Corinne Bailey Rae hails Kyp Malone LP

Corinne Bailey Rae has praised the solo album from TV On The Radio's Kyp Malone.

The 'Love EP' star told DS that she is a big fan of the release from the guitarist/singer's side project Rain Machine.

Bailey Rae said: "I really like this record from the singer from TV On The Radio, Kyp Malone - he's got a solo project called Rain Machine.

"It's folksy but electronic as well. It's unusual songs. I like that it breaks rules and that he's got a really unconventional voice."

Asked about other current artists she has enjoyed, she continued: "Janelle Monae's really great. I went to see her in Manchester a few months ago.

"Kanye [West]'s record is brilliant - it's just fresh and different and risk-taking, and I love that Bon Iver sample and he's laid it up with all this vocoder.

"I like when people have a high profile and they take risks. I don't like hearing records that sound like they've been planned by a committee - it's not a good way to make art."
