we watched Raye’s legendary Royal Albert Hall performance on patreon!
She's got a confessional story telling style that harkens me back to Amy Winehouse. So good.
Omg so true
she even kinda looks like her too
I LITERALLY TOLD MY FRIEND SHE REMINDS ME OF AMY WINEHOUSE !!!! She is fucking PHENOMENALLLLL UGH
@@bhattasourish2 i literally told everyone that i think so and nobody agreed like what??😭
Stop comparing artists. No need
this is one of my top albums of the YEAR and we’re only in february
Same
I love you soph God bless you ❤️❤️❤️
This album is just ✨WOW✨ but Portals by Melanie Martinez killed my past life.
RAYE just made history at the Brit Awards, winning six of the seven prizes she was nominated for including songwriter of the year. She is the first woman ever to win the Brit’s songwriter of the year award. RAYE is coming for all the Grammys!!!! I’m so proud and happy for her. Let the flowers rain down on her beautiful head. ✨🌺🌷❤🌷🌺✨
RAYE better at least have a nomination for best new artist at the next Grammy Awards. She needs her love out there!
she’s been in the industry for 8 years. impossible
@@AshMK it's not how long you been in the industry, but when you had a breakthrough. her breakthrough was 2022/23 so i'm 99.9% sure she qualifies this comin season
@@AshMK Anitta and some others like Omar Apolo were nominated while being for like 5 years each on the industry lol, but they recently started to get mainstream on the US, that's why they apply, so it's RAYE
I hope because she deserves it so much.
SOTY, ROTY and Best Duo/Group Performance for Escapism
Best Pop Vocal Album and AOTY for the album
this album is a masterpiece! she talks about politics, s*xual assault, body dysmorphia, addictions, anxiety, the planet being fucked ... she deserves the AOTY 🏆
Raye's music seems to be a direct reminder of avant garde pieces. We all know for a fact that she's committed to innovating music, even if it means reaching far places.
HELP I KEEP SEEING U EVERYWHERE FIRST ZZAVID AND THEN SOMEPLACE ELSE AND NOW THIS
She SERVED with this album independently and i'm so happy for her
Making a gospel style song called Buss It Down…is so fucking funny I love her 😂 (also reminded me of CHURCH GIRL)

Hard Out Here**
@@sofiasf11 no problem ☺
Ice cream man is such a painful song..
I love you for this
Thanks a lot for this 🤗
I saw her live performing these songs a couple weeks before the album came out and she is INCREDIBLE
I’m glad I bought tickets the other day 😭
what a privilege omg (I'm from Brazil and I don't think she's coming here so soon :c)
Me too! She was Lewis Capaldi’s support act when I saw him and she was so so incredible
You should totally check out her Albert Hall Orchestra version of the album it literally is indescribable
OMG, YES, HE HAS TOOO!!!
raye is too good, her vocals are everything, i really hope her album gets nominated for something
her vocals, melodies, flow, harmonies, songwriting, ... it's so fucking amazing indeed!!
IT DID AND SHE WON, coming from march 2024 to comment and commemorate that 🎉🎉🎉
The silliness of Buss it Down at the end is SO REAL. Along with Worth It, where she declares that someone can "be her glass of wine" after earlier in the album relying so heavily on the actual substances, its SOO cathartic to hear after all of the shit we go through in the earlier parts of the album.
Theyre not throwaway because theyre happier, theyre AMAZING.
She deserves the fun happiness of them.
Escapism just hits so HARD it’s insane!!!
It’s hits so many different spots, it’s incredible.
The production goes so hard you almost forgot how sad the lyrics are.
As someone who fell in love with her voice back when she was a dance pop feature girlie, I’m SO HAPPY ppl are giving her the recognition she deserves!! 🥰
same
one of the best album's that I ever heard
listen to more albums
@@alexsatrium "one of the..." read properly
@@alexsatrium not too much on raye now.
@@alexsatrium shut up
Agreed
How I felt seen and understood in “Ice Cream Man” over the sexual abuse and rape I experienced when I was just a boy really hits home right now, and made that song so powerful for me. I’m in a much better place now (and have basically had one of the biggest glow ups I’ve ever experienced - if I do say so myself), so it doesn’t upset me as much as it used to, but it still sits there in the back of my mind.
Great video as usual, Troye.
I'm glad ur better now and glad to hear ab ur glowup lol
i really hope you are doing fine now. Please take care of yourself...im so late for this album but it is just so good and i was just listening to ice cream man and now your comment made me emotional again.
your hype is infectious thanks for being you
Agree, Oscar winning tears needs an Grammy because it is just indescribably unique (as the rest of the album) but it is so theatrical and just 🤌🏻✨ Chef kiss
i cant believe youre reacting to this. RAYE has been slept on for SO LONG. Her solo work before this also deserves a react. So glad to see this album getting the recognition it deserves
her songs are SOOO good and they came out at the perfect time - it's like an era being revived; it's fresh yet nostalgic, production with the same theather-esque vibe, that new york blues and rnb style, etc. etc. etc. 👏👏👏
i’ve BEEN on the raye train since 2016, i’m so glad she’s finally getting the recognition she deserves!!
It is without a doubt the best reaction made for this album so far.
Honestly all his reactions
This is really album of the year I'M SO PROUD OF HER
The range of feelings and experiences that she covers in this album leaves me speechless, especially body dysmorphia and ice cream, Raye did not hold back on covering hard topics.
And environmental anxiety !!!!
I had never listened to anything she'd done before except for her featuring on "You Don't Know Me", but I was intrigued by her story. Now I literally cannot stop listening to this album, it's so special, and it's truly a declaration of profound love for music but also for her public. I have a feeling she is going to be huge, much more than she would ever have been, had she stayed with that label. I can't wait to see what she does next!
You said it! Like, truly I agree with everything you said with a profound amount of sincere gratitude for the artist, the truth sayer, the rebel, the angel, the voice, the queen, the woman that guides my soul into a euphoric place with just a whisper.. Raye. 🙌🏼
guys leave him alone with rep, this is coming form a huge Taylor fan, enjoy the insane art that is rayes album. please. thank you.
This album combines so many of the styles of music I love so beautifully & you can tell she writes all her own songs. So happy she's finally getting her flowers, especially as an indie artist!
i'm literally SO proud to be from the UK, truly the best vocalists and musicians in the world i fkn love that for us if i'm honest it makes me so happy 😍
Agreed! Raye, jorja smith, sinead harnett, emeli sande are a few that I love. The UK breeds talent 👌
It's so sad that the industry kept her locked away for so long, she has so much skill across the board. I can't wait to see what opportunities open up for her. She has shown many many skills in this one album. 🙌🙌 Definitely my top album of the year.
It makes you wonder how many other absolutley stunning artists are hiding out there! I heard its because they don't want big competition with their big artists, so they just sign people to not let them sing.
she's so good, that label really was dumb 'cause now she's on the top as she should!! 🙇🏽♂️
this album is so fucking special and incredible and deserves all the recognition. I totally agree with you when you say her love for music is so visceral in each track. It just feels so authentic and intentional and I respect her so much for that. I’d say it was definitely worth the wait because she was able to release this music on her own terms and share messages that were important to her without a label trying to manipulate it into something purely profitable. This album is pure art!
See this is why I love this channel so much, I click on every video even if I don't know the artist because of the commentary. And on occasion, like this time, I get surprised and introduced to a new artist and album that I really like now.
i can't believe i'm a year late for RAYE but i've been saved
I love Raye so much. I grew up in the same area as her and Im just so excited to see someone from my hometown growing so much and becoming such an awesome independent artist!!!
"CR0, I'm from the ends but I'm an actor" CROYDONNN GIRLLLL
CR7 in the building 😎🤩
IS SHE FROM CROYDON!? I love her even more....
@@whosthatchick5150 YESSSSS !!!
The song enviromental anxiety it's OMG! She literally have a song who make everybody feel anxious because the messy production (on purpose)
Black Mascara is the best song off the album! The stutter pattern with that bass and the build up with the minimal singing and the rap verses! Such a banger! So addictive! Urrrghhh! Eargasmic!
My favorite too of the album
Died giggling at your absolutely rocking out to black mascara 😂😂😂
THIS ALBUM IS AMAZINGGG
I've been listening to raye since 2014 she is literally MY BABY 🥺 im so proud of her
I just love how cohesive and flowy this album is it’s also so balanced as well, truly a masterpiece. Also you always bring it with these reactions and I love it, really makes me feel validated in how into these songs and albums I get.
She has the best album of the year i’m telling you. She best win a grammy (amongst other awards).
Love it!! ❤
Troy really represented me when I first listen to the album. I still can´t believe this is actually a debut album
I LOVE THIS ALBUM. SO EXCITED!
She is crazy talented. I am extremely happy she got to release this because it's a beautiful album.

We need this Grammy because she deserves new artist and for this album because Raye been on repeat since the singles dropped!
THANK YOU so much raye for not letting the ART of making an ALBUM go away. Your story is beautiful and your masterpiece has been touching us all. (Yes I know it’s not her channel but I wanted to do it here)
Why am I watching this video for the 3rd time since it was released and I am still crying in the end? :( This album is so good! She deserves so much recognition! She is amazing! If you watch her live performances you can tell how much she loves music and how incredible she is!
RAYE is so good. And so underrated
Now PLEASE react to her performing this album at the Royal Albert Hall with an orchestra! It’s INSANE 😩👏🏾
RAYES album is so down to earth, honest, just amazing it gives me chills and some songs off the album made me cry. Like her voice and the music like this girl gives me GOOSEBUMPS the nice and OOOU this shit slaps type goosebumps. RAYE really deserves all the recognition and love.
RAYE is SO TALENTED AND GENIUS IN WHAT SHE DOES. This album is the best Fr.

I genuinelylove to see you reacting to music, it makes me see and love stuff that I didn't in the first place and your energy feeling everything is so energizing
Been a fan of her since 2014 SoundCloud EP. I’m so happy for her right now ❤
Can’t lie, I only really took notice of this album because of this video, so thanks for that. Been watching your reactions for a few days and your energy is so so uniquely great. You are definitely made for this.
dude this is one of the best albums ive heard in SO long im so impressed
Body dysmorphia made me cry so much
Troy, you're a king! Always glad to watch your videos and find these new records along with ya (Can't wait to stream Raye all night long!). Keep up the good work 😄
I'm so proud of her. Since I listen to her for the first time I knew she would shine eventually. And I've been rooting so much for raye since I knew about the struggles she used to have with her previous label. I wish her the best from now on. She's so talented! I love this album and I loved your react
I was literally in the car today listening to this album for the 700th time and i thought "man i would love if Troy reviewed this album I bet he would absolutely love it" and HERE WE ARE !!!!! This gave me so much joy!!!!!
This is by far the best reaction to RAYE I’ve seen ever! Thank you for this Troy 🥰
I paused and listened to the album the second I heard that introduction, and I’m so glad I did, this is an incredible project
This album is just insane, I viciously glad it's so incredible because of how held back she was. It's the best eff u.

IM so happy you’re reacting to Raye 🤝❤️😭
The track hard out here: when she said no weapon formed against me shall prosper….I GOT CHILLS. I just say it to myself all the time now.
I wish I could watch the entire thing, this video is amazing!!
This album is absolutely INSANE... RAYE is an ARTIIIIISTT.... Like, how many genres she can pull of? That's crazy. Tell me another artist who can pull of rapping/hip hop, soul, disco, funk, latin music, pop, jazz.... And the melody changes, the switch ups, format shifting vocals, great beats, the intricate production, everything that's added also adds to the song's message and isn't just added because... and the messages, the lyrics.... I'm nerding out. She reminds me of Amy Winehouse, Twenty One Pilots (especially with the melody switches and rapping as a flow of thought that she needs to let out), Adele and so many more and she is STILL her own fucking artist despite this being her debut.
Yesss!!! I was waiting for this. So glad you did this.
This reaction was such a blast to watch omg 😭❤️ deserves more recognition
Love a reaction as visceral as my first time listening to this album 😌✨
i love raye and your reaction really did it for me. i love this channel
Wow I don't know how I have never heard of this woman this album was SO GOOD! Holy crap. I'm rewatching this video when I need a pick me up.
Seeing her in concert next week. This is by far one of my favorite albums this year. Can't wait!
Thank you so much for reacting to RAYE, she deserves to be known worldwide 🔥 she's stunning!!
I'm glad I watched this. My playlist is getting renovated.
brooooo this album from top to bottom is a masterpiece
I have been waiting his reaction to her for weeks ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!
This video makes me so happy! One of my favorite vloggers listening to one of my favorite artists
YESSS TROYYY this is my new fave album of all time, can't wait to watch this
Troye this is the first video I seen from you and INSTANTLY subscribed because your energy and vibes are super high vibrational and I’m HERE for it. Consider me a fan 🙌🏼😍
