RAYE broke through on the charts in 2022 with the trip-hop-tinged 070 Shake collab “Escapism.”, but she’s been writing emotionally raw, soul-influenced tracks for artists all over the pop spectrum since the mid-2010s. The London singer-songwriter has lent her vivid, from-the-gut lyrics and deceptively catchy vocal melodies to artists as varied as pop futurist Charli XCX, electro duo Snakehips and trap titan Quavo.
