Genesis is more than just a new single from Raye; it is a testament to her artistic growth and personal resilience. The songโs emotional depth and thematic richness, combined with the unique launch at a train station in Croydon, make it a standout release.

RAYE cements herself as a visionary amongst the mainstream, something we could all see within her debut, but something she hasn’t confirmed until now.
From Hip-Hop, to Pop Rap, to a full blown Gospel/Jazz banquet ending, RAYE tackles current societal pressures, as well as gender expectations in a 7 minute EPIC.

Absolutely blown away... I don't even care really if this is gonna be a big hit. It should be. But it is for the ARTS, not the charts.
RAYE has continually proven herself to be one of the most fascinating pop artists active in the scene right now. If you were not convinced just yet, “Genesis.” might be the song to persuade you.

This song is so phenomenal and I’m so mad it isn’t on and album.

just a fucking MASTERPIECE dude! like this song, even though its kinda long, its been on repeat for the last few weeks. absolutely genius. and the music video perfectly goes with the song, like they go hand in hand. Incredible.

is there any good reason why this isn't listed as an ep on here when it is on literally every streaming service?

Still kinda unsure about the production on the jazz section at the end, but the rest of this song absolutely holds up. One of the best of this year for sure.
