Outstanding: Raye

RAYE is a London-born pop and R&B artist who’s taken up residency in the upper reaches of the charts since emerging in 2016. “This is a playlist featuring some of my favourite black artists,” she tells Apple Music. “Some are young and good friends, some have made old school classics. This is music I have grown up with and recently discovered, but I adore every song on this playlist. I hope you do too.”
