Raye states :

‘It is an artist's duty to reflect the times’. 

This quote is everything to me and I believe the best way I can try to do this is through my art and my music. 

There is so much darkness and pain in this world we live, and I wanted to create something both as deeply personal and as raw as I could find myself to be about my own mind and the world I see around me. 

The song is a 7 minute piece that I have crafted and scrutinised over the last year and a half, experimenting with different genres and sonic expressions, beneath all the layers and the lyrics, the underlying message is ‘Let There Be Light’. 

It is a prayer and a plea and a cry for help and I really hope this song will be able to bring some hope, the way this music does for me, to those who need it most.”

Genesis, the new three act opus from RAYE, is a masterclass in disrupting music as we know it. Drawing a parallel through storytelling the origins of her universe, RAYE elevates her emotionally raw and vulnerable lyrics with triumphant strings and horns, dulcet harmonies and emboldened snare, into a pitch perfect performance that is a divine battle cry. Genesis is a confrontational acknowledgement of a chapter not yet closed but with a set intention for a new beginning, drawing inspirations from big band, jazz, hip-hop, R&B, gospel and contemporary pop. Out of darkness comes light and with this new chapter, a musical renaissance is on the horizon
