British soul singer CORINNE BAILEY RAE refused to listen to music or spen= d any time alone for a year after her husband’s tragic death in 2008.
The Put Your Records On hitmaker was devastated when 31-year-old saxoph= onist Jason Rae was found dead in an apartment in Leeds, England, with tr= aces of cocaine and ecstasy in his blood.
The singer shied away from the spotlight and admits she was so overwhel= med by her grief behind closed doors that she couldn’t pick up her guitar= , write or listen to music without wanting to "destroy" everything in her= home.
She explains, "I didn’t hear anything. Nothing came in. It’s hard to ex= plain. (All I wanted to do) was destroy things. I felt so much had sort o= f been… destroyed. I guess I can’t lie about stuff, so there it is. You= can’t play it down. I felt extremely, extremely destructive, and I’ve ne= ver felt that before…
"I was really sad. I was really nervous. I didn’t want to go to any air= ports. I didn’t want to go anywhere on my own. I didn’t want to be in the= house on my own. I needed people around me, constant people. I couldn’t = make any plans - I couldn’t even imagine the next day. It’s an awful time= - you can’t do anything. It’s possibly an endless time. That’s all you c= an see: time." The 30 year old is currently preparing to release her second album, The= Sea, which was partially inspired by her partner’s death.
She adds, "Even at this particular point right now, I don’t feel like (= Rae’s death) actually happened. At other times I can feel it much more. I= feel totally destroyed. I feel totally cut off from my favourite person = in the world. But I just feel like this is the right time (to release the= album). I definitely don’t want to be seen as like, ‘Oh, wow, she’s sold= iering on!’ Because I don’t feel like I am. At this particular point, I’m= finding it to be the right thing to do."
