It’s absolutely blows my mind still, that her record company never saw this potential. Like what people are running labels these days? I just listen to music, and even I could tell, this girl is an artist, a proper musician. Last laugh to her. But just imagine all the unsigned talent because labels just want puppets.

This is the main reason why I (along with many others) gave out of the idea of working in the music industry. I love music, but every single time I tried to pitch raw, talented artists that create great music I always got hit with the “not enough streams” comments. Labels don’t want to invest in you long term, they are only interested in what’s trending/what can make them money right now. Plus you have to be on their good side, if they don’t approve well then that’s it. Raye is one of many, but things turned out good for her in the end. The music industry is a business first mindset but there’s a lot of gatekeeping, bullshit, cliques and all around fuckery that drives music nerds like myself out of it. I would advise artists to stay independent, build your community and develop your art. Sure it’ll take time, but it’s time well invested instead of being on the shelf or waiting for a major label to give you an opportunity. You lose nothing by betting on yourself first and owning 100% of the music YOU make.

Raye has one of the most triumphant 'told-you-so' stories of recent chart history. Signed to Polydor Records as a teenager, she spent years on pop's periphery, writing songs for Beyoncé and Little Mix, and lending her vocals to top 10 hits by David Guetta and Jax Jones. But her solo material never scaled those heights and, in 2021, she told fans her label was refusing to release her debut album. Dozens of potential hits were "sat in folders collecting dust", she said, while others were being given away to bigger stars "because I am still awaiting confirmation that I am good enough". "I'm done," she concluded, "being a polite pop star."

I feel like this part of Genisis is the most underrated... it deserves as much love as the other parts, a masterpiece

REAL

the texture of her voice is so beautiful

A true jazz singer…Amy would have loved her realness

personally, my fav part of genesis! she's got such a voice for jazz

so very beautiful, both the music, raye herself and these visuals. god bless the nhs

When I heard her singing this song at the Brit Awards, I thought it would be something different. But the reality is that it was much better than I thought. Big RAYE.

Who's doing it like her????? 🤩

A Raye of Light! 🕯️ Her vocal control and power is admirable, and that 17 piece big band arrangement ?? Everything is so well executed. I'm just glad get to live in the same time as Raye!

It's so cool you/your team decided to record the BTS of this song. Feels like something very special

This is some hot swinging big band jazz music! All right Raye! You got this girl! Yeah! I love this sensational music and that 17-Piece Big Band Orchestra! They were amazing! Incredible performance! Nailed that song! Nicely done! 🔥🤩🤩🎶🎵🎶👏👏👍❤✨🙂

She sings, you listen! I could never skip a song from Raye. What a talent! GOD!

Me neither, RAYE is talented!

Winehouse is gone, the world filled that musical void ❤️

One of the most talented vocalists of our time right now. Amazing, Raye!!!! you have a gift.

"Awesome" is a term that is so overused that it has lost its impact and meaning. "Awesome" should be reserved for special moments like this - this was AWESOME! ♥

I absolutely love this! Bringing back REAL music with her extraordinary voice

Not just her voice even her looks are amazing...what a beautiful lady. ❤

Part iii is my favourite part of Genesis. Love this clip!

She's everything and more

Oh my God, you are such a successful, hard-working girl. I hope you continue to be successful and determined throughout your life. Let everyone hear this girl. She has the most natural and clear voice I have ever heard in my life. Raye continues to shine like a great light in the music industry, everyone should hear it 🕯️🖤🍷

Raye,has an AMAZING voice.Saw her at the O2 Arena.

Waiting for you on 31 August ❤🇵🇹

Raye single-handedly brought back the roaring 20s

A collaboration with Amy Winehouse would have been everything

Its a marvel to see a talent like raye
