Raye – My 21st Century Blues
Format: Vinyl

In contant rotation at Popstore HQ - it's a team favourite. This debut studio album serves as a powerful statement of artistic independence, blending R&B, soul, and pop to explore deeply personal themes of industry struggles and self-actualisation. The record features the global chart-topping hit "Escapism.", marking a historic turning point in Raye's career as an independent creator. Raye has made music history by breaking the record for the most Brit Award wins in a single year, securing six trophies in 2024 including Album of the Year and Songwriter of the Year. Her journey from a sought-after collaborator for major global DJs to a multi-platinum solo powerhouse has redefined the possibilities for independent artists in the modern era. With a vocal range and songwriting depth that spans jazz, dance, and blues, she has cemented her position as a generational talent and a leading force in British music. She's a queen!
