Corinne Bailey Rae is the debut studio album by English singer-songwriter Corinne Bailey Rae, released on 24 February 2006 by EMI. The album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and has been certified triple platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). Four singles were released from the album: "Like a Star", "Put Your Records On", "Trouble Sleeping" and "I'd Like To". Corinne Bailey Rae has sold over four million copies worldwide.
Release and promotion
"Like a Star" was released as the album's lead single in a limited-edition format in 2005, peaking at number 34 on the UK Singles Chart. When re-released in October 2006, "Like a Star" reached a new peak position of number 32 on the UK chart. The second single, "Put Your Records On", peaked at number two in February 2006. "Trouble Sleeping" was released as the album's third single in May 2006, peaking at number 40 in the UK.
"I'd Like To" was released on 12 February 2007 as the fourth and final single. On the same day, the album was re-released with a bonus disc containing some of the B-sides and remixes included on previous singles, as well as three new tracks—one of which, a cover of Björk's 1993 song "Venus as a Boy", only previously appeared on a covermount for Q magazine. Several songs from the album appear in the 2006 comedy-drama film Venus starring Peter O'Toole. In the United States, "Breathless" was released as a promotional single in 2007.

Corinne Bailey Rae received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 69, based on 13 reviews.{{cite web |url=http://www.metacritic.com/music/corinne-bailey-rae/corinne-bailey-rae |title=Reviews for Corinne Bailey Rae by Corinne Bailey Rae |publisher=Metacritic |access-date=18 April 2015}} While some critics perceived filler as a weakness of the album, Bailey Rae earned positive comparisons to female recording artists such as Billie Holiday, Norah Jones, Erykah Badu, Minnie Riperton, and Macy Gray.{{cite web |last=Pattenden |first=Mike |url=http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/music/article733206.ece |title=Review: Corinne Bailey Rae |work=The Times |access-date=29 December 2009}}{{dead link|date=September 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}{{cite web |last=Pareles |first=Jon |author-link=Jon Pareles |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/25/arts/music/25play.html?pagewanted=all |title=A Pop Folkie, Soul Chanteuses, Postpunkers and Party Animals |work=The New York Times |date=25 June 2006 |access-date=18 April 2015}} David Jeffries of AllMusic called it "pleasingly homegrown, warm, and poignant in parts". Los Angeles Times writer Natalie Nichols compared Bailey Rae's music to that of Sade and Stevie Wonder. Michael Endelman of Entertainment Weekly called it "extremely agreeable, a bit predictable, and occasionally irresistible". MusicOMH writer Michael Hubbard called the debut "exceptional in every way" and "a breath of fresh air"{{cite web|url=http://www.musicomh.com/reviews/albums/corinne-bailey-rae-corinne-bailey-rae|title=Corinne Bailey Rae – Corinne Bailey Rae|last=Hubbard|first=Michael|website=MusicOMH|date=27 February 2006|access-date=26 February 2021}} Preston Jones of Slant Magazine was more lukewarm, saying "Rae’s amiable competence marks her as a talent worth keeping tabs on, but the strength of Corinne Bailey Rae is fleeting, a triumph of mood over tangible substance."{{cite web |last=Jones |first=Preston |url=https://www.slantmagazine.com/music/review/corinne-bailey-rae-corinne-bailey-rae |title=Corinne Bailey Rae: Corinne Bailey Rae |work=Slant Magazine |date=30 June 2006 |access-date=8 January 2014}}
In contrast, Neil Spencer of The Observer gave the album a scathing review, saying "Beyond her calling card single, 'Like a Star', however, she shows a lack of ambition. The arrangements are generic (Al Green's leftovers, mostly), the cooing backing singers bland, and the lyrics pedestrian."{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2006/feb/19/shopping5|title=Corinne Bailey Rae, Corinne Bailey Rae|last=Spencer|first=Neil|website=The Observer|date=18 February 2006|access-date=26 February 2021}}
