Securing a firm toehold on the music charts is a challenge for many promising R&B/hip-hop artists. But it can be even more daunting when an artist is a British import.
Think about it. For every Soul II Soul and Floetry there is a Craig David or Ms. Dynamite.
One U.K. import preparing to tread U.S. waters is singer/songwriter Corinne Bailey Rae. Her self-titled album recently debuted at No. 1 in the United Kingdom. Prior to her stateside debut June 6 on Capitol Records, she is generating buzz thanks to gigs in New York, Los Angeles and Austin`s South by Southwest Music and Media Conference. Her track ‘Like a Star’ was featured on ‘Grey`s Anatomy’ and VH1 Soul`s ‘Sub Soul’ has added the video.
