Raye

Raye’s latest album is undeniably a masterpiece and will very likely be in my Album of the Year lists. It should be on yours too. This R&B/Cinematic Orchestral/Soul/Pop genre just unbelievably works for her and my god she’s found her groove. Every song on the album builds on each other gets deeper and better and is just an insane album.

Click Clack is a great place to start.

Are you not blown away? and can i just say, “ft. Hans Zimmer” is just bananas for a song title. Has he EVER done a guest spot like this before? Good enough for Hans, good enough for me.

Where the Hell is My Husband is a good summary of what the album primarily covers, and while it’s not my favorite from the album, I totally get why it has the 111mn views (as of this time of writing)..

And so what is my favorite from the album you ask? I’m calling it her ‘Hamilton’ beef track. I can’t get enough of it.

And as Raye never got an original post from me on even her first album, My 21st Century Blues (which frankly, it should have… i’ll share the best song from that one, Escapism.
