Corinne

Born: March 7

Evocative and provocative, “Tickled Pink,” the latest 2024 single release from Corinne, out now and available everywhere, infuses a modern spin on bossa jazz. She flirts with a pop sensibility, as well as her lyrical romantic subject, yet maintains the integrity of the traditional style. 

The song is both an instant throwback to another time and a modern classic. With just one listen, your toes feel equally buried in the sandy beaches of Rio ’24 or ’64. Corinne is an old soul who offers both sanctuary to tradition and a pioneering modern style. If Corinne has her way, “Tickled Pink” will be the new black this summer.
