Another Singapore singer who makes it big overseas
before she is known in Singapore...
Corrinne May, born and raised in Singapore, educated at Berklee College of Music and released her debut album Fly Away in Las Vegas, where she is based now. She just released her 2nd album, Safe in a Crazy World. She is coming to Singapore during the National Day weekend, for her 1 N concert. Funny thing is that i first heard about her from my colleague Young who came back from US from hols, and then i chanced upon her poster at the esplanade where i learnt she is putting up a concert. Then the restaurant where I had dinner with Qinwei played her music and concidentally Qinwei tells me that she is going for her concert, so out of curiousity, who is Corrinne May???
No publicity at all in Singapore and she is already making so many waves and pple going to her concert, apparently her tix are SOLD out when i checked on the esplanade website. Darn! She is that good! I really liked her music when i first heard it at the restaurant....With beat, spunk and easy listening tunes, its a mix of ballad and rock. Could feel that she sings with her soul,and she writes all her songs with very cool and touching lyrics. On a cute note, she was inspired by the Powerpuff Girls for her self composed song Little Superhero Girl she says, "It's about the child in me, looking for an escape from the harder realities of the world…" I like it :)
Give her music a try, you never know what you are missing.
Hear it here.

When will you be home?" she asks
as we watch the planes take off
We both know we have no clear answer
to where my dreams may lead
She's watched me as I crawled and stumbled
As a child, she was my world
And now to let me go, I know she bleeds
and yet she says to me
You can fly so high
Keep your gaze upon the sky
I'll be praying every step along the way
Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart
I love you too much to make you stay
Baby fly away
Autumn leaves fell into spring time and
Silver-painted hair
Daddy called one evening saying
"We need you. Please come back"
When I saw her laying in her bed
Fragile as a child
Pale just like an angel taking flight
I held her as I cried
You can fly so high
Keep your gaze upon the sky
I'll be praying every step along the way
Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart
I love you too much to make you stay
Baby fly away
