Bailey Rae say's she has a lot of gratitude
towards John Legend. The singer is currently
on tour wowing a whole new audience with Legend,
a long time supporter. Bailey is loving every
second of it; "We are getting a really
good response, standing ovations and everything.
It's a good match; I think his audience really
appreciates what we do. They're quite open-minded."
Life is good but Bailey told Billboard Magazine
that she's looking forward to some rest, "Over
that time I guess I'll start writing and starting
to get my head in that mode again, says Rae,
"Going from performing all the time and
doing lots of promotion to actually being more
creative again. I'm really looking forward to
writing more. I can't wait for that -- for the
next phase of things." The singer has been
quoted numerous times about wanting to get a
go on her sophomore album. Rae is working the

Bailey Rae Loves the Simple Life
 April

Wonder is a huge fan but Corinne
Bailey Rae claims she's just a simple
girl with modest needs in life. The British
Singer still lives in her quiet hometown
of Leeds, England, "I paid $256,000
for a flat in Leeds and I got flak for it.
People think I should buy a castle or something.
I can't afford a castle. Says the singer,

Where I live is full of artsy types - women
in their 50s who live with cats and draw
feminist cartoons in their spare time."
