In an age of online romances and speed dating, Corinne Bailey Rae's latest release - a collection of covers unified under a singular "love" theme - seems to be a bit of an anachronism. A grandiose artistic statement it is not, yet Rae's brazen interpretations do manage to turn out some surprisingly pleasant results. Her rehash of Prince's "I Wanna Be Your Lover" is particularly infectious, while the deep, sensual interpretation of "Low Red Moon" goes a long way towards recalling the stunning vistas of a wintry desert at midnight. Indeed, the only real weakness on this compilation is the live performance of "Que Sera Sera", whose 13 minute length makes listening to it a bit of a chore. Although Lennon was probably right when he said that love couldn't possibly have been left behind in the Roaring Sixties, Rae's latest EP does provide strong evidence that it may have taken on a different form since then.
