People need to realize not everyone wants to sing with powerhouse Beyoncé vocals or have the soul of Aretha Franklin in their songs. A lot of us like these soft calming melodies coupled with a gentle tone. That doesn’t mean Raveena is overrated or lacks talent. Different genres of music exist for a reason
I've always been big on my cover versions so I'm well aware of how many awful ones exist unfortunately. The flip side is that I really notice and appreciate a good one when it comes along. This is one of those... trust me xx
Absolutely well said if everything an everyone looked sounded an was the same what a dam boring world this would be, my nana always said it's our differences that make this world 🌎 great never forget that an she was right too..
Imagine if Questlove had a vlog/podcast that featured a drummer from back in the day and drummer from today...talking shop and contrasting styles. I'd never miss an episode.
@@omagro8267 not at all. Totally legit. We need to capture it now. Some really good ones are leaving us. Neal Peart is a prime example. Imagine a conversation between him and Grohl. Goosebumps man.
i love how she is so connected to her voice and trusts herself to hit every note w intention and 'warmth' not perfectionism (even tho it is). it's also refreshing to stay in this dreamyness with her, so gentle. love her band members too. ravenna reminds me of the woman in the film, 'in the mood for love'.

Wow her music is so therapeutic, and makes me all warm inside and at ease. Her music is truly healing, and touches you and understands you at a soul level. We need music like this in this time period.Its like everyone losing feeling, detached, and like robots. Yet her music is vulnerable, intimate, and full of feeling. She’s bringing back soul music ,and reinventing it.Love you Raveena, keep doing what you doing girl 💕✨
Your description is spot on your in my head I love this music the universal feels luv it gotta luv Utube for ramdon songs yes thankyou bless the sound that sooths the soul 💜💯♥👌💯🐸💋🌻♦💕😇😘
Im so tired of losing friends in death and other ways during this pandemic of corona as im sure we all are. and this set finally let me cry after two months of no crying, after an abortion, everything. thank you to ALL of you that helped create this and of course thank you Raveena. LOVE YOU ALL. lets all hang in there, and use the free hotlines for suicidal thoughts EVEN if you just wanna talk to them for some hours. they allow this now because pandemic and i call four times a day when i feel CRAZYYYYYYY and then save me every damn time. bless them, bless the air we breathe. please wear a mask and lets all be responsable. i believe in you all. sending MUCH love. xoxo
Peace and Light I'm glad you were able to cry through tears comes healing I feel your pain with the abortion Aug 14 2019 I went through one the hardest thing I ever did in my life Aug 1 2020 my womb was once again blessed with my daughter Avianna "God heard and answered" If you have Facebook add me Rose Creates my inbox is always open
Hey beautiful light... may you never lose complete hope... keep seeing the light in each day even just a little. That is your light... reflected back at you. I'm sorry for all the sadness n pain may it fuel your next chapter
It's like butter, and how lucky am I to stumble upon this for bedtime music. Chef's kiss, this reminds me of the magic of words and tones, melody, energy, we are all electric. You have all the love and knowledge within, do you believe? Will you use it? It's all up to you
not sure i would call this "heat", to me that implies that it drives you or makes you want to do something productive giving you energy, this music makes me want to sleep or just cry in pools of my own self pity. don't get me wrong, its good music though.
She made me a Fan... So majestic She's speaking to my brokenness and my inner child. I feel such warmth this is actual beauty to my ears. Stunning and so effortless
Love ❤️❤️ this song it's mellow and her voice if people don't like her sounds ,they are not listening to the words not that mellow smooth feeling of relaxing vibe, She is awesome. L
Woah woah woah. I was not READY!!!!! The hair, the DETAILED eye jewels, the badass female bass player, the colors, the band, the videography, the vocals ----- INCREDIBLE!! I'm not sitting here crying.....its you!!! :D
I cannot believe how "still dreaming" is still on my repeat a year later. It fills my heart with goodness and positive energy. It reminds me of what i should be grateful for.
Just leaving an abusive relationship with a married man who swore he was leaving her then changed his mind. I didnt know he was married at first. It was complete mental emotional and physical hell. I had to care about everyone's feelings more then my own. I had to protect everyone but myself. Sing to my soul until it heals honey. Cry the tears I can't cry because I have to be strong. Thank you.
Omggg.....SAME SITUATION FOR ME....I know the strength it takes and YOU HAVE IT....Don't give up on yourself and TAKE CARE OF UR FEELINGS FIRST, the rest will fall in place!💯😘
being strong doesn't mean you can't cry cause you have to be strong ..... if you don't express how you fee somehow, it will start eating you up so embrace how you feel

@JW I’m sorry for what you went through. I can only imagine how hard it is. I’ve been in an abusive relationship as well. Hang in there. You have everything you need inside you to heal in time. Sending you so much love & strength ❤️
I must see Raveena in concert. Some of the most beautiful music I have heard. Some of the most beautiful people I have ever seen. Thank you Lord for introducing her and her music into my life!
i must say the art in this video. it looks like ancient Chinese art. the way they painted women with the hair adornments. the halo of light. I love how you incorporate classical Asian art with a neo r&b sound. this is beautiful. high five! work it!
My man doesn't like discovering new artists but was blown away by Raveena. I'm posting on his page as it is, because he's been playing these songs the whole day. We're officially in love
I have been playing Still Dreaming on repeat all day. Seeing @Raveena sing here makes me want to see her live something real. Her voice meanders all through the paths of my thoughts, and before so know it, I am lost. The harmony of this Woman's voice is simply beautiful. Makes me WANT to be my Woman's baby, let me tell you.
So I gave Raveena a listen back in 2018, but it didn't click for me. I even tried listening to her music a few times, but idk I just didn't "feel it". Fast forward to the autumn of 2019, the leaves were changing and my academically over-achieving self started failing all my classes in school after developing panic attacks and taking way too many amphetamines and barely sleeping, working a second job because I had been robbed in the spring of that horrible year. I truly felt like my life was falling apart, like I was losing my sense of purpose and direction, my sense of self-worth and identity was so wrapped up in school - while I was going through this really difficult fall season, I was also falling in love for the first time in many years with someone very unexpected, a one-night stand who became so much more to me immediately by the end of our first date - which ended up in us taking a hot bath together & listening to emo music (her request lmao, I happily obliged) followed by Sade. Instead of having meaningless but fun hookup sex I discovered we had so much more in common than I had previously ever imagined possible. Some lonely drunken night after that I stumbled home from the clubs, feeling a sense of longing for my newfound lover, and was really craving Sade's music - I was going through a second (or third?) Sade phase at the time, playing her sexy but subtle, delicate yet powerfully feminine music for the woman I was falling in love with, which was all very exciting to me because I was single the other times I had heavy Sade listening phases. It was while I was in a Sade youtube hole that hazy autumnal in the dead of night, staying up way too late for no good reason other than to relish in the luscious solitude of that good kind of loneliness - the kind when you really feel and truly listen to the music (a night exactly like tonight) that I stumbled upon this video. I was immediately drawn to Raveena's unique fashion sense, but then I found myself carefully noting and feeling intrigued by the diverse musicians comprising the backing band, the instruments they were playing, before finally being floored by the overall quality of the performance. Then "Still Dreaming" came on, and I lost it, lost myself completely in Raveena's voice and seductively personal & intimate lyrics. I was so enamored by the beauty of it all, the video, the music, the lyrics, that I started crying tears just being beholden by the experience of it all. This was the second time I've ever cried tears for the beauty of "it" when experiencing new music for the first time. About a year and a half before these tears of beauty flowed for this video, FKA Twigs - Cellophane completely broke me down as I had just been dumped for the first time by the first guy I had ever dated. After having been in a horrible relationship that left me very scarred for years prior, with my walls so high up for so many years spent alone, I am so thankful for this incredible woman who loves her emotional guy who cries to truly, profoundly beautiful music the first time he hears it. She loves that about me, it blows my mind that I found someone who truly loves everything about me, who doesn't make me feel like less of a man for my sexuality or for being emotional - but instead makes me feel like MORE of a man for being bravely myself & showing no fear expressing deeply felt emotions. I felt my walls rapidly crumbling when I showed her FKA Twigs - Cellophane for the first time and she also cried, having the same reaction as I did. I find it extremely powerful to be able to be moved by music so much that it makes you cry, especially when it's your first time ever hearing the music, it imprints such a powerful memory and attachment to the music, and I'm so glad I have discovered and allowed myself this strength. In fact, crying to music with my lover - an experience we have shared twice now when we mourn & celebrate her departed sister by listening to her sister's favorite songs, songs she had to pick out for the funeral of her beloved sister who raised her - that I feel closest to & most intimate with her. I was always a crybaby as a young boy but over the years life made me cold and throughout my 20s (especially in the couple years leading up to this) I felt very emotionless compared to how I was as a child and a teenager, like a sad robot broken by the world and let down by anyone and anything I had ever cared about. Life, people, and the world are cold and cruel but there is still beauty & love and sometimes it takes a decade to remember that but it always makes this life worth living once you do. Anyways I've hardly ever felt compelled to comment much on TH-cam, more or less write an entire prose piece bearing my deeply heartfelt and personal connection to a song, but thanks for reading, I hope this maybe moved you in some way & that you remember to open your heart to beauty and love in the most unexpected places and times with the most unexpected people. Here's to "real" music, to music that makes you cry "tears of beauty" the first or any time you hear it, to crying to music in general, to giving lovers another chance - much like I did with Raveena's music, and to falling in love in the deepest and most unexpected ways and times in life. We both love Still Dreaming and listen to it often together, singing it together laying in bed on a lazy morning, when we are in the car going for a scenic drive, when the sun is setting, at night after an argument when we kiss & makeup. I have no doubt this song will play at our wedding one day, it is "our" song. Thank you, so very dearly much Raveena, for making something so emotional, real, and breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you for reminding me to open my closed & cold heart to the warmth of love and grace. Thank you for giving me tears of beauty, you're truly an incredible artist who actually creates from the heart & soul (very rare these days!) & I can't wait to follow your musical journey and see where it takes you, and us.
When you welcome this feeling, you acknowledge how, yes, it means something and you have the right to live it, but also how you are outside, looking at the pain, like looking at a river floating, not being drowned. You are watching the cold from another perspective. Pain, just like cold isn't personal, you can be at peace with watching it move at its own pace.
I don't know which is more unbelievable, her incredible voice or the fact that there are people who actually unlike this! She and her team look and sound amazing! Great job!
One of the best music performance I've watched on TH-cam these past months! Thank you Raveena for blessing us with your amazing music and art 😍 can't wait to see what's next for your career but I already know you are a must-know R&B artist 🔥
I wasn't a huge fan of Raveena until I checked this one out, particularly Still Dreaming. It's the musical equivalent of a tight hug, a warm blanket and a cup of tea which spreads its warmth through you from inside out.
I just wanted to say, I have come back to this over and over again for the last 5 weeks of quarantine. You all bring peace to my very anxious soul right now, I just wanted to thank you for that.
Can’t help but smile reading everyone’s comments here... Her music hits deep on so many levels, and here we are... sharing this experience for a brief moment, from all walks of life, at random hours in the day... 💛
Was listening to music while doing my online test today, TH-cam randomly played this and I was like woah! Who is this!!!?!?!? Lol now I’m hooked, on repeat ever since
I think she’s one of the greatest artists of this century. Her music should be heard by so many more people, everybody deserves to listen to this beautiful music!
She has such phenomenal control of the subtlest shades of her voice and breath. Her singing is so incredibly expressive and moving.
People need to realize not everyone wants to sing with powerhouse Beyoncé vocals or have the soul of Aretha Franklin in their songs. A lot of us like these soft calming melodies coupled with a gentle tone. That doesn’t mean Raveena is overrated or lacks talent. Different genres of music exist for a reason
Big truth...
Facts! Tbh, its a vibe and one lots of us are adoring more and more.
I thought this is similar to what half of Sades songs felt like anyway. 🤔
I've always been big on my cover versions so I'm well aware of how many awful ones exist unfortunately. The flip side is that I really notice and appreciate a good one when it comes along. This is one of those... trust me xx
Absolutely well said if everything an everyone looked sounded an was the same what a dam boring world this would be, my nana always said it's our differences that make this world 🌎 great never forget that an she was right too..
drummers never get the respect they deserve. This drummer is fire.
Imagine if Questlove had a vlog/podcast that featured a drummer from back in the day and drummer from today...talking shop and contrasting styles. I'd never miss an episode.

I'm stronger
Stronger, stronger
You make me love everybody

You make me hurt everybody
Everybody

A call, a call
From heaven
Meant to be a mother and a lover
But you wouldn't let me
Let me
Oh, lord
I know you love to see me broken
You live to see me confused at my knees
Don’t talk too soon

It really is. Especially if you’ve ever been in an abusive relationship.

Sade is such a good choice to cover their voices are so compatible
Its like her music takes a hold of you, gives you a warm hug and makes you feel like every thing is going to be okay.
couldn't describe it better
❤
Lovers Rock is by far one of my favorite sade songs and she bodied it and i appreciate how much justice she did it
I came for Sade.
I cannot find the heart to fast forward.

Wow just when I think I'm done being obsessed with Raveena, she puts out some more heat.
not sure i would call this "heat", to me that implies that it drives you or makes you want to do something productive giving you energy, this music makes me want to sleep or just cry in pools of my own self pity. don't get me wrong, its good music though.

She made me a Fan...
So majestic
She's speaking to my brokenness and my inner child.

I have been playing Still Dreaming on repeat all day. Seeing @Raveena sing here makes me want to see her live something real. Her voice meanders all through the paths of my thoughts, and before so know it, I am lost. The harmony of this Woman's voice is simply beautiful. Makes me WANT to be my Woman's baby, let me tell you.
When flowers are feeling a little low they listen to Raveena to blossom
I've been going through some of the hardest times of my life - and this is just what I needed. Thank you for the healing.
Side by side with the Queen herself, Sade! ! Never thought I’d be ok with some one else covering her, but damn, girl!! 🌙✨🙌🏼
So I gave Raveena a listen back in 2018, but it didn't click for me. I even tried listening to her music a few times, but idk I just didn't "feel it". Fast forward to the autumn of 2019, the leaves were changing and my academically over-achieving self started failing all my classes in school after developing panic attacks and taking way too many amphetamines and barely sleeping, working a second job because I had been robbed in the spring of that horrible year. I truly felt like my life was falling apart, like I was losing my sense of purpose and direction, my sense of self-worth and identity was so wrapped up in school - while I was going through this really difficult fall season, I was also falling in love for the first time in many years with someone very unexpected, a one-night stand who became so much more to me immediately by the end of our first date - which ended up in us taking a hot bath together & listening to emo music (her request lmao, I happily obliged) followed by Sade.

Then "Still Dreaming" came on, and I lost it, lost myself completely in Raveena's voice and seductively personal & intimate lyrics. I was so enamored by the beauty of it all, the video, the music, the lyrics, that I started crying tears just being beholden by the experience of it all. This was the second time I've ever cried tears for the beauty of "it" when experiencing new music for the first time. About a year and a half before these tears of beauty flowed for this video, FKA Twigs - Cellophane completely broke me down as I had just been dumped for the first time by the first guy I had ever dated. After having been in a horrible relationship that left me very scarred for years prior, with my walls so high up for so many years spent alone, I am so thankful for this incredible woman who loves her emotional guy who cries to truly, profoundly beautiful music the first time he hears it. She loves that about me, it blows my mind that I found someone who truly loves everything about me, who doesn't make me feel like less of a man for my sexuality or for being emotional - but instead makes me feel like MORE of a man for being bravely myself & showing no fear expressing deeply felt emotions. I felt my walls rapidly crumbling when I showed her FKA Twigs - Cellophane for the first time and she also cried, having the same reaction as I did. I find it extremely powerful to be able to be moved by music so much that it makes you cry, especially when it's your first time ever hearing the music, it imprints such a powerful memory and attachment to the music, and I'm so glad I have discovered and allowed myself this strength. In fact, crying to music with my lover - an experience we have shared twice now when we mourn & celebrate her departed sister by listening to her sister's favorite songs, songs she had to pick out for the funeral of her beloved sister who raised her - that I feel closest to & most intimate with her.

Life, people, and the world are cold and cruel but there is still beauty & love and sometimes it takes a decade to remember that but it always makes this life worth living once you do. Anyways I've hardly ever felt compelled to comment much on TH-cam, more or less write an entire prose piece bearing my deeply heartfelt and personal connection to a song, but thanks for reading, I hope this maybe moved you in some way & that you remember to open your heart to beauty and love in the most unexpected places and times with the most unexpected people.

I have no doubt this song will play at our wedding one day, it is "our" song. Thank you, so very dearly much Raveena, for making something so emotional, real, and breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you for reminding me to open my closed & cold heart to the warmth of love and grace. Thank you for giving me tears of beauty, you're truly an incredible artist who actually creates from the heart & soul (very rare these days!) & I can't wait to follow your musical journey and see where it takes you, and us.
love you
This video has saved me so many times. Thank you technology, raveena, everyone who took part in making this happen
When you welcome this feeling, you acknowledge how, yes, it means something and you have the right to live it, but also how you are outside, looking at the pain, like looking at a river floating, not being drowned. You are watching the cold from another perspective. Pain, just like cold isn't personal, you can be at peace with watching it move at its own pace.
So beautifully said that's exactly where I am. Thank you 💓
you deserve to win an award from Grammy's for Best New Artist AT LEAST
🇧🇷
@@rafarangel23 brasileiríssimos!
Arthur S Sena i dont think só, because she dont released any cdj, just vinyl and mp3 :-/. This is Bussines of music. No CDs no prime. :-/
You can tell how much she loves herself and what she does and it makes me cry. I love to see it😪💛

Thank you TH-cam algorithm for introducing me to this goddess. I'm blown away.
She sounds SO MUCH like Corinne Bailey Rae in this recording. It's so beautiful.
Haha yes!!
Don't make me cry with the truth
i love the band members mouthing along the words with raveena because who can even help themselves when hearing a real life angel
this made my soul cry. THANK YOU RAVEENA.
I’m just finding your music and it’s so beautiful! Thank you for sharing your beautiful talent
This is a holistic experience 😭😭
I don't know which is more unbelievable, her incredible voice or the fact that there are people who actually unlike this! She and her team look and sound amazing!
Great job!
anyone else get goosebumps? 😱 absolutely incredible piece.
her voice is so emotion evoking ☹️ started crying at still dreaming
One of the best music performance I've watched on TH-cam these past months! Thank you Raveena for blessing us with your amazing music and art 😍 can't wait to see what's next for your career but I already know you are a must-know R&B artist 🔥
PS: your French fans are waiting to see your shows in Paris! 🇨🇵
I wasn't a huge fan of Raveena until I checked this one out, particularly Still Dreaming. It's the musical equivalent of a tight hug, a warm blanket and a cup of tea which spreads its warmth through you from inside out.
Been telling folks she’s the best out since Ashanti mixtape and respect to the entire band
Raveena covering Sade!? Heaven.
I just wanted to say, I have come back to this over and over again for the last 5 weeks of quarantine. You all bring peace to my very anxious soul right now, I just wanted to thank you for that.
When she says: take caaare of me✨, it sounds like Daniela Andrade💛💛💛💛 i love both 💛💛💛
My mans on drums 🥁!!! 😭😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥🌞🌞🌞
This has sucked me out of the black hole and revived me all fresh. Thanks Raveena for all the love!
Can’t help but smile reading everyone’s comments here... Her music hits deep on so many levels, and here we are... sharing this experience for a brief moment, from all walks of life, at random hours in the day... 💛
Your vibes are helping me heal at a time when things are so incredibly hard. Thank you for sharing your gift with all of us. You are magic. 💗
The upside to COVID-19 is that I'm discovering GEMS on TH-cam.
She is PURE FIRE!!!!! BLAZING HOTTTTT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
same i found so many great artist
Ravenna and Mama Saturn keep me sane
It's wonderful when TH-cam gets it right
Peace and Light to everyone
Definition of a true Artist...
Lovers Rock is beautiful!
I have listened to this at least 15 times in the last week. Incredibly soothing. Looking forward to more live music from Raveena.
Back three years later and still enjoying the crap out of this
What a colorful band and I like how everyone is subtly matching.
Was listening to music while doing my online test today, TH-cam randomly played this and I was like woah! Who is this!!!?!?!? Lol now I’m hooked, on repeat ever since
I think she’s one of the greatest artists of this century. Her music should be heard by so many more people, everybody deserves to listen to this beautiful music!
Got a notification about Lover's Rock on Amazon Music and nearly dropped my phone for clicking so fast. Now this! A blessing.
Everyone needs to know who Ravenna is!! Music that speaks directly to the soul. Thank you for that. 🙏💕
2:59--3:58 hot tears running down my cheeks bruh,, her voice is so ?? heavenly ??
You are a great reference for those of us who are dedicated to composing and playing our own songs.
MY CONGRATULATIONS
Most powerful music for anxiety
sometimes (okay, often, maybe every second second) i want to reset my life and start over, being fully aware how much beauty we are capable of
That "take care of me" just hits a bit different.💕
BEAUTIFUL..
Goosebumps. Her voice, her spirit, the support of the band
whoever that man was i am so glad you have let yourself free, never go back
TH-cam algorithm led me to your music and I just can't be thankful enough.
This is the best Sade cover I have ever heard.
Her voice just does something to me 😭😭
Love her voice, her style , her everything 🎉❤
Only just discovered Raveena, she's magic and has an air of mystical floating
Wow her eye makeup and eye jewels match her earrings! That’s a cool look.
wow my soul is cleansed🧿🔮💕
went from 🖤 to 🤍 within 15 seconds,
Raveena is absolutely amazing 🥺
Stronger is such a stunning song. Thank you for singing to my heart Raveena ❤️✨
Incredibly stunning voices, instrumentals, faces, outfits, makeup, and passion! This video is a true masterpiece
