The Roast
“RAYE passou anos a lutar com a editora por liberdade criativa e finalmente conseguiu. O resultado? Um album que e 80% genio e 20% 'provavelmente devia ter deixado alguem editar isto.'”

The Bright Side
Pontuacao Metacritic de 90. Uma colaboracao com Hans Zimmer. Um single numero um no Reino Unido.
Hardest Sneer
“17 faixas. Dezassete. Numa era em que os albuns estao a ficar mais curtos, RAYE olhou para a economia do streaming e disse 'absolutamente nao.'”

Issues (3)
17-track runtime
Receipt
Over an hour of music. Some songs feel like they exist because RAYE could, not because she should.
Fix
An album this ambitious deserves an editor who is not afraid of the artist. Cut three tracks and this is a 9.
Chapter structure inconsistency
Receipt
The four-chapter concept works beautifully for three chapters and then loses steam in the final stretch.
Fix
Either commit fully to the concept or let the songs speak without the framework.
Hans Zimmer feature
Receipt
Click Clack Symphony featuring Hans Zimmer sounds exactly as extra as that collaboration implies.
Fix
Sometimes restraint is the flex. This was not one of those times, and somehow it still works.
