Raye – Where Is My Husband!
Polydor Records must be at its wit’s end. Signing a talented artist like Raye, trying to force her into the wrong musical mold (clubby dance music) and subsequently having to let her go, only to see her become the star she was always meant to be. That way, both parties got what they deserved: empty hands for the label and huge success for the artist.
Raye’s high-profile departure from Polydor Records earned her the respect of other artists and music lovers alike. But the hits are a result of her talent and determination. She’s got the songs, the voice and the ability to put on a great live performance. She played many festivals last summer, where she already played her new single Where Is My Husband! (with an exclamation point, that’s right). Click here for a stunning live rendition at Lowlands, for instance.
Today, Raye released the studio version, and it’s as great as the live performances. It’s a surging blend of R&B old (blasting horns) and new (her bustling rhythms rooted in hip hop). If you like Christina Aguilera’s Ain’t No Other Man or Crazy In Love by Beyoncé, you’ll love this one.
This week, Raye claims the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. So if you’re looking for her husband, he’s prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.
