On Zoom, the South London-born balladeer rests on the far side of a couch in a pink-lit double-decker currently steering its way towards England’s Birmingham.
And it seems things are finally going Raye’s way. She snagged her first no. 1 on the U.K. charts with her dramatic, 070 Shake-featuring viral song “Escapism.,” her album’s lead single with warning-sign sirens that symbolize the arrival of a burning new star.is awash in decadent instrumentation and theatrical inclusions that feel as if the listener is putting a stethoscope to her heart.

Being someone of mixed heritage and mixed culture, I was raised with an African mom and a White dad, and Swiss cousins. I have never been one thing.
