RAYE - BRIT Awards 2024 Medley ('Ice Cream Man', 'Prada' & 'Escapism') | Reaction

[@jaspercullenhale]

I can’t wait to have dementia when im old so I can listen to her music all over again for the first time

[@ashlenamusic]

OMG RIGHT! The only good thing about dementia would be that

[@tomwhite4736]

I cared for my late mother for ten years. Believe me , I wouldn't wish dementia on my worst enemy .

[@cirillaf9193]

From nobody wanting to take her songs and not being allowed to put an album, to a record breaking 6 wins including song and album of the year. Truly popjustice.

[@ashlenamusic]

AGREED

[@ElBelle333]

I love this woman so much it's nuts. That album being snubbed by Grammy's was a crime against art. I don't go on the Discord much but I have been consuming her art for years. Waiting for this album was torture as she dropped single after single for years. And now I feel guilty wanting a new one so fast but she's too good!

[@ashlenamusic]

hahaha I feel guitly too I just wanna see how INSANE her next album will be

[@ElBelle333]

@ashlenamusic I am gonna say our girls Taylor and Beyonce are the music industry right now, but she's the music industry of the future. Guaranteed she will hit their status, she's too talented not to.

[@ashlenamusic]

Agreed!!!

[@jojociara5201]

@@ElBelle333 agree, but her talent is incomparable to them. RAYE crosses genres like she's skating on ice. Only artist I have ever encountered who takes her songs, i.e Escapism and Prada and rearranges them to spend like brand new songs. Her voice on Prada acoustic version is heaven. And the newest 4am version she created for Escapsim validates it more

[@madjey17]

Grammys are scammies

[@beladonnadiaz4357]

I cried like a baby. I haven't even known this artist for 24 hours and I'm so happy to have met you

[@ashlenamusic]

Hahaha right??? I got so emotional for her 😭

[@jodieelouisee6787]

Everybody cried when she won. She was soooo underrated

[@ashlenamusic]

She still is

[@niraxlevi9930]

Still is unfortunately i ❤ her ,super talented

[@stevenmclaren2730]

I hadn't heard of Raye last week. I watched her performance by accident, by beautiful accident. She is a flower unfolding, a story with a beginning. She is special

[@ashlenamusic]

omg Have fun listening to all of her music!!

[@Annerz78]

you should check out her live concert at the royal Albert hall

[@ashlenamusic]

@Annerz78 I unfortunately can’t upload it to KZbin as it’ll get blocked

[@Annerz78]

Very unfortunate 😢

[@madjamie69]

"A flower unfolding" - I LOVE that

[@jg6579]

I've watched several reactions to this because it was so freaking amazing and living it again through someone else's eyes pulls at my heart strings one more time. However, your reaction for me, was the best so far! My first time reacting to you but I can tell you're genuine and you honestly care for what you're watching. P.s. I've heard of 'Discord' but had no idea what it was. Now, after hearing you talk about it, I'm definitely checking it out. Thx.

[@ashlenamusic]

That’s so kind thank you! See you on dates discord!

[@seobrandon]

she’s SUCHHH a performer. ima glad she’s getting her flowers finally

[@thomasdior7266]

I accidentally saw her performance on social media someone posted. I cant pass a day without listening to her music since then. I am so grateful to algorithm for the first time. 😂

[@TyInEngland]

It was great being at the O2 arena to see her perform this in person. What you can't hear from this recording is the whole crowd singing along

[@terenasimons5247]

That performance was amazing and Raye deserves all her awards!!!! She finally gets her flowers 💐 well done such a talented woman!!!!!

[@ashlenamusic]

Agreed!!!

[@danfrancca]

I wanted to see her at the Grammys so bad

[@iamdarealkikiX2]

Me toooooo cause more people in the US will know who she is ughhhh. I love her bad

[@riversfrank826]

I need that new song so bad 😭 it sounds too good!!

That signature 18 seconds belt at the end of the song, sigh 💕💕💕

[@tomwhite4736]

Album of the year / best new artist/ artist of the year / song of the year/ best r&b act /songwriter of the year / .I'm from England so i watched and recorded the whole show .she is absolutely brilliant .❤

[@bozjidar1720]

Why did she won for the new artist???? When she is not new artist?? I know her at least 5 y

[@tomwhite4736]

@@bozjidar1720 Yes that did confuse me somewhat and I think by her remarks about being a new artist , she seemed a little embarrassed .

[@4King2Ganja0]

She won best New artist because this was the first time she was putting out her own music independently.

[@jodieelouisee6787]

😭😭😭 sobbing again our girl did that shit are you MADDDDD😭 she makes me endlessly proud

[@ashlenamusic]

same jodie

[@darrenardron6953]

i like the background singers this way, they are expressioning their own indiviusality xx

[@ashlenamusic]

Agreed!!

[@AshRoberts91]

I was crying and smiling all over again watching this with you. Words cannot explain how proud I am. She’s just so pure and down to earth and deserves the world! And that NEW SONG!!! I’m so excited for what’s next! Thank you Ashlena for your reaction videos, getting to experience things again from your eyes is so magical ❤

[@ashlenamusic]

Aww thanks Ash!

[@jeremyx-tein87]

I've watched this performance an unhealthy number of times within the few days it's been out😭❤. It was my 1st time hearing about her and now I am intrigued and in awe of how ridiculously talented she is. The last note she hits gives me chills everytime

[@ashlenamusic]

So glad you love Raye!!

[@alexguajardovera]

I cried too😭 . Now she is coming to Argentina and finally I can see her . Proud of my queen and her first grammy is coming

[@alexguajardovera]

PS: she sang a new song

[@ashlenamusic]

Have the best time

[@elijennings]

This woman genuinely changed my life with her music. She absolutely means the WORLD to me and I'm so so SO damn happy she's finally getting her flowers because she DESERVES IT!! I was fortunate to meet her in Seattle at her show last October and it will forever hold a special place in my heart. She is SUCH an incredible, wonderful woman and it's so spectacular seeing her THRIVE!!! 🥹 And shout out to the Discord as well! It's so incredibly wholesome there and it's such a beautiful environment there 🫶♥️

[@ceceliagarmer5479]

I got to see her perform live in Nashville in October. She was MAGNIFICENT! I also got to meet her, and chat with her for like 5-10 minutes. Raye is exactly who you hope she would be. A very sweet, humble, and genuine person.

[@ashlenamusic]

That makes my heart happy

[@ceceliagarmer5479]

Raye, with Views??? 23K views.... What's going on? She's soooooo good! I can't wait for the next album and new album!

[@ashlenamusic]

I had no idea it had that many views 🤯

[@totoflelyonnais]

Saturday I came with my sister from France to attend the show and to be honest I didn't know Raye very well. I left the O2 arena totally in shock. This woman is incredible. I absolutely want to see her in concert

[@ashlenamusic]

So glad you enjoyed it!!!

[@chrissiebabe234]

This is absolutely emotional, but in a good way. Her talent is above next level.

[@ashlenamusic]

It’s insane how good she is

[@filipe_diass]

no one deserves this more Raye

[@ashlenamusic]

Agreed

[@blazeinfernape]

Your reaction genuinely made me so happy. So glad to see raye finally getting her flowers 🥹♥️ Grammy robbed her this year but she'll get atleast one in her next era!

[@Hannah_DoubleYou]

I saw her perform in Newcastle a few nights before this and she was incredible! She has such amazing energy and stage presence. But THIS performance......the backing singers.....the live instruments.....her VOCALS. This had EVERYTHING. And that last note??? Hello??? WOW.

[@robertg.2022]

I am so proud of her too and she deserves all her flowers

[@robertg.2022]

lol sorry this got posted three times! Bad WiFi xD

[@marisolalmenara7658]

yes that symphony album is even better. She is AMAZING!!!

[@EllieAngharad91]

I usually like more rock music but Raye was my top artist on Spotify Wrapped last year. To being trapped in an abusive record deal to smashing records as an independent artist. It's must so heart-warming to see her succeed like this. Cannot wait to see where she goes from here.

[@cloudk6569]

I’ve been listening to RAYE since the beginning, and my god, AM I PROUD OF RAYE!!! I remember listening to the EP Euphoric Sad Songs, specifically the track ‘All Dressed Up’ and I thought-damn, I love how raw her emotion is here, I’d love to hear more of *this* (which I got with Ice cream man),not just the clubbing songs (which are still good, imo) I remember sitting down and listening to My 21st Century Blues and it literally whisked me away-there’s not a song I don’t like (I especially love Environmental Anxiety-whoever that drummer is 💗) and when I watched the Brits, I literally started welling up. Record Breaker, 6 coming in after the other, it was beautiful. Her performing with Orchestras too is just perfect, she has such a good voice I genuinely haven’t heard in a bit. Can you tell I love her? 😭🥹

[@ashlenamusic]

All Dressed Up is my favorite track from that album!

[@aliciamarie4218]

I loved your reaction!! Raye is so talented it’s insane! She deserved every single award!! You could just tell some of the artists who lost were salty asf in that crowd lmfaooo!

[@ashlenamusic]

Lmao they really were!!

[@gloriapak8125]

Well deserved! She is an amazing artist.♥️🎼🌹

[@SLRNRG]

I’m so fcking proud of her 🥹 I was fighting back tears through the whole show and this set me back off. She really did that 💥

[@ashlenamusic]
