She did this without background vocals and melodically carried the song on her own. Just brilliant. And the musical arrangements, brilliant. Nobody big right now is transforming their music to their live set like she is. Look at all the ways she performs Escapism too.
Heard this earlier on radio 1 and tried to Shazam it then only to realise it was live lounge after searching for it on TH-cam.... Class act. Unbelievable performance.
Artist is unreal. They managed to blend synth, rock, rap, and other styles in such subtle ways (ie: the classic Amy Winehouse-esqu (ish) her look is to catch the eye of the follower. RIP) Can’t get enough.
I hope she releases this version! Far prefer this iteration of the song than the more synth one, we can really appreciate her vocals ❤ I hope she does more!!
Completely agree. Hadn't really heard of her as an independent artist until this, then went to listen to her released version. This version is FAR better. I hope she realises just how good she really is. She has such AMAZING vocals. I remember her performing like this in Glastonbury a few years back. Please strip it back like this on tour. You don't need any synths 🔥 wish I had a fraction of your talent Raye! ♥️
@@kitingclaireful You might want to check out "The Thrill Is Gone", it has more a stripped back feel to it and she has done a really good live performance (Live at metropolis studios) of it.
Been listening to RAYE for more then 4 years and I’m still shocked she hasn’t got the recognition she truly deserves. She has such a beautiful voice it’s unreal. 🎵
@@benfranks4883 Really, where UK? That’s mad, l’m in Australia. Would LOVE for RAYE to come Down Under!! Tell me more- She is such a talent. Super wrapped for her!!
idk why she does not get the recognition she deserves. this is amazing, literally a masterpiece and everyone should be able to enjoy her voice and her art. congrats raye 💞
Just listened to this on the way home in the car and brought it up on TH-cam to show the husband because it was too amazing not to share. The end...whoah!
I'm normally not that keen on live lounge performance by artists I've not heard of but I was driving to work whilst listening to this and it blew me away. Absolutely amazing.
When I tell you she did that!! She did what??!! That!! That was amazing and beautiful!! This is why I love her! A true talent that is always giving us what we need! I am so glad she is independent! I’m ready for what she has in store! Keep being amazing RAYE! 💗
This was amazing! Listened live today & here for a re run with the visuals. I was blown away by the 2 songs, as it seems were Ricky, Melvin & Nat...& many, many other listeners who messaged Radio 1 afterwards. It's definitely her time now to shine. Been following her over the last couple of years since I first heard her featured on other artists music. Now she's riding solo & we get to appreciate the fantastic vocalist & performer that she is. This performance today showed off her power, passion & incredible vocal talent. Well Done Raye.. you have finally arrived! 🙂👏🏻⭐😍
This is the best live lounge since jamie xx. Every sound is perfectly placed to underpin Raye ❤❤ As a violinist, i can honestly say that the main violinist gives so much to this with her bow division, bow speed and dynamics. That said, the bass on the keyboard and the drummer's fills and runs are MESMERISING. This live lounge will stand the test of time 🎉🎉🎉
If Raye ever reads this I hope she knows how much her fans support her art!!! Even if the men in suits don’t always see it. F*** them!! 💗 Talent and art will prevail.
Muy feliz por ella, al fin está siendo completamente ella misma y lo que realmente quiere hacer !! Muy orgullosa de ella!! Sigue así RAYE! You’re the best
Have listened to this about 20 + times in different formats over the last three days and this s#it is popping. Her journey from there to here reminds me a bit of the journey @jessiereyez was almost forced to make in order to get her music out there.
She did this without background vocals and melodically carried the song on her own. Just brilliant. And the musical arrangements, brilliant. Nobody big right now is transforming their music to their live set like she is. Look at all the ways she performs Escapism too.
Loved her Mercury music prize performance. She has so many vocal qualities and this arrangement builds so well, in intensity.
Totally agree with you 👍
So happy for her, finally she’s doing what she really wants and finds joy in it. Keep on doing you honey ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
This is legit one of the best live lounge performances I’ve seen. That ending :O
Her art is top tier. It’s exciting.

I'm dissappointed actually, I thought this was sung by a much more better-looking woman.
I have not been this blown away by someone's vocals in a long time.
I hope she releases this version! Far prefer this iteration of the song than the more synth one, we can really appreciate her vocals ❤ I hope she does more!!

Its out!!!:):)
@@timemixchine what's out? Black Mascara has been out since August 2022. They're asking for this acoustic version.
Love her lives more than the iTunes felt this
Been listening to RAYE for more then 4 years and I’m still shocked she hasn’t got the recognition she truly deserves. She has such a beautiful voice it’s unreal. 🎵
She was being held hostage by her former record label. She will set the music world on fire this year with her debut album- cannot wait!!
@@no1nikstar392 I saw her live last night, absolutely unreal!!!
@@benfranks4883 Really, where UK?
That’s mad, l’m in Australia.
Would LOVE for RAYE to come Down Under!!
Tell me more- She is such a talent. Super wrapped for her!!
Came from the future to tell you she's a Grammy nominated artist now. And will be a Grammy winner, or we will riot.
Love this ! Great musicians esp drummer !
idk why she does not get the recognition she deserves. this is amazing, literally a masterpiece and everyone should be able to enjoy her voice and her art. congrats raye 💞

I lover her voice, her pronunciation and how relaxed and at ease she is while SLAYING. 😍
Omg stunning performance, she's the one. Love you queen ❤️👑. I can't wait for the album soon!.

She’s out of this world I’m obsessed with her album, but bro who styled her like that???
I hope I can score some tix for her Brooklyn show. She has won me over. Her words resonate.
