RAYE Essentials

RAYE exploded onto the left-of-center pop scene with her 2014 debut EP, Welcome to the Winter, and the South London singer/songwriter's free-spirited anthems have made waves ever since. Her tunes playfully skirt the boundaries between dance, pop, and Afro-Caribbean sounds: On “Decline,” she flips a Ja Rule classic into an empowered breakup banger with Nigerian singer Mr Eazi, and she joins Stefflon Don and Mabel for the slinky Afrobeats-inspired “Cigarette.” Over the bubbly house groove of Jax Jones' “You Don't Know Me,” she warns thirsty dudes to stop interrupting her girls' night out.
