Corinne Bailey Rae, R&B Songbird

She's 25 and brimming with youthful soul, nominated for three Grammy Awards (and subsequently snubbed, IMO), and only the fourth British woman to ever debut with the number one record. Corinne Bailey Rae is R&B's next in line. I'm really hoping she sticks around instead of going the way of Lauryn Hill. (That'd be "insane" if you're keeping score at home). But seriously, she's like a female John Legend, except British. And they are touring together, how perfect.
