There are very few music lovers in this world who have not heard of Mr. Robert Nesta Marley, known by the world as reggae legend, Bob Marley. This man changed music as we know it and believed the world could be cured of hate through music, so to cover his songs is no small feat. Yet, that's exactly what Corrine Bailey Rae has done. Her new EP, The Love EP, covers Prince, Doris Day and Paul McCartney and The Wings. One of the notable covers is of Bob Marley's "Is This Love."
This version is different than Marley's, but Rae gets the message across the same way. She takes the song and will preserving it's beauty, makes it her own. I can't say I've heard a better cover of Bob Marley. This NMM is a definite have-to-listen.
