RAYE has released a new live album, ‘Live at Montreux Jazz Festival’.
Recorded during her recent performance at the Swiss music festival, the album features seven tracks including a cover of James Brown’s ‘It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World’. The album artwork features RAYE with her Swiss grandfather, who attended the performance.
RAYE says: “Playing Montreux Jazz Festival was one of the greatest musical honours we have ever been granted. I am so enamoured and in awe of the history of all the artists who have stood on the stage we shared, a festival dedicated celebrating and providing a platform for true musicianship. I am so proud of this day we got to stand on that stage. I left the stage feeling the highest of highs.”
She continues: “Also in this moment my mum’s father, Hans, my beautiful Swiss grandfather got to see me sing for the first time. This was the most beautiful day in my memories for myself and my band. A day we will never forget and we wanted to share this moment with a beautiful vinyl for anyone who would care to listen.”
RAYE’s full Montreux Jazz Festival set will be released on YouTube on 1st October.
