On May 13, Corinne Bailey Rae is set to release her new album, The Heart Speaks in Whispers. The project serves as the first for the Grammy award-winning artist in six years, and she appropriately kicked off her return last month with "Been to the Moon," a soaring number that highlights her lush vocals and undeniable charm.

Today, she double downs on her enchanting musical approach with "Green Aphrodisiac." The song is co-written by Corinne and twin sisters Amber and Paris Strother of KING and features a soulful sound the perfectly matches her inviting lyricism. "Lost in your wonderland/Green aphrodisiac/Kiss me your lips taste of honey/Songbirds and bees start a humming," Corinne sings, with a warm backdrop wrapping around the listener. Don't be surprised if you put this on repeat throughout the day to experience full audio euphoria.

"This song is inspired by intoxicating spring days laying in the grass in the afternoon, blossom and sunlight. The same thing that grows in the garden flows in me in you," Corinne told us over email. "Hope you get lost in it!"
