Raye's artistry & storytelling abilities will never cease to amaze me. on my first listen it literally felt like I just heard a movie condensed into a 7 minute song. she's truly a gift to this world. we need more artists like her.
Shes so freaking talented!! We gotta support her as much as we can! Shes bringging up REAL issues that we as a society are struggling with...like fucking finally!! About time an artist using music and her talent, like you said, MJ used to, to remind us what matters most and LET THERE BE LIIIIIGHT🎵🎶💖💖💖💖
I am so happy you reacted to this and are locked in on RAYE, as obsessed with her as the rest of us! She is truly a once in a lifetime type of artist. It goes so much deeper than just the music. She is making pieces of art that will last long after she is gone. I cannot describe the excitement I feel when I know something new is coming from her! 😭🤯
I agree with you. Raye is one of the only artists right now who's telling things how they are. She doesn't even try to hide it behind pretty lyrics and half truths, she just tell us how it is. She's so brave for that, for using her platform as a way to discuss such important issues (mental illness, substance abuse, inequality). She just spills her heart in every song and is completely vulnerable everytime... To help others and raise awareness. She's a mix of real talent, authenticity, and someone who has a cause and is trying to make the world a better place. Yes, the Michael comparison is not even a exaggeration. Who's doing something like this besides her? Right now, no one. She doesn't care about what's trendy and popular. About the algorithm. Raye simply does whatever she wants. A fucking 7 minute song in a society where we all can't even watch something for more than 30 seconds? She's not following the standard, she's setting the bar.
My girl got her revenge and just pulled a middle finger to the whole society !!! You must know that RAYE is in the music industry for 8+ years, but her label emprisonned her and gave her false hopes. That's why she was forced to only do EDM / dance featuring ( i.g : HEY NA NA EHHH, DON'T ACT LIKE U KNOW ME NA NA EH ). Therefore, she was never able to express herself and release her OWN album with HER proper name. So she fell into deep a depression and even took drugs since music is her whole world and it's like they put her a tape on her mouth. Also, a lot of people compare her with Amy Winehouse ( they share this jazzy vibe and they both did and quit the famous BRIT school ). Last year, her career took a turn, she left the abusive label and released her own album called my 21st Century Blues and SHE ATEE ( go listen to it, it's dope af), winning her 6 BRITs award in the same night. Her most famous song from this album is ofc Escapism ( Tiktok viral btw ) and actually in the MV of Genesis, there is a reference to it : when she looks at herself in the crowd with the spilling mascara, it's the same outfit and makeup than in the Escapism MV, and she even says " Still just a heart-broke bitch. But I traded the back of the nightclub, I did, for the bathroom floor" in reference of the lyrics of Escapism " Just a heartbroke bitch high heels six inch in the back of the nightclub sippin' champagne ". That's one of my top artist for a long time, I discovered her with the song " Natalie Don't " which is incredible, she deserved to be recognized. If you want to react to more RAYE, I recommend you to listen to "Natalie Don't ", and the concert in the Albert Hall " Oscar Winning Tears " ( her vocals are top tier ) Thanks for your video
The fact she made this song in 7 minutes, did a whole MV while also completing it AS AN INDEPENDENT ARTIST! The messages she showing in her music is why I love her! She’s deserving of her flowers!❤️
