RAYE is showing the world that she’s fierier than just a ray of sunshine.
The “escapism” singer is making headlines across the globe for calling out her record label along with other labels for mistreatment of songwriters.
In an interview recently she spoke out about a pandemic that’s hit the song writing community. The 25-year-old claims that the music industry has developed a habit of under paying their songwriters which leave the talented individuals scrapping for money.
"I have spent so much time with so many incredible songwriters with Top 10 Billboard hits and they can't pay rent. It's evil.” She continued "At the end of the day, being a musician is tough anyway, because you're putting out something to be judged, right? Being judged is always a difficult and intimidating thing for any human. But as a musician, you have to be at peace with the fact some people will hate what you do. Some people will like it. Some people will love it. But my purpose was, I have to love it. Otherwise, what's the point? And I started releasing these songs with no intention of being these big chart hits."
One thing is for certain, with the rise of the new generation of singers this are definitely going to take a positive (potentially ugly) turn in the music industry.
