!!!!!!!!

Omgggg YES.

Posted by: ML Hammer95 22nd February 2018, 12:59 PM

Should be good!

Posted by: cqmerqn 22nd February 2018, 01:00 PM

MNEK produced!

Posted by: Jack 22nd February 2018, 01:00 PM

Omg this has all the factors to be amazing. RAYE coming for her first Top 10 most likely.

Posted by: cqmerqn 22nd February 2018, 01:01 PM

Well her second if you count You Don’t Know Me

Posted by: troylovesmusic 22nd February 2018, 01:04 PM

Oh wow excited for this they should have just put Jorja Smith on the song as well as that would be pretty much all the new UK Urban/Rnb girls on one track

Posted by: cqmerqn 22nd February 2018, 01:05 PM

RAYE getting 2/3 2018 Critics Choice Award on a track with her *.*

IM SO EXCITED

Posted by: Jack 22nd February 2018, 03:15 PM

Song is called 'Cigarette'

Posted by: BridgeCow 22nd February 2018, 03:25 PM

I feel like this has potential to be amazing, can see it being huge if it delivers, hyped about MNEK on production too

Posted by: Dexton 22nd February 2018, 03:27 PM

Hype *.* Loving RAYE right now and Mabel too, Stefflon Don has proved to be very hit & miss but hopefully this will give her another hit to help sweep Ding A Ling under the carpet

Posted by: Liаm 22nd February 2018, 03:32 PM

MNEK production just hyped me up even more *.*

Posted by: cqmerqn 22nd February 2018, 05:34 PM

You can see the artwork on the OCC website

It’s great! Just RAYE but effective

Posted by: Midge 22nd February 2018, 05:37 PM

Intriguing

Posted by: jase. 22nd February 2018, 05:43 PM

MNEK on production duties has me hyped!

Posted by: Botchia 22nd February 2018, 05:57 PM

I’m shook

Those three + MNEK is song of the year potential

Posted by: cqmerqn 22nd February 2018, 06:00 PM

THIS IS AMAZING

Sounds like fine line a lil bit

Posted by: discombobulation 22nd February 2018, 06:05 PM

Posted by: cqmerqn 22nd February 2018, 06:09 PM

How did RAYE manage to get Mabel & Stefflon Don?!

With the right support I can see this easily being a top 10 hit for them.

Posted by: ML Hammer95 22nd February 2018, 06:10 PM

I imagine they're all mates and they all appeal to similar audiences.

Posted by: cqmerqn 22nd February 2018, 06:14 PM

True, just didn’t think Mabel’s label would want to overexpose her

She’ll probably have Fine Line, My Lover and now Cigarette in the top 40 next week.

Posted by: JosephSprayberry 22nd February 2018, 07:15 PM

It's not like she'd just released a song with Adele Mabel and Stefflon are very realistic features I'd say!

This is pretty decent, Decline was more instant but I think this will be more of a grower.

Posted by: lewistgreen 22nd February 2018, 07:16 PM

This is on Spotify already!

Posted by: cqmerqn 22nd February 2018, 07:17 PM

It had an official release at 6pm

Posted by: mdh 22nd February 2018, 07:22 PM

this is essentially just a clone of everything else they've put out of late. eh.

Posted by: Liаm 22nd February 2018, 07:31 PM

B O P

Posted by: ML Hammer95 22nd February 2018, 07:53 PM

I echo this. Should sound good once the weather gets warmer though.

Posted by: _jase 22nd February 2018, 08:02 PM

Eh it's just okay

Posted by: cqmerqn 22nd February 2018, 08:32 PM

Wtf it’s an iconic bop

Posted by: Botchia 22nd February 2018, 10:03 PM

What a tune!

Steff's verse >>>>>>

Posted by: ML Hammer95 22nd February 2018, 10:18 PM

A song cannot become an 'iconic bop' after a couple of hours.

Posted by: troylovesmusic 22nd February 2018, 10:58 PM

Oooh really like this they all sound great on there .

Posted by: Klumzee 22nd February 2018, 11:27 PM

This should do well! Very on trend but not too similar to anything they’ve released so far! Is it bad that I completed glossed over Stefflon Don’s verse and I had to listen again just to see if she actually featured 😂

Posted by: cqmerqn 22nd February 2018, 11:49 PM

2 hours is all it needed

Posted by: BridgeCow 22nd February 2018, 11:56 PM

This is quite a tune, but yeah nothing really new or fresh

Posted by: Bjork 23rd February 2018, 09:00 AM

at least she's not ruining any 90s track this time

Posted by: awardinary 23rd February 2018, 10:28 AM

The first confirmed song of Now 100 possibly???

Posted by: Midge 23rd February 2018, 11:11 AM

Posted by: jjake 23rd February 2018, 12:21 PM

this is very unremarkable and less the sum of its parts

generic, lazy etc

did raye’s a&r just go through a book of ‘currently a bit popular pop girls’, get them into the studio, put out a mismash, will that do song and hope people buy it?

no thanks

Posted by: _jase 23rd February 2018, 01:03 PM

Posted by: Botchia 23rd February 2018, 01:13 PM

The question is when will RAYE be able to get a hit on her own...

Posted by: cqmerqn 23rd February 2018, 06:02 PM

You can say that about many artists tho...

Mabel, Stefflon Don, Bebe Rexha etc..

Posted by: JosephSprayberry 23rd February 2018, 06:35 PM

I don't think she really needs a hit entirely "on her own". Decline was her own song, Mr Eazi was just a feature despite the misleading joint credit. I doubt he had any impact on the success of the track really. Mabel and Stefflon are in similar places (although Mabel now has two hits as a primary artist).

Posted by: cqmerqn 23rd February 2018, 07:20 PM

Yeah if she was only getting hits as features then it’d be a different story.

Posted by: cqmerqn 2nd March 2018, 06:46 PM

Debuts at 41 - great debut!!!

Posted by: Jack 3rd March 2018, 01:45 PM

I think it'll probably be a similar sized hit to 'Decline' tbh. I really like it but I feel like she has so much more to give than she has been giving.

Posted by: Liаm 3rd March 2018, 02:00 PM

Shhh remains by FAR her best song, and it kind of felt like only she could release it. That's what I want more of from her, what a song.

Posted by: cqmerqn 3rd March 2018, 02:10 PM

Shhh is definitely her best song. Still on my playlist.

Posted by: Jack 3rd March 2018, 02:41 PM

Shhh and I, U, Us are her best

Posted by: BridgeCow 3rd March 2018, 02:43 PM

Wish she’d release more stuff like Shhh and I, U, Us cus I’ve found Decline and Cigarette a bit bland in comparison

Posted by: Bjork 3rd March 2018, 03:02 PM

haha but Decline is not her song, she stole it from Ja Rule's

Posted by: cqmerqn 3rd March 2018, 03:04 PM

Posted by: Cqmerqn 11th March 2018, 11:41 AM

This isn’t doing much so she needs to release more stuff like I, U Us and Shhh

Posted by: awardinary 11th March 2018, 12:26 PM

I think Radio 1 will put this in the C List this week coming.

Posted by: Botchia 24th March 2018, 06:45 PM

Video is out! It's a bit uneventful

Posted by: mdh 24th March 2018, 06:57 PM

she needs more lively music like 'Shhh' - instead of this dancehall style stuff that's been done a hundred times before.

Posted by: Cqmerqn 24th March 2018, 07:05 PM

OMG THISSSS!!

Posted by: mdh 24th March 2018, 07:08 PM

anyone think 'The Line' should have smashed? it was SO much better than this, one of the bops of last summer

Posted by: Cqmerqn 24th March 2018, 07:14 PM

OMG THISSSS!!

Posted by: BridgeCow 24th March 2018, 07:59 PM

The Line SO should have smashed :/

Posted by: JosephSprayberry 25th March 2018, 06:20 PM

The Line was alright but lacked a bit of spark imo. Decline was much better (and is much better than this too, but I prefer this to The Line).

Posted by: Cqmerqn 25th March 2018, 06:26 PM

The Line > Decline > Cigarette

Posted by: TS0301 4th April 2018, 03:27 PM

Added to R1 playlist this week!

Posted by: Dan17F1 4th April 2018, 08:32 PM

Yay! What are the other additions to the playlist if you know?

Posted by: cqmisa 4th April 2018, 08:34 PM

New this week

Craig David - Magic
Hardio Caprio - Rapper
Sean Paul - Mad Love
Yxng Bane - Vroon
RAYE - Cigarette

Posted by: Dan17F1 4th April 2018, 09:49 PM

Thanks, very surprised Lil Dicky isn’t on that list.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 4th April 2018, 10:11 PM

That Craid David song is really good, extremely catchy. I'm disappointed Kodaline aren't playlisted yet (if they ever will be).

Posted by: Cqmerqn 4th April 2018, 10:12 PM

That’s just the C-list additions, could beB listed

Posted by: UltraReputation 4th April 2018, 10:18 PM

Where is the playlist for this week?

Posted by: Cqmerqn 4th April 2018, 10:33 PM

The C-list was the only section that leaked!

Posted by: UltraReputation 4th April 2018, 10:35 PM

Hoping delicate gets A or B listed this week!

Posted by: Tombo 5th April 2018, 05:51 AM

I'm not really that keen on this one tbh

Posted by: Bartier Cqmerqn 19th April 2018, 04:13 PM

Looks like this could be a hit after all!

Up to 52 on Spotify. I think that’s a new peak? 110k streams.

Posted by: danG 19th April 2018, 04:16 PM

It peaked at 51 back in week one. Recovering well though could go top 50 soon.

Posted by: awardinary 28th April 2018, 11:23 PM

I really thought this would be in the official Top 40 by now but it’s done nothing yet despite R1 airplay.

Any promotion would be helpful but with SLFN ending another short series after just 4 weeks it seems unlikely to come from that. I guess all three of these artists would have moved onto new projects by now anyway.

Posted by: ubɹǝɯbƆ 29th April 2018, 01:13 AM

It could still go top 40. It’s only just cracked the top 50 on Spotify!

Still a massive underperformance though
