出生英国里兹的Corinne，自小在一般教堂礼拜中演唱诗歌展现天生好歌喉，学生时期攻读古典音乐，并拉得一手绝佳小提琴才能，随后在获得人生第一把电吉他，开啟肯妮音乐另一扇门，同时开始试著词曲创作。签入EMI音乐集团前，Corinne早已累积十年演唱经历，简洁纯净恬淡创作风格，揉合各种不同音乐对她的影响，完成此张倍受讚誉的首张同名专辑。当中更不乏放克灵魂作品〈Call Me When You Get This〉，并佐以典雅弦乐点缀；〈Choux Pastry Heart〉带著微甜鬆软音感谱写出对於情爱世界期望，让人徜徉在一个不见压力的男女亲密关係之中；而〈Butterfly〉以及打造爵士灵魂外衣的〈Seasons Change〉，都是Corinne展现令人震撼且最具实力之明证。
Put Your Records On

歌词:
Three little birds, sat on my window.
And they told me I don’t need to worry.
Summer came like cinnamon
So sweet,
Little girls double-dutch on the concrete.
Maybe sometimes, we’ve got it wrong, but it’s alright
The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same
Oh, don’t you hesitate.
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.
You’re gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.
Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely,
Sipping tea in the bar by the roadside,
(just relax, just relax)
Don’t you let those other boys fool you,
Got to love that afro hair do.
Maybe sometimes, we feel afraid, but it’s alright
The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change.
Don’t you think it’s strange?
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.
You’re gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.
’Twas more than I could take, pity for pity’s sake
Some nights kept me awake, I thought that I was stronger
When you gonna realise, that you don’t even have to try any longer?
Do what you want to.
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.
Oh, you’re gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow
