold in the millions, powered by the sun-warmed singles "Put Your Records On" and "Like a Star." Both songs drew Grammy attention, with "Put Your Records On" nominated for Record of the Year and Song of the Year, and Bailey Rae has since won Grammys of her own, including one for her soulful cover of Bob Marley's "Is This Love."
The "Like a Star" anniversary run gives that record a full-length live celebration. On this tour Bailey Rae performs the 2006 album from start to finish, a run of roughly two dozen shows that began overseas in the spring and threads through the U.S., UK, Hungary and the Netherlands. The Vancouver date is one of only a few Canadian stops, following her Toronto show earlier in the run.
It also lands in a room built for this kind of night. The Vogue Theatre, a restored Art Deco landmark on Granville Street, is one of the city's favorite mid-size theatres for a seated, listen-close concert. The evening centers on the debut, though Bailey Rae's catalogue now spans two decades, from 2010's The Sea to her acclaimed 2023 album Black Rainbows. Mapping out the rest of your summer?
