Corinne Bailey Rae boldly jettisons both pop structures and R&B smoothness to consider the scars and triumphs of Black culture.
The songs on Black Rainbows flaunt extremes: noise and delicacy, longing and rage.
Most of its songs are inspired by artifacts Bailey Rae saw at the Stony Island Arts Bank in Chicago, a former bank building that now holds a huge repository of African and African-diaspora materials gathered by the artist Theaster Gates.
