Corrinne May

Any Corrinne May fans out there? I wonder how many even heard of her, let alone know of her existence. She has been getting rave reviews about her current radio hit On the Side of Me which certainly is worthy of (a lot of) applause. But truth is, she’s good even before she hit the local airwaves.

I started to give her a double look when I first heard her second album, Safe in a Crazy World. Actually it was the song Angel in Disguise. It was really an inspiration to me, for what reason I forgot at that point of time. So I took the trouble to listen to her other compositions and I’m just glad that I wasn’t disappointed!

I’m not exactly her biggest fan but I did thought of going to her concerts everytime she came down to Singapore. The latest one just ended… and that too I didn’t catch. And somehow her songs crept into my music folder, illegally.

So much for being a local music supporter! I guess I’ll drop by Gramophone to get her latest album… I hope.

Some say her voice is mild or flat but I think it’s rather unique. Those soft and mellow sounds that you wanna hear in your long bus rides home as you look out of the window and recall your memories. Aaahhhh… what a laid-back person I am.

Corrinne’s a big name overseas and I admire her courage to go out there, and tap into new markets less ventured. This girl has gotta be given the chance to sing our main National Day song! She’s local after all… and I bet it would be the best National Day song ever sung!

Take a look at the ordinary
Don’t need to look for paradise
You could be next to an angel in disguise
