Corinne Bailey Rae is all about The Love. The singer is set to release a new EP on January 25, covering several of her favorite love-themed tracks. Among them are Bob Marley’s “Is This Love,” Paul McCartney’s “My Love” and Prince’s “I Wanna Be Your Lover.” Bailey Rae told The Idolator why she chose the Marley song: "I just thought about that song 'Is This Love' and how poignant it sounds and how it feels when it's stretched out at that tempo. When it's the start of a relationship and it's this questioning - 'Is this love? Is this it? Is this what it feels like?' - it's just so tentative.  And I love the descriptions in the song, and I think it's amazing, the idea of two people against the world in poverty and the idea that love is everything that you need." As for picking that super-funky Prince track? "It's just really fun! I thought, I never get to do really fun, synthy, aggressive bright things."
