Corinne Bailey Rae has unveiled the video for her single, “The Skies Will Break”, the lead track from her new album, May’s The Heart Speaks In Whispers. If you would like to see her live, please check the tour dates at the bottom of this article.
“The Skies Will Break” begins piano indicating hope, with a tad of melancholy. The pounding bass drum and strings herald extra energy, completely uplifting it. There is a pleasant vocal refrain, the closing minute or so getting quite intense, hammer and tongs.
The video, directed by Chloe Hayward, takes place at the Brecon Beacons, Wales. Corinne looks like some ancient Egyptian Native American renegade. There is certainly a variety of landscape, deploying contrast to highlight colours to striking effect.
