Yeaaahhhh, not sure what to think of this one yet. Raye is an amazingly talented artist. Let’s begin with that statement.

Saw her live with my kid some years ago here in Holland right about the time when she was breaking through. She brought that room to tears. I have never witnessed something like that at a concert.

This woman has the spark, fo sho!

Then she drops this. Equal parts pretentious, convoluted, silly and genius? Again, not sure yet. Some of it works, some of it just misses the mark.

You can hear that the label spent LOADS of money on this. Not much inspiration or intrinsic beauty here, tho.

So yeh, I’m on the lookout for album # 3. Cuz I know she can do it!

That’s the only hope I got from this album.
