I can't stop listening to .... two ladies who have endured some terrible stuff

There's been a surprising amount of decent music recently. Here are some tracks from two artists who have endured through awful shit. The first, Charlotte Gainsbourg, is a French artist who had a cerebral hemorrhage a few years back and nearly died. Her album stops short of being a concept album (though based entirely on her own experiences) but many of the songs deal with her ordeal. The second artist, Corinne Bailey Rae, is a British singer whose husband died two years ago of a drug OD. Again, many of the songs on the album deal with her tragedy. Unlike the Gainsbourg album, which although good probably isn't worth a buy, her album, The Sea, is definitely worth a buy. Enjoy. (Note: Apparently the Corinne stuff has been finicky so if it's not working, you can stream the album here.)
