Corinne Bailey Rae has shared a video for her new single, New York Transit Queen.

The song was unveiled in June as the first single off the Grammy Award-winning artist's upcoming album, 'Black Rainbows', due out on September 15 via Thirty Tigers.

Melding punk with her own soul-pop styling, the track ushers in a new era of music for the singer-songwriter, introducing a new riot grrrl-influenced sound. It's inspired by an archive photo of Miss New York Transit pageant winner Audrey Smaltz. Bailey Rae explained:

"Audrey Smaltz’s song became a riot grrrl punk song because she has this playful, hellraiser look in her eye. The sexy or domestic 1950's photographs would be reimagined as powerful/tough/sexy/outside-of-the-male-gaze flyers for all girl band nights."

The 44-year-old will embark on a US tour in early September, followed by three shows at London's Ladbroke Hall in October, plus dates in Spain.
