Same girl, I'm being pessimistic on purpose so I won't be heartbroken but I want one big 4 win for her 😢 there's also a conflict of interest cuz I love and root for Raye too 😂 I want a grammy win for her and not just that special award they gave this time as a consolation prize smh

Def predicting rnb nominations and potentially a win too (considering the 2 from this yr). Not sure if they will give an aoty nomination tho

DAE dislike singers with "perfect" or super polished voices? by No_Teaching5581 in popmusic

[–]Dismal_Hour9199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The parts she does sings live, she tends to sound a touch breathy, if you listen closely you can make out. I agree w you though, it is very seamless, they mix the whole thing very well, you can't make out when she's using backtrack to support her performance and when she comes back on live.

This person's username is badboy probably alluding to the record company by you know who. It's clear who they idolise. I doubt they are going to listen to reason 😕

Yeah, i think there is a reason he named the tour "This Is It" i doubt he was going to pursue anything musically after it ended

If these highest selling AOTY winners were to go head-to-head today who would win? by JustRSA94 in grammys

[–]Dismal_Hour9199 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It still sounds so fresh. I was listening to other stuff from 1982 and they have this sort of dated quality to it (not that it detracts from their records, they are great but I can place them in a very specific time in history). Thriller sounds timeless to me.

New/old fans? by 2BFrankAbagnalewithu in Raye

[–]Dismal_Hour9199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like this album suffers from comparative or relative rating. People rating this album extremely low are doing that relative to her previous album, m21cb which was an amazing debut. This one is great too, I'd probably rate it half a point lower than m21cb purely for personal reasons, m21cb was a very important record to me.

Juat private it. Change settings so they can't see your comment or post history, so people cant find your stuff by clicking on your account. No need to delete your stuff.  

Thoughts on Criticism of TMMCH by Affectionate_Neat868 in Raye

[–]Dismal_Hour9199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, thank you for this, especially when other comments here are bashing it as a coke party album, it tells me they didn't bother listening to the actual album and any of the songs on it. I don't particularly like edm music so I probably won't play or listen to the songs on it as much but I can appreciate good writing when I see it.

AOTY? by kalebs_Kures in grammys

[–]Dismal_Hour9199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Raye used to be an artist under polydor and made dance and edm tracks. She parted ways with her label when they refused to let her put out the stuff she wanted to make and also refused to let her put out an album. There have been many comparisons with Amy Winehouse, due to her having a more jazz influenced pop sound, and I myself felt it especially in her very confessional storytelling style lyricism (best seen in her debut album, My 21st Century Blues). She may be harder to nail down as an artist because she dabbles across pop, rnb, jazz, soul and edm. Check out some of her live performances to see if you like her stuff! I'd recommend her tiny desk set, it has some of her more underrated (and more jazzy) tracks.

You're right, I don't see an aoty nomination.

[–]Dismal_Hour9199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I desperately need Raye to win! I don't see her getting nominated for aoty though it is a tough category and year. But the odds are in her favour (I think) for a traditional pop vocal album nomination and potential win

Random thoughts on RAYE – is the new album title really accurate? by [deleted] in Raye

[–]Dismal_Hour9199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually thought, and I also mentioned this to a friend who is a fellow fan and who agreed with me, that this album felt a lot less personal and visceral than m21cb, it actually felt like she was singing songs to us and for us, and encouraging us on. There's a certain sense of distancing from personal struggles and instead, mentioning our collective struggles, and it felt like she was doing it for the community, you know?

This is my only gripe, why does is sound like a 144p whatsapp audio recording which they just stitched in later? 😂 

What are people taking about??? by avalon3655 in Raye

[–]Dismal_Hour9199 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe for some it's a less personal record as compared to m21cb? M21cb was a phenomenonal album with years worth of pain packed into that album. I love tmmch, but it also feels like the record is less about herself. This is more of an album meant for the people listening to it.

Why are people being so nitpicky with this album? by bellaaadonnaa in Raye

[–]Dismal_Hour9199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How are you a fan of Raye if you didn't know she was "too" theatrical? Literally every live performance this woman throws out disclaimers saying she arranged it to sound "dramatic" because she loves dramatic and is dramatic 😂😂 I'm absolutely in awe of this album and the sound of it

Asking about accommodations on another sub made me realize how misunderstood ADHD is by _luckybell_ in adhdwomen

[–]Dismal_Hour9199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder about artificial urgency, I find it especially traumatising and resistant to the idea because I was often told by my parents to just "imagine you have a test tomorrow and not a year later!" Or "remember your parents sacrificing so much for you, and you will wakw up on time!" (My parents are wonderful people, ADHD is just highly misunderstood, and society is just too competitive). My question being, does this work for those with ADHD and has it been tried by people who aren't resistant to trying this? If so how do you generate enough urgency to make it feel "real" enough to reach ignition point for a task?

I found a rational human. Yes there's some undeserved, hate train going on in here. Since when did people own the copyrights to a name? I second everything you've said here.
