<p><br /> Corinne Bailey Rae has revealed her secret to staying in shape - good genes!<br /> </p><p><br /> The singer says her slim physique is thanks to her father:<br /> </p><p><br /> "My dad is really skinny. I've got his genes. I can pick him up! Only a little bit off the ground but it's significant!"<br /> </p><p><br /> Corinne is about to embark on an eleven week tour to promote her second album The Sea and the 31-year-old Grammy winner says she enjoys life on the road:<br /> </p><p><br /> "I never get home sick. I'm with all my closest friends so it's like you are a family. It's so much part of the work. I think if you didn't like the travelling, you wouldn't do it."<br /> </p><p><br /> But it seems Corinne does struggles with being boss when she and her band are travelling:<br /> </p><p><br /> "It is a difficult thing. Most of the people I'm working with are my close friends so I'm still working on it. I don't like to tell people what to do but at the same time I have an idea of what I want so I just try and find a nice way of running things," the singer said.<br /> </p>
