LIST PICK
RAY BLK LOVESICK
Island Records-signed singer and songwriter RAY BLK is back with her brand-new single ‘Lovesick’. On this R&B track BLK sings about proving an ex wrong and being independent. Flowing effortlessly over the jumpy production; BLK shows us why she’s such a talented artist. She explains: "It’s about taking control and reclaiming your power after being disrespected in a relationship and getting even. I’m always trying to empower women not to take disrespect sitting down but to keep a distance from people who don’t make them feel good about themselves and boss up because success is the best revenge. It’s a big theme of not just this song but my overall debut album. Even me rapping on this song was me taking back control, as a black female artist in the UK there’s a lot less support all round, including in getting features from other artists." With her last full length project Empress arriving back in 2018, it's highly likely that this could be a track from something new this singer is working on. Whether it is or not, we are just glad to have received this track, if you haven't listened to this empowering single yet you definitely should. -Shanice L
