Ive seen clips of her performing some of these album songs live recently even better live with the band she doesnt just rely on auto tune her voice is amazing ruclips.net/video/BwFzqoVV3Xg/видео.html
Raye is a phenomenal songwriter. She really bared her soul with this album. Also, co-wrote Bigger by Beyonce. She's released this album independently. Such a great body of work from her! Great reaction/review Dubz!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I reacted to her album on my channel just last night. Discovering this album felt very therapeutic to me. If you want to check out my reaction- I would so greatly appreciate it. Regardless Raye’s confidence and ambition is shining more than ever on this body of work. Her own game too! 🙌🏻 She is next level. People need to all wake up. One of the best albums of 2023.
I lovvvve the sort "unserious" ending towards the final songs. It feels like shes been through SO much with all of the earlier stuff on the album, and she (and us listening) have earned just some honest joyful silliness. And happiness tbh. Its relief
only correct answers BD did something to my brain i can’t fully comprehend and the production in FSH😫. she’s a siren for sure and her pen game is untouched!!!
the album has a part a and a part b, like two different sides, and its also meant to be tough like its meant to make you feel especially the first half
This album is inspired by blues music thus the title of the album my 21st century Blues it's supposed to be a double entendre talking about the things that bring her down in the modern day but also she's bringing old school Blues sounds and updating them and mixing them with other genres
are you stupid its not a "double entendre" "Blues" derives from the feeling the music gives, which is feeling blue, it was societal reaction based on events at the time. Its not a metaphor its a very literal title and lacks any conceptual value.
@noah clouda you do realize that Blues is a genre in a self write like Bobby Bland b.b. King Etc... how is it a stupid take when clearly I have more likes then you're stupid comment I'm entitled to my opinion do your own research about what she says about this album
Wait why is the lil karaoke bit so cute its like such a genuine way to truly include people watching, even if I dont sing along it made me happy to feel included in the fun you were having haha 🥺 Keep it up :)
She's phenomenal ! The fact that it's her first album is crazy everybody should be SCARED bc she's here to stay & slay ! I loved the karaoke that was so cool, another great reaction
So early and we love it Been a fan of raye since 2018 I remember the first song I heard ft. Raye was “you don’t know me” and I was hooked. Saw past the auto tune and the generic bs and I knew there was an inspired star 🥲
That why Mary Jane sounded like that its intentional, it sounded like you’re high. Fyi Also try listening it with headphones, its heavenly, this whole album was produced all intentionally on point and very detailed. Its a masterpiece
Have u also heard her other leaks like fantastic,born again,California dreamin theres a lot of great songs that was from her scrapped 2021 album polydor didnt let her release fuck polydor. I think some of the 2nd half songs on the album wasnt as good she should have used some of those songs from her vault instead for the 2nd half
This album is so strong lyrically, vocally and production. It’s so good and I’m so happy for her. There are a lot of callbacks to previous songs. On environmental anxiety it has “done to me” but sped up throughout the song which we here on black mascara
I have this album on repeat these past few days! I love all of them but if I’d had to choose my top ones are: Hard out here. Worth it. Mary Jane. Flip the Switch.
raye is incredible absolutely love her, thankyou for reacting to this album! Have you reacted to life support by madison beer, her debut album which coincidentally raye co-wrote on
Introduction into Oscar winning tears live at the royal Albert Hall is insane if you havent seen it already ( watch the 1 with the vdeo of her performing not just the music one
Fantastic review of an amazing album! Thank you ❤ If you haven't already, you should check out the symphonic version of this album that was recorded live at the Royal Albert Hall - also sublime! Her live vocals are next level
You should defo listen to mahalia’s album love and compromise (she featured on five star high hotel) she’s as amazing as Raye, been fans of them for ages and they’re both amazing uk RNB.
070 is also great cacoon is 🔥 They also collab with Tame Impala. The slow rush saved me during covid(march 2020). Saw twice last year. If you smoke or partake in edibles. (the less i know the better, deep breather, why wont the talk to me)
The extended & uncut reaction is now available on Patreon!
Raye has been a songwriter in the industry for years, she's even written for Beyoncé! So proud of her and this album
OSCAR WINNIN TEARS MADE ME LOSE MY HEAD. I WAS SHOCKED GUYS. HERRR VOICE, HER TONE... SHE'S CRAZY
Ive seen clips of her performing some of these album songs live recently even better live with the band she doesnt just rely on auto tune her voice is amazing ruclips.net/video/BwFzqoVV3Xg/видео.html
@@sbrader97 thanks for the link. Yes she doesnt need autotune. Autotune needs her.

I know it's only February but this is already AOTY for me. I'm so excited to hear the music she's been making with Halle
You mean in the mermaid movie???
I second this!!
SHE'S BEEN WORKING WITH HALLE???
@@youlookin No, I read on twitter it was for Halle's solo album!
Yess, when Halle was filming the little mermaid in London, Raye and Halle were working on Halle's solo music !
RAYE and FLO, proud to be Beans and Toast 😂🤭
THE ARE EATING OVER THERE!! I WANNA BE BEANS & TOAST TOO!
naurr 💀
Fun fact: flip a switch originally featured Normani and it sounds crazy good. I wish they would’ve released it together 😩😩😩
Play “Buss It Down” into “CHURCH GIRL” and let the magic sink in⭐️💖💎😭🙌🏽🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I wanna see her Grammy next year!!!!
Not me singing a long with escapisim lmfao we ate that up XD
my top three: Ice Cream Man,Body Dysmorphia and Five Star Hotels. She is so unreal.
only correct answers BD did something to my brain i can’t fully comprehend and the production in FSH😫. she’s a siren for sure and her pen game is untouched!!!
A RAYE and IYLA collab would be fantastic.
I ACTUALLY HAD THIS THOUGHT MYSELF AND YESS!!!!
As a Filipino, u challenged me very wrongly to that karaoke... I was cookin'-cookin coz I ATE you tf up! Love u devi D
GDHDHSHD AS YOU SHOULD!!! ❤️❤️
the album has a part a and a part b, like two different sides, and its also meant to be tough like its meant to make you feel especially the first half
your explanation of buss it down has me cryinggg! But I definitely think that was her intention 💀
And she’s a GENIUS for that !!!

Apt
7:31 she’s very dynamic is the word that comes to mind for me!!
she’s so talented. wow.
Ever since Hard out here came out I thought that it would fit into her EP 'euphoric sad songs" but I like it on the album way better.
Worth it is such a good song it puts me in the mind of 70's music during that era my favorite exactly.
Normani was originally on Flip A Switch with Raye but for some reason was taken off
It was because of her label🤧 we about to riot!
Wait why is the lil karaoke bit so cute its like such a genuine way to truly include people watching, even if I dont sing along it made me happy to feel included in the fun you were having haha 🥺 Keep it up :)
She came with the food even when we've just started to think about being feed! RAYE is someone with PEN & VOCALS
She's phenomenal ! The fact that it's her first album is crazy everybody should be SCARED bc she's here to stay & slay ! I loved the karaoke that was so cool, another great reaction
So early and we love it
Been a fan of raye since 2018 I remember the first song I heard ft. Raye was “you don’t know me” and I was hooked. Saw past the auto tune and the generic bs and I knew there was an inspired star 🥲

That why Mary Jane sounded like that its intentional, it sounded like you’re high. Fyi

This album is so honest and beautiful 😍 she’s a true artist 🫶🏾
Buying the album you a real one!! ❤
Did you know that the demi of flip a switch features normani? I have it lol
Have u also heard her other leaks like fantastic,born again,California dreamin theres a lot of great songs that was from her scrapped 2021 album polydor didnt let her release fuck polydor. I think some of the 2nd half songs on the album wasnt as good she should have used some of those songs from her vault instead for the 2nd half
NO I DIDJT KNOW THAT!!
DEVIII IM SO GLAD U REACTED TO HER ALBUM, its soo goodd. Did u know that she wrote B's BIGGER on the gift?
This album is so strong lyrically, vocally and production. It’s so good and I’m so happy for her. There are a lot of callbacks to previous songs. On environmental anxiety it has “done to me” but sped up throughout the song which we here on black mascara
she wrote Bigger for Beyonce

Introduction into Oscar winning tears live at the royal Albert Hall is insane if you havent seen it already ( watch the 1 with the vdeo of her performing not just the music one
25:50 little mad she didn't leave normani on the song but I can tell it's re-recorded with minor change to the lyrics, she's dope🔥🔥🔥
There was problems with normani’s label which is why she isn’t on it
@@hahah7556 hopefully they can work it out for a remix and she does a new verse.... Mani really added something to the record
@@adrianjordaan7062 it’s already confirmed Coi Leray is the remix
@@jai2038 damn
