Raye Talks Stanning Chris and Kem from Love Island and Her Friendship with Stormzy
We caught up with the 'You Don't Know Me' singer at V Festival...
RAYE is unstoppable right now. Her Jonas Blue feature 'By Your Side' went gold and her Jax Jones collaboration 'You Don't Know Me' has gone platinum. If that's not enough she's also making waves with her own songs. 'The Line' is a total bop.
We caught up with RAYE at V Festival to find out more about her music, Love Island and her friendship with Stormzy.
Like all night, all night
We don't wanna go home so we'll take it outside
Yeah, outside, outside
This tick by the door like a broomstick
With a clipboard tryna be uptight
Over capacity, rubbin' us wrong
But my girl better put her up right
And we're all a bit fed up
Half of us halfway wasted
In the queue gettin' right up
In the queue gettin'
Oh yeah, we look like sickness
Barely movin' inches
Let's leave this line, your club will close
We'll run you outta business
What I do, what I do
That's what I do
We been waiting in line to get into this club
Like all night, all night
We don't wanna go home so we'll take it outside
Yeah, outside, outside
We been waiting in line to get into this club
Like all night, all night
We don't wanna go home so we'll take it outside
Yeah, outside, outside
1AM and it's freezin'
Silly, all us girls got our legs out
None of us are havin' this, the queue ain't moved
So the heels are comin' off right now
I think we're done bein' patient
So nobody can tell us all to pipe down
We're offline, cheap wine does that to your madness
Outside your club now
Yeah, we look like sickness
Barely movin' inches
Let's leave this line, your club will close
We'll run you outta business
What I do, what I do
That's what I do
We been waiting in line to get into this club
Like all night, all night
We don't wanna go home so we'll take it outside
Yeah, outside, outside
We been waiting in line to get into this club
Like all night, all night
We don't wanna go home so we'll take it outside
Yeah, outside, outside
We spent enough time waiting today
Front of the line, line, still got no entry
We been waiting in line to get into this club
Now fuck that, haha
We been waiting in line to get into this club
Like all night, all night
We don't wanna go home so we'll take it outside
Yeah, outside, outside
Yeah, we look like sickness
Barely movin' inches
Let's leave this line, your club will close
We'll run you outta business
What I do, what I do
That's what I do
On the inspiration behind 'The Line' RAYE was pretty clear that it came from personal exeprience.
"It was my best friend's birthday maybe two years ago and I remember getting all dressed up, favourite shoes, favourite outfit, so excited. We waited in the queue for like an hour and a half. They didn't let us in." revealed RAYE. Oh no! What a shame.
She then added: "I hate queuing." And boy do we sympathise!
Luckily for us she turned her bad going out experience into an incredible single.
RAYE then talked about getting the chance to perform at MTV Malta: "That was amazing. It was 50,000 people and I got to do my own set." and about hoping to meet her Love Island favourites at V: "Chris and Kem from Love Island. Where are you?"
We hope that she managed to find them.
