Music Xclusive Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 @BlackoutZone, do you know the 3 draft tracklists that were scrapped before the release of m21cb? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Born Again, California Dreamin, Fantastic, C'est La Vie all among her best songs ever and deserved an official release tbh. I just know she's sitting on multiple pop perfection gems we'll never get to hear lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexaalto Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 don't annihilate me, I know it ain't perfect but I made an album cover in the vein of Euphoric Sad Songs using the artwork the tracks had as a base. kind of a continuation to ESS, like a part 2. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genesis feels like she's doubling down on the M21CB sound if anything. Could see her trying to pitch Fantastic to other artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but I wonder if the success of Escapism and the album as a whole doing well critically and commercially might have her pivot even further away from chasing radio/streaming hits?

Could see her trying to pitch Fantastic to other artists. yeah from my understandings she's actually pitching most of these shelved album tracks to other artists which is unfortunate for an early fan like me but what can you do. That being said, Raye will always and forever be a top-line goddess and it's like actually incredible how talented she is at crafting a catchy melodic EDM/pop tune. I hope she finds herself back to the genre in her own terms in the future. Also would not mind her going back into R&B as another **** you to the industry who said it wasn't profitable and that she needed to make the switch to Dance tracks anyway lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, we're never getting another DJ-lite electro record for sure but I feel like she likes herself a salad of genres when it comes to her project so there'll always be little dance jams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better pitched and released by others than forever shelved away in a hard drive. Rita did alright with Receive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I don't really see anyone nailing the bridge of Born Again or singing the hook of C'est La Vie besides Raye for example, she just has that attitude idk.

alexaalto Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 hopefully her next record would be rnb if not dance or pop, the jazzy/buss it down/mary jane/worth it/oscar winning tears type of stuff doesn't really spark my interest but I'm hoping for the best since her released/unreleased track record has been pretty awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
