RAYE, 070 Shake - Escapism (Official Music Video) REACTION!!

[@hahah7556]

Raye has had the uk on choke hold for the last 7 years but was stuck in a toxic label only allowed to put out dance music she is now independent this year and is putting music out like this. she’s great this song went to number 2 on the charts this week

[@josephbates6612]

Can't explain how happy I am that she's free, cause I've been waiting for more of her deep music to come out and I can already tell this album bout to have me in a choke hold 🥰

[@luzzbightyear2126]

I mean I never heard of her til now so not really...

[@garrulus3399]

How stupid can a label be and not realize what she got within sevennnn years?

[@partypiano0729]

#1 now

[@ltaylor3033]

right her music was on the charts all the time. if you don't think you hears of her, she has songs that you heard of before but didn't know that it was here.

[@TrippleT9]

RAYE has written music for Beyoncé and many other people. She has been shackled by her music label and has finally been able to release her own music

[@mrnumba154]

She's actually has 2.3 billion streams.

[@littlewolf2330]

so that's why this song called Escapism

[@martychambers8927]

​@@littlewolf2330yes but still was doing well but she chould truly Express the way she wanted

[@NoFirstNoLastName]

“This sound like a Jay-Z beat” YES. It has such a 90s - 2000s beat, and I hope it brings it back.

[@CasteloBrancoG]

FOR FUCKING REAL

[@mszs3913]

Boom bap is what you're referring to.

[@jeanlouis358]

Raye is a AMAZING artist, I’m glad you guys found her. She’s so underrated and best known for being a writer

[@Condenast23]

She’s written songs for Beyoncé too !! Raye is great !

[@DaigeeDeJ]

What?! Like what songs?

[@dlctflwr]

yoo what

[@Condenast23]

Yeah bigger on the lion king album , great song

[@quizzlybear]

I actually did not know that! Wow, that’s amazing!

[@08KaseyS]

Her English accent, the way she pronounces the words!!! I love this song!!

[@oliviahasdimples]

This song is so unique. It goes from fast to slow and the lyrics are so beautiful. Also can we appreciate the music video

[@diku38]

This song is what dua lipa wished to sound like

[@iluvlany]

this is definitely one of the best songs to come out this year. THE LYRICS THE VOCALS THE PRODUCTION. im in love

[@willywonka1546]

This song is like a journey.

[@niles8102]

It's like a mix of 2010's Rhianna vibes mixed with Amy Winehouse lyrics! I am a hardcore rock and metal fan but when my coworker played this in our kitchen when we were prepping for a Christmas banquet, I had to ask what song this was. It's a catchy yet emotional song. Girl was heartbroken and let it out via song. I hope she blows up after the music industry did her dirty. She deserves her recognition!n

[@logicdied6766]

Same! It’s in my playlist bumping next to code orange and messhugah 😂

[@estelle9009]

what'd the music industry do?

[@Kuntresss]

The way she writes is so confessional like Amy Winehouse *peeks my head back on YT* Hunny when tf did this comment blow up??

[@quizzlybear]

I was literally saying to myself that her vulnerable storytelling reminds me a lot of Amy Winehouse!

[@kelishacorridon1859]

Modern day Amy Winehouse hands down

[@rogersmithh]

@@kelishacorridon1859 no she’s not at all please let Amy rest and do not compare people to her !

[@Becksnnc]

@@rogersmithh How is saying she's good like Amy Winehouse "not letting Amy rest". It's a compliment and is always done in music since musicians take inspiration from each other. RAYE definitely has been inspired by Amy and that's a good thing.

[@ruthlessrays9761]

I love those kind of lyricism

[@thepopupbot6013]

I get the vibe that she's inspired by Amy Whinehouse, the look, the beat thumping, and the vocal ability whewwww

[@quizzlybear]

YES!

[@Ellie_100]

I was so captivated with the beat and story of the song! I couldn’t stop listening to it.

[@LAT-lk1en]

Raye has beeen eating lately I’ve literally been obsessed with her new sound & this songgg

[@Tayxsims]

Soo proud of raye’s growth getting out of that shitty contract and becoming a solo artist and releasing bangersss

[@nooralz6109]

Uk artists are so underrated 😩

[@CAI.DREAMS]

Rachel Chinouriri!!

[@sw6325]

Yup … Adele, Ed Sheeran, Harry Styles, Sam Smith, Coldplay, Dua Lipa, Rita Ora, Amy W , Ellie Goulding etc etc etc and all the others over the last 70 years … Beatles , Rolling Stones, Led Zep, Elton etc etc if they just weren’t so underrated ; )

[@ademonizedwretchguy003]

​@@sw6325 David Bowie

[@muffincupcakeprincess]

​@@sw6325Yep definitely not underated

[@merfymac]

Tf are you talking about, they are everywhere

[@madison8568]

I have been hyper fixated on this song for like three weeks now. So good. All the versions of it. She has a really good live version out. I also love the song structure (stands out from other songs and normal song structure) and production choices. I would definitely classify this a dark RNB pop. Dark pop is really becoming popular more mainstream now. Dove Cameron and Nessa Barett are good examples of more straight dark pop. RAYE definitely adds some flavor to hers with the hip hop/RNB influence. She actually just mutually agreed with her old label to part ways. They didn’t want to let her release this song or her upcoming album. They wanted her to keep writing and doing dance music like she had been. She wanted to dig into her black culture and do this dark RNB pop fusion. She has gone full indie artist so she can have the freedom she needs right now

[@PerryPerfectPerson]

This song is a fucking beast! It should be getting a major push! She spits on every verse and the transitions are fucking crazy!

[@monjkenn]

Man...this song is so...I don't even have words.

[@allegraanegra455]

When I found this song I felt like nobody else knew it and that was because I took a chance on her TikTok ad. To see how far it came in such little time since then is wild.

[@Ghostrrr11]

Samee like when I first searched this song up it had 900k views now it’s on 4.1 million so proud of her

[@aakirax]

I heard this at the strip club and had me feeling goosebumps while looking at the girl dancing to it at the pole.

[@paul-anthony3737]

She just won 6 Brit awards y'all. Record breaker!!!!!

[@oth5secs]

I haven't heard a song this good in YEARS

[@goodmorning192]

This is the song of the year. I have been listening to this 10 times at least daily. Love her range of voice. She is a star, it's about time big players realise it.

[@nicollettes4665]

Raye is really a good artist. I remember listening to cigarette and confidence on repeat years ago. She has really grown into this new sound and I like it. Can’t wait to see more from her.

[@imwalkingonsunshine6850]

The beat you're listening to is a callback to the late 80s, early 90s rap music. From beginning to end, that's how it used to sound. A lot of people in the comment section weren't born yet (by the way, that's not a Jay-Z or Kanye sound...go back further than that and you'll catch it) when music similar to this was being made, but if you're wondering why you're responding to it positively, it's because you've all heard/listened to it before. Either way, great music. Raye's very talented. I'd love to hear more from her.

[@mirandajohnson5768]

raye is soooo good and underrated i hope she gets big, all her songs are amazing

[@adriannecarmichael6337]

She’s also written songs for Beyoncé and other mainstream artists but her label never let her put out her own album but I’m glad she free of them and doing her own thing

[@ninapinter3629]

FUCKING FINALLY!!! her new music is truly on a whole diff level...listen to Hard out Here that's about how her ex label fucked her over...it's truly amazing

[@loreenjean-charles465]

Hard out here is my favourite after Escapism. Her pen is unmatched 😭

[@d.iegocar]

I HAVE BEEN STANNING THIS WOMAN FOR SO LONG AND ITS LITERALLY FREAKING ME OUT THAT SHE IS FINALLY BEING RECOGNIZED Again SINCE YOU DONTKNOW ME!!!!! so so so so happy loved your reaction ❤

[@Kay100]

glad y’all reacted to this, this song been on replay for a while

[@jachineoguta1956]

I definitely recommend listening to Hard Out Here especially after you hear about her becoming an independent artist it hitttsss!! And coming in with a song like Escapism as her debut shows that she's not playing around. She wants this and deserves it.

[@soundofnellody262]

I hope Raye becomes the mega star she deserves to be. She writes quality songs and not just 0815-forget-me-tracks

[@josephbates6612]

Ugh so glad she's getting more recognition because she's been 1 of my top 5 since 2013. She's an amazing writer and has written for many voices, has an amazing artistic talent along with a voice to match, can play piano, and is a natural beauty.

[@liliemgt]

I was the one mentioning it☺️ RAYE is sooo underrated

[@plamenasiniye]

This is the second time I'm watching this reaction - I love both your videos and this song so much. I really hope we get to see your reaction to Black Mascara. Raye's pen is amazing, definitely one of the top songwriters of this generation.

[@LAVISHING]

Thanks for checking out my friend Raye! Loved writing her album with her!

[@saraaa02]

IM OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG!!!!

[@hamzazad5258]

[@jpjustscouse6031]

Her songs slaps so hard ❤🔥 More from Raye

[@jomi9957]

hard out here by raye is another banger!!!!!

[@keemxk]

I'm feeling that Boston shirt bro... currently watching from Boston rn that track is dope

[@teleishamber]

When I first heard this time I couldn’t stop jumping up and down dancing and repeat repeat repeat on the speaker, the beats the melody just too good, and how does a song have that many slick transitions

[@TechWizz]

She goes hard! Loved every minute of her delivery.

[@CrustyUgg]

I feel like we can all relate to this song. We've all been dumped. We've all gone out right after and got way too twisted. I love this song ❤

[@anitahargreaves9526]

She was on Graham Norton on Friday, on KZbin available, Thrill. It is hauntingly beautiful, full orchestra and no 1 in charts.

[@summerlandry6507]

The beat gave me missy elliot too❤❤❤ she gives me a new age amy whinehouse too 😌

[@tyresedaijaun4098]

LOVE RAYE!!

[@Gariibaby]

“She’s escaping each scene” 🤣🤣 thas a good way to put it

[@tatirodd3369]

Raye is amazing! I can’t stop listening to this song, so perfect! The visual, the look, the colors, the melody.. everything fits ✨

[@abbycareyyy7755]

I’ve been waiting for her to blow up BIG because she showed her unique true self even through those generic pop songs her label made her do for years. She made sure if it was generic - that beat was popping and those vocals gave shivers so it was the best generic

[@kike.matuso]

This song and video are just pieces of art !!! ❤

[@petriecevondollxoxo]

RAYE is unreal, black mascara and hard out here reactions plssss ❤

[@KMDN__]

Best new artist. I’m trippin cause I ain’t been into music in so long. When I Hurd this I freaked. Repeat every day during my run.

[@heathersokollu4916]

I just watched all reaction videos to this and yours is the best. You appreciate the boss music her lyrics and changes -and stay away from the judgement of whether one should behave this way ..

[@dreaminpink2]

I got chills !!!!! I'm just discovering this

[@Mezzy..]

It's really a masterpiece of a song, and it's really sad when you really listen to it, I can relate to her on a deeper level. AND I WAS BOUT TO SAY she reminds me of lady gaga but I didnt wanna say it as I thought I was the only one, but I loved gaga since I was a little girl so I'm in love

[@maddy1040]

react to her entire EP and the music videos as well perhaps .. crazy good the lot of them, especially ‘hard out here’ which was her first tune after breaking free of her record label and becoming an independent artist .. craaaaaazy good

[@soph493]

You should listen to her song Hard Out Here next! It’s just as good as Escapism! And her album comes out 3rd Feb!!

[@alanarama]

2.1K likes! Black Mascara time. "Hard Out Here" is fire af too. I think y'all will like that more than Black Mascara (which is more of a house/dance song, still fire tho)

[@Jzaday]

She really reminds me of like Katy B beats and Kat Dahlia. Both underrated artists ahead of their time

[@naturallexiness1518]

I discovered her ep “welcome to the winter” here in Yt in 2015 I loved her ever since !!

Nailed it with the gaga doja cat comparison. This song is flames.

I think she looks and reminded me of Amy Winehouse if you check out some of her live shows like I don’t know she just seriously reminds me of her

[@reevancarey]

Black Mascara is amazing too!

[@charli9424]

100% Have to listen to her song Flip a switch! 😍😍

[@anafano1613]

Bruh, I posted how much I loved this song on TikTok and i got so much hate about it on the comments. I was so confused because I personally think this song is a bop. So revisiting this song just gives me this sense or relieve that I am not the only one who loves this song.
