    Her entire album gave me such Amy Winehouse and Lauryn Hill vibes and I am absolutely enthralled! The musicality is just next level; the lyrics and how she plays with words to paint such vivid imagery is seriously top-tier. I sometimes pause on tracks that seem too much to handle in terms of its visual because I get taken aback by how vulnerable she has made herself in this album. This makes "My 21st Century Blues" hard to listen to. But this also makes it such an amazing album. I can't rate it enough; it's SO GOOD!

Raye doesn't sound like Lauryn Hill, of course. Anyone who says that would be dumb. But her technique and style in singing and writing verses are within Lauryn Hill's lane.

    Defo reminds me of Amy Winehouse. I heard it as Done decision but dumb is cool..I've had my eye on Raye for a while waiting for her to proper burst out and I feel like her time is here. I've heard about her hardships and Im happy for her to be getting the recognition she deserves

    I've been listening to her for years & her "My 21st Century Blues" album is what I was just waiting for!! It's like a diary. Her diary. I am so grateful and so proud of her...! I love her way of portraying her feelings with the music & specially her voice. Overwhelmingly powerful, IT IS MADDDD

    This brought me to tears, it does every time I hear the song, because I relate to every damn word, hits home so bad with the self destruction, substance abuse and dark feelings. I’m better now but my heart still holds a heavy place for all those nights, they haunt me man 😢

    I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! I have ARGUED with someone over that! I told them it was "DONE DECISION" and they were like "no DUMB DECISION". We watched the video and it says "DUMB DECISION" as the wording, but I knew it sounded like DONE! I feel validated and I want a cookie of some sort. THANK YOU RAYE!

    The song is absolutely beautiful. I first heard it when I clicked on a recommended video. It happened to be the music video. The song 100% made me more suicidal than I already was at the time but oh well. It helped me feel the feelings I needed to. It's such a bombastic, fake-confident song that's ultimately really intimate and sad. Also I LOOOOVE how RAYE said what I was thinking the whole time, about the song being basically a movie in lyrical form! It really is!!! And I love it for that!!!! ♥♥♥ It truly tells a story from start to finish. It's VERY rare that a song latches onto me as hard as that. Thank you so much RAYE for making Escapism.!!!

      Welp. It's been about a year and a half since I made this comment and I gotta say: I really wish I had prayed that I'd never have to relate to it. But now I do. So that's cool. The love of my life broke up with me a month ago because he's going through a mental health crisis and can't feel any love for me and wants to be alone. The man I was willing to walk on water for is gone, and I have absolutely nothing. I feel so broken and this song has yet again come back into my life to make my pain so much worse. But maybe it's supposed to.
