In the follow up to her self titled album, the British singer stays true to her adult contemporary pop fan base. On tracks like "I'd Do It All Again", she exhibits her amazing vocal prowess, but we also hear a lot of her soft and intimate delivery throughout the album. The 31 Year old was widowed when her husband was found dead of an accidental drug overdose in 2008. I feel like this incident is a major contributor to her lyrical content. She sings about love in such a way that you can sense her heartbreak, yet she is still so in awe of love as a concept that she could never give it up. I think "The Sea" is about moving on and finding love again, but also about love being unique in the sense that it can be new everytime it's experienced. Rae seems to have a certain wonder about her and the way she views the world, and she has a gift for translating that wonder into art.
