RAYE is back with song Black Mascara!
Raye: “This song 'Black Mascara' is about another story that has contributed to my
‘blues’. I used the juxtaposition of an upbeat dance track to
tell this awful story of being misled by someone I really loved and trusted.
While it was a dark low moment, it was also cathartic for me. The lyric
‘once you see my black mascara run from me to my mother’s
hands’ is me saying, ‘if only you could actually see the damage
that’s been done.’ But I don’t want the story to end
there, it’s meant to be empowering, to lend a voice to women like me
who may have experienced their own blues in this 21st century. That’s
what my album is about really – tackling all of those blues that we
experience as a generation. Ironically, this is the only upbeat dance track
on the album, but I used my voice this time to tell a raw unfiltered
story.“
About Raye!
Statement Chris Price, BBC Radio 1/1Xtra: “Raye is a unique talent with a very clear
sense of herself as an artist, vocalist and songwriter, and that’s
what drew us to her all along. It’s no secret that Raye’s
journey towards releasing her debut album has taken longer than she would
have liked, but that has given us time to develop a great relationship over
several years. Raye invited us to the studio and played us music and visual
content that articulated a crystal clear vision for her first full body of
work. She’s a multi-dimensional artist unconstrained by genre, so
she’s a perfect match for a radio station that thinks exactly the same
way.“
Statement RAYE:
“My goal is to bring artistic excellence and be as great as I am capable of
being. If that catches a wave, then amazing, but I'm not going to let that
freak me out or steer my plans or alter my purpose, and that is to put out
music I love and believe in.“
