RAYE - 'Escapism.' (Live on SNL) 

Mark my words: she is absolutely perfect for the next 007 theme song

Raye doing a different rendition in every single performance is absolutelly insane

The breath control is insane! 🤯

How she makes this song sound like a new song every time is phenomenal

Best rendition of Escapism. That choir and the story telling are just chef's kiss.

The scatting literally gave me chills....

She made it sound like a 007 song, I love it

This is brilliant. Such Amy winehouse vibes but also her own.

seriously, she is a whole new genre by herself. Her live versions are insane and the band together? amazing work

this is the way Jazz comes back - never the same thing twice - each time its so unique and real

I don’t always watch the musical guest performances but Raye absolutely killed it.

the vocals, serving c4nt😩,the self censoring, the style, EVERYTHING

This is the first time I’ve seen Raye wearing shoes for an entire performance 😝😂

Omg she is so iconic, she sounds different every performance. I'm shook.

The amount of Bond energy that she is giving is just overwhelming ☺

i love how she’s still promoting this single like they used to do back then.

I'm always in awe of Rayes' voice and her presence every single time. Just stunning voice, stunning all around.

She is out of this world with every performance she does with this song and the thumbs up she gave to the band later that was so wholesome

this is what we can call talent

Someone who CAN ACTUALLY SIIIINNG. I love her. ❤️❤️

Flawless execution. Loved how her and the band/ background singers were so in sync

I actually love the censoring it's so considered and creative

Honestly , this year is a really good one for music

I'm a massive Raye fan. She's only one of a handful of artists who's performances are just mesmerising to watch. Each performance is different - intentionally so. Her mastery of music is insane. Her passion for having real instruments and not recorded backing tracks. Real singers encouraged to perform to the very best that they can and the end results are like watching a full opera of emotions. All the while staying grounded to get London roots, singing in her London accent. Her sheer joy of performing is infectious and electric.

This performance is not wasted, from the dark and dramatic beginning, to the incorporation of the orchestra for each stanza, and without a doubt, her voice: RAYE is a Queen ❤

The goosebumps are unreal

We're so lucky to have a artist like this she's honestly so so good

Thank goodness this is back on RU-vid. Was real sad when SNL removed it.

currently diagnosed with chills

Her ability to keep killing on any prestation is insane proud

Holy crap the breath control and jazzy vibes and energy is amazing. She truly deserves the success. A true talent and huge Amy Winehouse vibes while also making it her own. ❤️✨

Happy to be part of the journey of this song!

This rendition was so amazing. The choir, the vocals, the scatting...so in love with Raye's performance style

that was breathtaking. she had all of me the whole time

I need this on Spotify immediately! It's so good

shes an icon, shes a legend and she is THE MOMENT

WHAT. A . PERFORMANCE.

Every of her live performances are different to each others which makes her songs so interesting :D

Give her a Grammy for Best New Artist already

Watching this rendition used to be a daily ritual! Literally! 😭😭😭😭 I'm literally in tears. Thanks so much for re-uploading this masterpiece after SNL took it down.

She is amazing I can't even find the words to explain. You can totally tell in both SNL performances the band is really feeling it.

AHHHHH SO BLESSED TO SEE THIS. how your voice more magnetic and powerful in the live version... simply delicious.

She is so good live it hurts

she’s so multidimensional and versatile. ❤

3:20 girl, wtf are those vocals. I died

Holy Cow that was Amazing!! She brought every bit of it. I’m so excited for her! That applause at the end and I can only imagine they were standing and then that big smile on her face! Shine on Sister!! ✨💙

Raye, queen of live performances.

This is what I expect when I hear a live performance, something different each time. I fkn love you so much Raye

I don't trust any of these sisters too LMAOO

She really doesn't get enough credit. She's freaking awesome

Her voice is everything!!

What a bless to be in Raye's generation !!!!

So classy

WOW this is incredible!! Already loved this song but this brings it (and RAYE) to a whole new level.

raw authentic love this

the future of music is safe with her

i love how she’s getting recognized more and more 😩 been here before escapism was big 🤗

Not even a popstar, you are a superstar raye!!!

If she doesn't get a Grammy next year, I'll lose my shit.

GOOSE BUMPS!!!!!!!!!! Omg ! First REAL star in a decade!!! Thank you 😊

I don't think it's a mystery how Raye is always backed by extremely talented musicians and singers. Imagine getting that call, "It's Raye, will you make some music with me? I'll send you some tracks..."

incredible version great to hear her superb voice is back to full strength again.AWESOME

She saved my life for posting this on RU-vid again 😭😭😭

fiquei triste por que o vídeo tinha sumido, mas agora tô tão feliz de ver ele de novo! 😖💗

This is absolutely incredible. Often I find myself feeling sorry for the orchestra or band who has to go on stage with horrible singers. But this here makes me so happy because everybody can shine and together it creates something phenomenal that will be cherrished for decades to come.

So happy she uploaded this, as SNL took it down for some reason

YES! I was MAD when SNL took these down because they were already a part of my daily routine!

Wow she's a true definition of an artist! Her talent is impeccable! She makes real and unique music in a world where everything is starting to feel a bit too generic and repeatable. Hope to catch her live in Central Europe in near future. ♥️🙏🏻 Wishing her all the success because she truly deserves it!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻♥️♥️

I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!!

You don't know how long I've waited for these VOD's!

This is so AMAZING ❤

She is beautiful and talented

Pure TALENT ❤

She’s simply amazing! All I can do is shake my head. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

American TV word restrictions is insane. Love the performance, but the censoring of the lyrics is really annoying.

She’s everything

JUST SPECTACULAR! 🤯

The most beautiful and soulful artist of our generation: ladies and gentlemen, RAYE.

The blues switch AAAAHH

that must be hard her skipping all the bad words in the song how great😂

OMG SHE"S FINALLY ON SNL!!!

An actual superstar

Omg it is so crazy what she did with that song. I'm so impressed. Raye hitting right in the feels every time.

Love you Rayeee!! ❤❤ Greeting from Canary Islands 🇮🇨
