Today, Grammy® Award-winning singer, songwriter and musician, Corinne Bailey Rae, announced her highly anticipated 20th anniversary tour: "Like a Star: Celebrating 20 Years of Corinne Bailey Rae" making 23 stops in the U.S. (New York, Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, and more), UK, Hungary and the Netherlands.

During this special run of shows, Bailey Rae will perform the 4x-platinum album Corinne Bailey Rae in its entirety, marking this as the definitive celebration of the project that spawned classics "Put Your Records On" and "Like A Star." Alongside its commercial triumphs - debuting at #1 in the U.K. and peaking at #4 in the US - the album is heralded as a catalyst for the modern Alternative R&B movement. Standing as a pivotal successor to the trailblazing work of Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill, Bailey Rae's debut introduced an acoustic vulnerability that expanded the genre's boundaries and established the "Indie-Soul" blueprint.

"Put Your Records On" has garnered over 1 billion streams and in her career to date, Bailey Rae has released four critically acclaimed studio albums - selling over 10 million albums worldwide and earning two GRAMMY Awards (6x nominee), two MOBOS, two Mercury Music Prizes, and a BET Award for Best International Act.

"Celebrating twenty years since my first album feels like a beautiful full circle moment," says Bailey Rae. "That record changed my life and connected me with people all over the world. To be able to perform those songs again and relive those memories is a dream come true."
