Mandy is another name for Ecstasy/MDMA which was a popular drug for people going out clubbing.

[@joel-ho9vl]

Riiight and more commonly called Molly in USA

[@itsfaith1403]

@@joel-ho9vl not necessarily Molly I believe that’s something different it’s a bean not molly Molly is a mix of different uppers & is closer to acid or lsd where as ecstasy pills are just the one drug

Yess I’ve been waiting on this one!

[@melikoko333]

We just got here…but now yall HAVE TO listen to the live version of this album😭🫵🏽swear, it’s better than the studio version.

[@Hundhammer]

True, please do an album review for "My 21st Century Symphony" - the studio album is great already, the live puts it to the next level: Totally epic instant classic performance...

[@rosescott5443]

Yessss

[@tanayajd.667]

Ever since I discovered raye and this album came out It has been so important and one of the best albums of the fucking YEARR! So glad yall reacted to itt

[@rachaelfinlay1734]

PLEASEEEE do the live version of this album at Royal Albert Hall with The Heritage Orchestra. It's this album on CRACK. Literally downloaded the entire live album immediately, it is an experience.

[@Hundhammer]

[@Donyaih]

You Gotta check out her Oscar Winning Tears performance at the Royal Albert Hall !!! Very crucial lol

[@MainstreamMario]

I’m sooo glad yall finally reacted to this album!! 10/10 no doubt!!

[@RyanMcnll]

Mandy is slang for what u would call molly in america

[@dublin0]

Environmental Anxiety's instrumental was supposed to be super chaotic to make the listener feel anxious!

[@luvvamazing9077]

Yall have got to react to the live version of this album man. It is SOOOOOO Good!!!! it’s literally an elevated version of the studio album. PLEASE REACT TO IT I BEG 😭❤

[@Hundhammer]

Yes, after this great reaction I need their reaction to Oscar Winning Symphony, pleeeeaaaassseee!

[@KadyBaxter-jm2gs]

I have just said the same! The live album is INCREDIBLE!

[@Heyyitsalli]

It feels so good to see people appreciating Buss It Down. So many people who've reacted have read the title at face value and thought it was a random slow song with a weird title about twerking and grinding rather than understanding that as a finale song, she's finally at a point where she's saying "the person I end up with is going to love me for who I am, flaws and all, so when that happens, imma buss it down for them and only them ("I'm just trying to prioritize who I grind for..."). Whenever I listen to it, I think of it as a sequel to Body Dysmorphia where she's finally found someone who loves the things she hated about herself and has finally found a happy ending (or at least is content with the fact that she will have one even if she hasn't found it yet). You guys have the best reactions because you actually read the lyrics as you listen to the songs and try to interpret them. That's amazing!

[@floraolivier7720]

This is interesting because i'm not a native speaker so when I listen to songs the first thing i get is the production . So when i finally get to buss it down when I first listened to the album I felt it like a redemption song. Then i checked out the lyrics I laughed, and I found this song very provocative as if Raye wanted to tell us after everything i went through, go f*** yourself until I find the good one ! 😅 This my time now!

[@satiaprincess]

I love that you guys are reacting to RAYE!!!!

[@sasha8809]

@1:00:18 seeing yall absolutely spasm, like you were being electrocuted, during buss it down had me in TEARS. amazing reaction thank you😭😭🙏

[@rochelle1199]

This is the best reaction I’ve seen to this album

[@areswilliams]

Still mad this song wasn’t nominated for the Grammy’s this is black excellence

[@reyolfx]

Finallyyyyyyy!! Yes please react to the live album, the songs all sound different and her voice live is absolutely mind blowing

Yeah, her Tiny Desk next, please!

you guys have reserved seats in heaven for this reaction 😖🙏🏾

[@paballomalema1891]

The wait is finally over🎉🎉

[@rochelle1199]

I lovely the irony of Black Mascara. This is the style of music the label had her constantly making and wouldn’t let her branch out

[@TfL1901]

But strangely its its better than any of those... it became a slow burn for me, I didn't love it at first, now i love it

[@mariathompson98]

I love Raye and it’s so exciting to see more people reacting to her / discovering her

[@dublin0]

"Mandy" is a UK slang term for MDMA, also known as ecstasy or XTC.

[@rochelle1199]

Your reactions to Buss it down had me CRYING 😂

[@someayainthisworld8525]

FINALLYYY!!!! BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

[@MimiLingo]

Oh you two had me creasing up. Laughed so hard at some of your reactions. The love version is even better if you can believe it. Saw her live at the O2 in London with orchestra and choir. It was epic.

[@LAT-lk1en]

YESSS ITS FINALLY HEREEEE!!! Time for them to hear the best song ever created ( Worth it )

[@aminsamadi3991]

Never clicked on a notification so fast

[@areswilliams]

Also you correct about ice cream man she’s talking about how a producer “assaulted” her and it wasn’t her first experience

[@marktodd7397]

Great reaction guys, you knew when to be quiet and when to let it flow whilst actually reacting and being entertaining and funny. Definitely the Best album I've heard in years production is phenomenal.

[@theemya]

Watching this after hurricane Milton without any power and barley mobile data lol lifted my mood. Also 20% less on the phone but worth it

[@yoongisrose6968]

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE

[@yoongisrose6968]

So mandy is "molly/ escasy" all of these names in Mary Jane are drugs " Mary Jane being marijuana dont know what type of drug codeine is. The beginning of ice cream man also reminds me of the beeping sound they use in recording studios for timing

[@MP-1218]

Mandy is the uk version of Molly loved y’all analogy tho 😂

[@shinicejones1817]

I bet your Raye’s ex lable won’t make the mistake again (probably can’t even sleep at night seeing her now😭) they were indeed sleeping on a one of a kind diamond

[@MRSBTJ]

I’ve seen her in concert in ATL. She was amazing 😭

[@garrycollier9795]

Thank you sooo much one of the best reaction videos 😊❤

[@KadyBaxter-jm2gs]

You HAVE to react to the Oscar winning tears performance at the royal Albert hall. It is beyond amazing. Seeing your reaction to the album version you will not be disappointed!! There is a live version of her Album 21st century blues, she performed the whole thing at the royal Albert hall. So glad you reacted to this. Rayes album is just next level.

[@MP-1218]

Yall have to do her to tiny desk omgg

[@rosescott5443]

Been waiting for this reaction you guys should definitely react to her live performance of Oscar winning tears and The thrill is Gone she’s incredible 🤎

[@matthewwade9118]

Love that you guys legit love music, regardless of gender & go up for the ladies just as much (or more) as the guys! 👏🏽🙌🏽😆

[@Eze-j3p]

Reaction Reminders Flo milli tiny desk Chloe album Camila cabello cxoxo deluxe(my top vote) Muni long album Tanner adell buckle bunny reaction Josh levi Jae stephens( song recs for the people girls don't cheat produced by timbaland btw) Amelia moore(back to him also produced by timbaland) Btw there's this new artist tyler lewis who's looking like she's gonna have a rise to fame soon similar to flo and cardboard box she even works with the same producer mnek you should react to her live performances cause you'd be ahead of the curve and the vocals are BUTTER😅

[@Catuality]

i leave youtube for a month and come back and you reacted to all of raye, omg, imma get my popcorn, front seat

[@jos4879]

the dark stains under her eyes are from her black mascara 22:10

[@rz2pp]

Tyla just dropped her deluxe (three new song)🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@krystianszumski3147]

finalllly you woke up

[@itsfaith1403]

So for context about Black Mascara it’s about a man she trusted who slipped something into her drink that got her addicted… that leads to when she said I forgot which song but she said stains under my eyes (Mascara is black & when you cry it leaves stains)… hard out here mentioned drugged drinks which she explains in Black Mascara… the repetition of you’re done to me on a house beat paints a picture of her being high on whatever was slipped into her drink causing her to be in a trance & it also will never leave her head because she was drugged that’s why she’s trying to get him to understand she trusted him & now you betrayed me in a club so I wouldn’t be aware of what you were doing but after she sobered up she realized what happened now she’s running to her mom’s arms to get away from him… definitely should do the video it will explain it better than I did in a visual way & that video is connected to the Escapism video in Escapism you see her running away from someone crying at the beginning of the video with Mascara running down her face

[@AmeerahMuhammad]

Mandy is what they call Ecstasy in the UK lol. Its not a person

[@itsfaith1403]

Now you have to do the live version of the album 🔥🔥🔥 take the studio version & multiply it by 100 & that’s what the live version is 💕💕💕 I absolutely adore this album it’s hard to listen to Ice Cream Man for me tho because I relate so much to it because I went thru it & am still going thru it but it’s still a bop I have to say my favorite is Buss it Down tho 🔥🔥🔥 closely followed by Worth it & Oscar Winning Tears but there’s no skips for me I’m so glad you enjoyed it I knew you would

[@96Cid]

My favorite is Worth It. The Thrill is Gone, Hard Out Here & Buss It Down.

[@Certainlynottimmy]

We asked and they delivered 🙏🏾

[@Scorpy1106]

What an album. Some of the subject matters are heavy, so the beat kind of balance it out. I really enjoyed this album, and I root for her heavily. The industry is sick, and so is society. Songs like Ice Cream Man & Environmental Anxiety are strong messages that needs attention and addressing. I wish her God protection, strength, healing and blessing.

[@melikoko333]

FINALLYYYY🙌🏽😭

[@dublin0]

"dark stains under my eyes" is her black mascara running when she cries

[@askboutkriptic]

i realized Yall did dangerously in love by Beyoncé so i feel like yall should do dangerously in love by ynw melly people forgot about melly he was talented asf

[@lukaslippens3949]

I screamed when I saw the thumbnail. FINALLY.

[@madeleinecodd4490]

Mandy is Molly, we call it Mandy in the UK

[@mudaawi]

31:52 idk if anyone notice that but when she says “round and round in my head” you can hear the music moving from the left headphone to the right , i think its called “panning” i liked that detail

[@Ali-ky3qm]

Please do the live version too

[@NeiNeii676]

The way he jumped for that pause button 😂

[@Selandertx]

12:27 yall would love the music video for black mascara!!

[@96Cid]

Like yall noticed, Raye is a STORYTELLER. She’s paints the picture with her words.

[@Itsisss]

23:11 😂😂😂😂yall so funny for this😂😂😂😂😂 PS:idk if yall can hear it but at 31:53 if u are wearing headphones the audio feels like it's going around ur head when she sings "round amd round my head"

[@payalshah7243]

If you really wanna dive into who RAYE is, the live version of this album that she performed at Royal Albert Hall is absolutely bonkers level good. I'd love to watch you guys get into it, music videos for some of the songs have been uploaded to KZbin!
