Some people want Christian, Fendi and Prada. We just want RAYE.
British singer-songwriter RAYE has solidified herself as one of the brightest stars in music today, selling millions of records, boasting eight Top 20 UK singles, five billion Spotify streams, and an impressive catalog of hits penned for such top artists as Beyoncé and Charli XCX. The independently-released debut album, My 21st Century Blues, drew universal acclaim and featured the worldwide smash “Escapism.”, earning RAYE her first UK No. 1 and entry on the Billboard Hot 100 (No. 22). The 070 Shake-assisted track also topped the charts in Ireland and Denmark, entered the Top 10 in over 20 countries, and has since been certified 2x Platinum in the US as well as Gold, Platinum, or higher in over 12 regions.
March 2024 saw RAYE make history at Britain’s biggest night in music, where she won a staggering six BRIT Awards – the most for any artist in a single year and the first female to ever be crowned Songwriter of the Year.
After a massive two years headlining shows around the world – including supporting the likes of SZA, Kali Uchis, and Lewis Capaldi on tour – RAYE dazzled audiences at major festivals such as Glastonbury, Coachella, Lollapalooza, and the Montreux Jazz Festival.
RAYE’s latest Top 40 hit, “Genesis.”, is a three act opus and a masterclass in disrupting music as we know it. Produced alongside multiple GRAMMY Award winner Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins (Beyoncé, Michael Jackson, SZA), RAYE elevates her emotionally raw and vulnerable lyrics with triumphant strings and horns, dulcet harmonies and emboldened snare, into a pitch perfect performance that is a divine battle cry. “Genesis.” is a confrontational acknowledgement of a chapter not yet closed but with a set intention for a new beginning, drawing inspirations from big band, jazz, hip-hop, R&B, gospel and contemporary pop. Out of darkness comes light and with this new chapter, a musical renaissance is on the horizon.
