After the horrible tragedy her family sustained in 2008, it's good to see Corrine Bailey Rae is still making music, and hopefully is in better spirits now. The grammy award winning UK songstress will be releasing her next album, The Sea, on January 26th via EMI's Capitol Records. Here we have the video for the lead single "I'd Do It All Again." Video director, Jamie Thraves, had this to say of the clip: "Corinne and I met just as I was formulating the idea. She told me she was fan of my work, said she thought it was very real looking, cinematic and quite dark and that's what she wanted for her video, nothing too sunny she said. I looked at her other videos and realized just how sunny they were and why she wanted to do something different for this song but on the day we filmed it was such a lovely sunny day – I told Corinne the sun just seems to follow her around, but it's okay because in sad moments the sun can underline sadness just as easily as rain."

One listen and I fell in love with it. The video compliments the song so well, too. Jamie Thraves’ vision for this song was dead on.
Wow..amazing video. This is real talent… Not these american girls we have. Sucks to still hear what Corinne had to go through. But I Hope she keeps on getting lifted up to the new things of life.
WOW! That was REALLY dope!
I had to watch this three times. Real music survives.
wow. never has a song given me chills like this. keep doing your thing, corrinne. i love this.
Proudly on my 5th watch & listen NICE!
It’s a good thing I’m typing this cause I’m breathless. First Sade now Corrine… Christmas came early for me.

but this song and video is undeniable.
Oh! My goodness that song is sooo infectious! I listened to it like 3 times, wow! can’t wait for the album. The vid is on point…couldn’t think a better one.
I hit play on the video and “can’t touch this” comes on. I thought wow, she’s really bounced back! haha
Excellent! couldn’t think of a better video concept for the song.
An amazing talent. Very glad to see her return after such a heavy loss. Blessings ‘pon her.
