Escapism. (with 070 Shake)

Escapism is the song that made her a world star. The song is addictive in every sense of the word: a dark buzz wrapped in a pop hook that will stay in your head for days. It is catchy and at the same time uglyly honest about the urge to escape from reality. The ultimate RAYE song!

#2

WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!

With this track RAYE sounds bigger and more confident than ever. It is brutal, theatrical and made to destroy large halls. This feels like the start of a new era with more daring and 'main character energy'.

#3

Prada (with cassö & D Block Europe)

0

0

What started as a remix grew into a gigantic world hit. Prada is short, sweet and incredibly effective. RAYE's contribution is the 'secret sauce': casual and immediately recognizable. This is how you make dance pop that doesn't sound like a dime a dozen.

#4

Suzanne (with Mark Ronson)

0
0
0

Together with hit machine Mark Ronson, RAYE shows that she can effortlessly compete in the premier league of pop music. Suzanne has that chic funk and soul that immediately makes you happy. Despite the grand production, she remains the shining center with her enormous charisma.

#5

Oscar Winning Tears

Imagine a smoky jazz club where the walls slowly close in on you while she sings in the middle of the rubble. Oscar Winning Tears exudes old-fashioned glamor and drama, but never feels fake. The title actually says everything about the theatrical but sincere pain in this song.

#6

Ice Cream Man

0
0
0

If there's one track on which RAYE completely bares her soul, it's Ice Cream Man. Painful, direct and unforgettable. She doesn't sing here to make it sound nice, she sings to process something. Especially live, this is the moment when everyone in the room gets goosebumps.

#7

Black Mascara

0
0
0

Black Mascara is not a cheerful tune to play in the background; it is a raw cry about issues that are often kept silent. The compelling club beat clashes beautifully with the heavy content. It proves that RAYE dares to go much further than the average pop star.

#8

Hard Out Here

0

0

Here you will hear exactly why Raye's debut album made such an impact. In Hard Out Here she calls things by name in a way that is both fierce and funny. You want to shout along, but at the same time it makes you silent.

#9

The Thrill Is Gone

0
0
0

No exaggerated drama, but that recognizable moment when you feel that the magic in a relationship is gone. The production remains tight and elegant, giving her voice all the space it deserves.

#10

Worth It

0
0
0

Worth It sounds seductive and sharp at the same time. It's as if she's smiling even though she's already figured out the game. Wonderfully danceable, but with a tension that constantly keeps you on the edge of your seat.
