Lyrically, Escapism is one of the most impactful songs I’ve heard in a while. It made me cry the first time I heard it at full length while reading the lyrics because it reminded me so much of a dark time in my life. I feel like she was really able to channel that feeling of desperation in her voice that you feel when you’re in that state. It sounds like a cry for help and I’ve never heard anything like it. Chills whenever I listen. Chills.

Her entire album gave me such Amy Winehouse and Lauryn Hill vibes and I am absolutely enthralled! The musicality is just next level; the lyrics and how she plays with words to paint such vivid imagery is seriously top-tier. I sometimes pause on tracks that seem too much to handle in terms of its visual because I get taken aback by how vulnerable she has made herself in this album. This makes "My 21st Century Blues" hard to listen to. But this also makes it such an amazing album. I can't rate it enough; it's SO GOOD!

Raye doesn't sound like Lauryn Hill, of course. Anyone who says that would be dumb. But her technique and style in singing and writing verses are within Lauryn Hill's lane.

The song is absolutely beautiful. I first heard it when I clicked on a recommended video. It happened to be the music video. The song 100% made me more suicidal than I already was at the time but oh well. It helped me feel the feelings I needed to. It's such a bombastic, fake-confident song that's ultimately really intimate and sad. Also I LOOOOVE how RAYE said what I was thinking the whole time, about the song being basically a movie in lyrical form! It really is!!! And I love it for that!!!! ♥♥♥ It truly tells a story from start to finish. It's VERY rare that a song latches onto me as hard as that. Thank you so much RAYE for making Escapism.!!!

So relatable even to us older ones. Nothing new. This is the story of many generations. Same experiences, same places, different decades. She’s a brilliant story teller. Wow!

Hearing this song on a main radio station had me screaming because she's been in my Top 5 since 2013 and she deserves every bit of this recognition ❤

I saw this on tiktok with someone saying she sounds horrible live, but i saw her on stage last week and i was shocked at how good she is. She gave me goosebumps. She has an incredible voice.
