As RAYE says: “My 21st Century Blues. My debut album. My ugly complex beautiful mosaic formed from broken pieces of glass from the last 7 years of my life. My medicine, my anxieties and traumas, my unfiltered thoughts. This music accompanied me through my bluest blues, crafted unapologetically and fearlessly with love and tears, and now I can only hope it might provide the same medicine it did for me, for those who choose to listen. I can’t believe it is really happening. My first album.”

Martha Tang, Publicity Guru at powerhouse Mighty Real Agency told JRL CHARTS Gay Music News…”The album includes RAYE’s current smash hit UK No.1 single “Escapism.” (feat. 070 Shake) a no-holds-barred tale of self-medication with drink, drugs and sex after heartbreak, which has gone gold in the UK, Sweden, Norway, Australia, Finland, Denmark and New Zealand, Top 5 across Europe and currently climbing the US Billboard Hot 100, in addition to previously released tracks like “Black Mascara”, “Hard Out Here.”, and “The Thrill Is Gone.”
