The saying goes “Patience is bitter, but it’s fruit is sweet;” and Ray BLK proves this is true. Her latest single “Patience (freestyle)” has that, lazy Sunday pyjama day feel to it. It’s as if she is telling us a story, as she explores the age old “get rich or die trying” culture that is prevalent amongst millennials. Ray BLK stresses the importance of not sacrificing quality in a bid for a quick win and how “slow and steady wins the race” and if her BBC Sound of 2017 award is anything to go by, maybe we should take some notes. The track is an easy listen with a catchy hook and I’ve had it on repeat the past couple of days. It really showcases the singer-songwriters soulful vigour, something that is so rare in the current day. This year is set to be a big year for singer, so I suggest you keep your eyes and ears peeled!
