Just to add a follow up. Raye was nominated for 7 BRIT music awards, and last night she won 6 of them ( a record) and reduced the audience to tears with her humility and gratitude.

[@leahwasilewska8614]

My biggest brag is that I was in the audience for this😮‍💨

[@SpunkyMike]

Me too!!! One of the best concerts I have been to in a looong time! I have been following her for the past couple of years and I am so impressed with her range regards to different types of music and even different tones. Pure quality! I love me some Raye ❤️❤️❤️

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

Omg! JEALOUS!

[@leehorrocks5253]

That must have been phenomenal!! Very envious here too.

[@dt8772]

I couldn't get tickets to that Royal Albert Hall one, I tried, but luckily saw her last night with the orchestra at the O2, amazing. Saw her 2 weeks ago at Bridlington Spa too with just her band, a more intimate venue. She is fab.

[@leahwasilewska8614]

@@SpunkyMike She was honestly so incredible and I’m so grateful to have gotten to see this particular performance🙏

[@rjs2035]

RAYE has been making music for 10+ years, and the 7 years prior to this album's release, she was stuck in an abusive record label. Basically, she would be writing for some of the biggest names in music, but when it came to her own music, she was only allowed to make dance/edm music, and often wasn't credited fairly for it. She was denied an album the entire time until she finally broke free from her label and went independent with her first ever album: My 21st Century Blues!! She has shocked the world, and there is so much more of her to see! I hope you analyze more of her performances! She is one of the best around!!

[@velvetindigonight]

Thanks for her history

[@tomwhite4736]

Just curious why best new artist , was it because she started fresh from her label split .?

[@rjs2035]

@@tomwhite4736 I searched for a bit and can't find the exact criteria that the BRITS Awards uses to select their nominees for Best New Artist. I do know that it doesn't always mean "new" as in actually being a new artist on the scene, but can also mean "new" as in having just recently had a breakthrough into the scene. For instance, the Grammy's criteria is: you must have a minimum of 5 singles or 1 complete album, or a maximum of 3 complete albums, and a maximum of 3 nominations for the category. Meaning, their total time in the spotlight has less to do with it than the amount of projects they have. Victoria Monèt won the Best New Artist Grammy, but has been making/releasing music for 10+ years. However, since she has not made more than 3 complete albums or been nominated more than 3 times, she was still able to be nominated and win. If the BRITS use a similar criteria, then it would make sense why an artist who doesn't seem "new" (like RAYE) would win. My guess is that it had more to do with her first ever complete album having a huge breakthrough than it did with her actually being new to the industry, since she isn't.

Raye explains this in her speech when she wins the new artist award ​@@tomwhite4736

[@Adaobieistyping]

her mannerisms are similar to Amy winhouse. I love when the London accent comes through. uk artists are so talented and yes raye does jazz too and loves that genre.

[@nicolaablett7790]

she is a SWISS GHANIANIN YORKSHIRE WOMAN Please

[@noplace3571]

That 18 second note with the orchestra swelling in the background makes me tear up every single time 😭

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

It is just stunning I agree!!!

[@abdoeljouti6350]

Indeed and I was kind of disappointed with the reaction to it

[@judyzagorski1]

I can't stop playing this live rendition. God Bless Her.

[@James-wj8eq]

​@@abdoeljouti6350not too blown away when you're old like i to remember seeing live the likes of Johnny Mathis who could hold notes on average a minute and more...His longest was 1 min 28secs. He had been an athlete prior so maybe he was blessed with great lung capacity

[@carolinesmith6450]

You HAVE TO check out her Brits 2024 medley from the weekend. I've never witnessed anything like it truly 🖤🎙🤯

[@Coastpsych_fi99]

It was incredible. Listening to it on repeat.

[@pigeon3245]

one thing i love about raye is that she never performs a song the same twice. every time she sings live its it's own experience and shes always adding new unique bits, makes every song so much more special and personal to her.

[@Alex-zs7gw]

💯% agree Almost like the studio version is just how she felt singing it that day. Kelly Clarkson also does this so well. Amy took it too far (probably too fucked up as time went on which is sad) I just wish she sang the bridge/middle 8 like the studio and earlier performances cuz I legit put that bit on loop

[@paulaorozco1468]

Her old label had her under contract and didn’t let her release her own music for 7 years! now she’s finally an independent artist and this debut album showcases the brilliant artist that she is! She’s waited and worked for so long, she deserves all the success and support in the world!!!!!

[@Artemisiainspain]

I hope they sack everyone at her first label ....cretins all

[@coclementine]

Along with the other suggestions here, you’d absolutely loveeee her tiny desk performance as well. Her talent is endlessss, every performance is different in an incredible way🤩

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

I have to look it up thank you!

[@meleseini113]

Yesss!!! This!

[@Hundhammer]

word, that's also one thing that strikes me about her, besides all of her other incredible qualities: she's so musical and so connected to both herself and her audience, she never delivers a song the same way twice, makes it sound new and different and exciting each and every time... You could make an entire album with just versions of one song by her, acoustic, studio production, live with band, orchestral version... and every one is unique and beautiful in its very own way... A concert from Argentina sounds different than the one in Chile... Long time since an artist got me hooked like she did a few weeks ago, can't stop listening to her...

[@fg842]

VV here: Yeesss! Saw it and it was wonderful. How lucky was that intimate little audience!

[@Natori_1999]

For Raye to only be 26 years old her voice is so fkn mind blowing Raye has been in the industry since she was 14 years old but she's just now getting recognition because her label wouldn't allow her to release music they only wanted her to write for other artists and they used her for certain things that a person shouldn't have to go through so once she left her label back in 2021 she was only 25 and now she's 26 doing what she's waited nearly a decade to do and if you haven't definitely check out her album 21st century blue's

[@KayleighMarie]

raye was my most listened to artist in 2023 and this is why. her voice is out of this world

[@cirillaf9193]

This is from her live album at the royal albert show. It's on spotify. Raye has a very interesting and tough backstory, worth it to read about and really get to know her. Raye does a bit Jazz of Escapism on the Jools Holland show. Definitly check out the thrill is gone at the mercury awards and her cover of Nina simone felling good.

[@rebemtz1]

[@GraciesMom]

A couple of things: I love this channel (and you) for covering world known talent. Here in the US we don’t get exposed enough to so much talent from other countries. And your excitement, infectious and insight, so valuable! Second: you KNOW when you hear a full symphony backing up a performer that you’re in for something special. I loved this woman!!! So talented…she hit so many genres: rap, jazz, blues with a touch of theatre and a background in gospel . And that breath control!! Wow! And so much more-I can’t wait for more reactions to her. I just had a listen to some her works-check out her at Jingleball and NPRs Tiny Desk concert. Thank you for covering her. I just read that she’s a phenom in song writing as well. Just wow!

[@TechWizz]

Listen to her Live performances because she blows the album material out of the water each time!

You should check out her Brit Awards 2024 performance, it was genuinely amazing and I think her best live show yet.

[@rjs2035]

If you want another great live performance of hers, check out The Thrill Is Gone (Later With Jools Holland)! Very funky and upbeat with some incredible vocal technique!!

[@ashleyreid1688]

She put out a live album for this whole concert on spotify, you have to listen to the whole thing it is literally a masterpiece.

[@waynemaddams3151]

British and proud, we are leading the world with our amazing singers. 🇬🇧

[@phistoroboto8419]

A great example of what she can do with something a little more jazz influenced is her cover of "Feeling good" by Nina Simone. Such a unique take on the song.

[@fionacuthbert4684]

I'm in the rabbit hole because every time it's different and a new treat to consume! I can't wait for new material!!

[@d3vrye]

To answer your question, Raye was trained as a jazz singer (as in jazz techniques). So while her songs aren’t necessarily jazz, when she sings them they all tend to have some jazzy feel to them.

[@LM-gm9yo]

her vocal technique is so delicious.. i'm obsessed 🤧

[@barrieflix]

I think the most important BRIT award was (first ever female) best songwriter. Her performance at the BRITs was astonishing - but I find it a little sad that this brilliant woman who won best artist, best songwriter, best album and best song has to self-censor her award winning lyrics in performance! But wow the b**ch does it so f***ing well!! I believe best artist this century.

[@linneamariaboe2075]

Hi Zoe, Do you have a video/lesson of how to hold a tone that long as Raye does? :)

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

Hi Linne! Basically, the only way that you can hold onto.Really long notes is to hold back the breath as long as possible. Because she is singing in a thick of chest voice quality.It's much easier to hold back the breath and you don't need A lot of breath to create the sound in the first place. First control is something I go into and one or two with my videos but I do have An entire course on breathing as part of my vocal academy if you wanted to check that out.

So many pop singers nowadays are more focused on dance than vocals, so I hope Raye gets the recognition she deserves! She's one of the only pop singers nowadays who actually has VOCALS and doesn't need crazy dance moves. Just one thing though...the belt wasn't a B5 it was a B4 LOL you keep mixing those notes

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

Hey Sandy, they are! So much dance. Ah I just double checked. I always thought it went from A - A not C- C 😅. My bad. Fuck my CV must be like who can sing that high?! 🤣🤣🤣

[@sandhyanagarajan]

@@ZoeStibiVocalCoach LOL 🤣🤣🤣I mean there are people who can belt/mix B5 (Ariana Grande, Sohyang, Amber Riley, etc. ) but not many, it is, obviously, an EXTREMELY high mixed belt

There is no such thing as a generic accent. She has a slightly more multi ethnic London accent.

[@SilentAssassin01234]

B4 not B5 lol

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

I need to rewatch to confirm, but I get them muddled up all the time. I am certain it was the B above middle C which would be B5. B4 is the one below middle C

[@SilentAssassin01234]

@@ZoeStibiVocalCoach Sorry but that isn’t correct. Middle C is C4 as it is the fourth C on a piano. So B above middle C would be B4. C5 is high tenor C and C6 is high soprano C. Raye belts a B4 here. B5 is an insane high note for a belt. Most female singers sing that note in head voice. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_(musical_note)?wprov=sfti1

[@CA-lf7jt]
