RAYE - Escapism. (Live at Metropolis Studios)

[@The_Rainbow_Kiwi]

Her effortless transition from rap to melody, then belting and classical technique. Damn she is the real deal. What an incredible talent.

She has always had talent although she’s certainly evolved into a beautiful artist she definitely deserves so much more recognition. I can’t wait for more of her🖤

[@rjs2035]

@@CupOfTeaX I found her in 2017 because of her and Jax Jones’s “You Don’t Know Me,” and I fell in love with her voice. Seeing how much she has grown is incredible, because she has been so good for such a long time, and now she somehow found a way to get even better ❤️‍🔥

[@zhazirakairatova3138]

Can I have lyrics Plz 😊

Stunning live performance. In some ways this version is better than the album's. The true strength comes out when she sings in the moment. Beautiful moving masterpiece.

[@achenarmyst2884]

Live ???

[@NabilaHudson]

Some Amy Winehouse's vibes, she kills it

[@prexytheartist]

This is like the more painful version of the song like at the end of the tunnel, waiting for a "stop." The adlibs and different vocals are so good in this version
