Corinne Bailey Rae has announced details of her second album, entitled 'The Sea'.

The album, out on February 1, was recorded alongside producers Steve Brown and Steve Chrisanthou in Manchester and Leeds.

It will mark the singer's first release since the sudden death of her husband Jason Rae in March 2008.

Rae, a saxophonist, died from a suspected overdose at his flat in Leeds.

Bailey Rae's self-titled debut album was released in 2006 and went on to sell more than three million copies around the world.

Meanwhile, the singer will play an exclusive headline show at The Tabernacle in London on November 23.

The gig will be in aid of the charity Pump Aid, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary.
