Raye
Raye's revenge is sweet. Several years ago, a great future was predicted for the talented performer. However, the British vocalist was messed with by a label that kept on delaying her debut album. In the meantime, she proved her talent with hits for Ellie Goulding, John Legend and Beyoncé. Altogether, her songs have been streamed more than 2 billion times. In 2022 she made it onto the list of nominees for the Ivor Novello Awards, a prestigious award for composers and songwriters. That was all fantastic, but Raye really wanted to sing herself. She eventually regained her artistic freedom and got it all out of her system on ‘My 21st Century Blues’ (2023). It’s a statement that she elevates to a higher level on the stage, just like greats such as Janelle Monáe or Amy Winehouse.
