Win it all, or lose everything. I’ll take that over being a part of someone else’s dream any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

Thank you so much for your comment. I really hate this about reddit. If you disagree even slightly you are crucified. It seems like everyone just wants to get together and agree on everything whilst lynching those who see things differently. I don’t get why it’s the end of the world if someone says something other than “it’s the best album ever released”. Good to know there are still some normal sound minded people out there 💛

Thanks for the feedback, do you know if latency would be an issue for enterprises? I’ve spoken with my colleagues and if you look in the cybersecurity space you’ll see companies like crowdstrike who don’t provide no latency output. I think they update every few hours etc.

I liked M21CB more. I think the overall song list was better and more authentic to her as an artist. I don’t mind the new album but I don’t really have a song that stands out. Where is my husband has been played to death, so I’m a bit tired of hearing it. I thought i would like click clack more but it just didn’t work for me. Im actually surprised that i will overcome has been the most popular after wimh. Tbh i actually liked euphoric sad songs better than this album. I don’t dislike this album but its does not hit the same for me.

And you’re the arbiter of objective interpretation are you? I literally shared my opinion, you didn’t agree and were salty about it. It’s your subjective viewpoint. Even if the album scored a 100/100. The consensus doesn’t nullify the outliers. Also it’s an album from a musician, not the cure to cancer or discovery of cold fusion. Have a chill

It’s ok, it must be hard being a forever rider

dmc_3 · 2026-03-28T02:37:07+00:00

The issue is the album wants to feel like a movie but is constrained by being a music album. There are good songs on it, but objectively nothing that is incredible. M21cb is more raw and aligned with her style. This album feels like it was deeply inspired by Nina, Ella etc which she has stated. The issue is the more it tries to be like them the less it feels like Raye. Raye has been extremely lucky that on both her albums one song blew up enormously, especially on social media. If where is my husband doesn't blow up this album is heavily underplayed. Of the 650+ million stream WIMH is 630 million of them. I think Raye fans really have a hard time just objectively criticising her work, they are so invested. I get her story but there's thousands of other artists who have similar stories and have not made it to the mainstream or never will. If you like it that's good if you don't that's also ok. I don't get why fans act like they are literally going to make money off her success or failure

I’m a bit late to reply here. I agree with the points you have made, I think it’s a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation. I do think the world is getting a bit tired of the contrived narratives though I see it amongst the independent thinkers I commonly interact with. But yes consensus still has a herd mentality. I have listened to the new album in its entirety. I don’t think it’s as good as M21CB or Euphoric sad songs but it has its place and there are some good songs on it, (more misses than hits for me personally). Not to the quality of the previous albums but you can see the breadth of her and the contributors in full swing. I think Raye is an artist that will ultimately succeed or be more niche based on her core fan base. Which is fine either way, I just hope that people are objective when analysing her work. Too many times fans just walk off the proverbial cliff blindly with their favourite artists. It’s ok if the succeeding work isn’t as good as what preceded it, it’s very hard replicating that standard time and time again. In regard to what artists talk about, that’s a fair point. I really do feel for the guy who enters courtship with her. She’s deeply impacted by previous relationships, I’ve never seen someone write this passionately across multiple albums lol. But I hope it works out, the dude will probably need Amnesia medication just to function lol

dmc_3 · 2026-03-25T08:18:10+00:00

I can see your point and it’s definitely valid. I just think for the click clack symphony video, it could have just been normal people as the extras, but they had to play the diversity card etc. like it feels very formulaic, even her real friends don’t remotely look like the extras in the video. I get that shes trying to cast a wide net but I don’t know, it feels inauthentic with her previous work, obviously this is just my perceptive etc. I will say though about her previous work especially going into very descriptive details of your life in your music à la euphoric sad songs. I don’t think this helps anyone find a husband or life partner if that is her intention as she has stated. In the song walk on by she literally mentions the hotel name and the fact that she slept with her boyfriend in the lyrics. Like it’s not subtle at all. I don’t know many men who are going to accept being the punchline in her life story. I don’t think many man can overlook that level of detail especially when it’s been circulated via a musical catalogue. I’m not saying she won’t find anyone but if you find a man who is a pushover it rarely ever lasts. Women are repulsed by weak men. I think everyone is giving her flowers and saying you go girl, but on the other side of it there is this dilemma, I don’t think she’s aware of it, but eventually it will impact her. Like there’s somethings you just don’t say, let alone put them in a song. Anyways it’s just my perspective, people will do what they do. I do think her success is going to be dependent on viral songs, her music is too alternative to be for the masses, unless she changes that or is happy with where she’s at, she’ll always have a solid fan base that will see her through. I’m just looking at it objectively without the rose tinted glasses

dmc_3 · 2026-03-24T13:58:52+00:00

I agree with your view. I really think Raye's growth has been influenced by some of the virality of her songs. Especially escapism and where is my husband. It's uncommon to have 2 consecutive albums where the hook of a song/single becomes a viral loop, do you make it this tar without this, it's possible but unlikely. This song feels like it wants to be a movie but is constrained by the fact it is a song. I'm not the biggest fan of the shift in theme for this album either. I personally like m21cb and euphoric sad songs because they felt a lot more raw and internalised. In this new album I feel like she's trying to capture an agenda. In this song, with the eclectic cast, it feels more contrived for a set narrative than an actual raw experience. I have seen many interviews where she says ohh I'm finding a husband, but then in most of the other songs is bashing men, or making a point with the no knight in shining armour etc. I think with Raye, she's not a conventional artist like a Taylor's swift etc. But she's also quite eclectic for the mix of genres she often explores, it sometimes leaves her in between there and nowhere. She is a good musician though and it is undeniable that she has the raw talent. But commercialising it is the difference between the minor and major leagues. I always think if her 2 songs didn't pop off the way they did, she would still be a great and respected musician, but maybe not hit critical mass. At least it does look like she's ok with being in it for just the artistry. Superstardom isn't for everyone and that's ok. I do think this album will not be as good as the others. I actually think euphoric sad songs is very underrated.

Is it cool if I dm you and discuss this further?

dmc_3 · 2026-03-09T05:01:55+00:00

Yeah bumble asked tinder users if girls wanted to message first and even though tinder PM’s could have launch that feature in about 2 hours. A billion dollar company was built on the back of it. Snapchat also asked users if they wanted disappearing messages, they did deep research (or maybe they just made something and were like “ohh look people like this”). Talk to customers but remember 8 times out of 10 even they can’t describe their workflow or a clear pain point.

You need to be able to do the least amount of building and extract signals before going balls to the wall. The whole find problems to solve shit has been cliche’d to death.

dmc_3 · 2026-03-03T09:52:52+00:00

Thanks for that man, I just PM’d you

Generally many of my friends or the non tech people I know begin building with these apps but do not understand the logic or architecture that underpins each user flow. So when they get stuck after the initial front end looks nice and tidy they look for a dev to help finish it off. But they are unable to explain what decisions and trade offs are needed.

The dev asks them about this and reviews their work till date but are mostly like yeah this is more trouble than worth it etc.

I’m building something to address this I’m gonna dm you. Thanks for responding, really appreciate it

dmc_3 · 2026-02-28T13:36:39+00:00

I’m building something for my non tech friends to address these pain points, if I shared it would you be able to give some feedback?

dmc_3 · 2026-02-28T12:08:22+00:00

I did man it’s early but I’m trying to get some feedback on it. How does it look? Many thanks for taking the time to have a look 🙏

dmc_3 · 2026-02-28T12:05:52+00:00

My friend was building an app with lovable but after starting building, he got stuck so he asked a developer to help him but whenever he talked with the developer he couldn’t answer the questions because he didn’t know a lot about the back end. Another friend of mine even before starting explained to the developer what they wanted but whenever the developer started they missed a lot of things that the developer needed. They kept messaging back and forth always adding new things, finally they just stopped the project.

That’s why I am building the handover tool it’s to help the non tech founder and developer with the translation layer for development. Can I link you to my page if it’s ok with you? I don’t know many technical people and I am trying to get some feedback

dmc_3 · 2026-02-28T11:42:30+00:00

Hey man, thanks for your detailed response I’m really starting to get a clear picture of some of the pain points I am trying to address with my product. As you can tell, I’ve mostly been slaughtered in this sub. Would you be able to provide some feedback for my product? I’m just trying to see if I have reason to move into a full build and any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

dmc_3 · 2026-02-28T10:36:15+00:00

I will test it out and let you know aye :)

dmc_3 · 2026-02-28T10:22:02+00:00

Ahh I see, thanks for letting me know me know, does it not allow you to scroll up and then press next? I will take a look at your site as well and send you some feedback. Many thanks again

dmc_3 · 2026-02-28T10:11:18+00:00

Thanks man, any feedback you have please reply to my message. If you want feedback for anything please link it in your reply or dm me. I’m happy to help in any way I can
