At the BRIT Awards, Raye sweeps SIX gongs to bring out one of music's greatest-ever comebacks: Barefoot actress Barefoot fights back tears as she enters history just three years after being rejected by her own label

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 2, 2024
Raye's transformation from musical obscurity to international pop star hit a new height tonight, winning six Brit awards for the first time. Rachel Agatha Keen, a London-born artist, was stunned when she tied for most gongs in a single night, and she went back to collect her awards barefoot each time. She was nominated seven times - the most for a single artist in a year - but she may not have been nominated twice for Escapism, which won the award, and Prada. The 26-year-old collected awards for best artist, new artist, R&B act, and songwriter, as well as a year's best song and album of the year at the O2 Arena in London. The songwriter's success is one of music's finest ever comebacks, coming just three years after her former record label Polydor refused to release any of her albums. Raye left the company and began presenting her critically acclaimed, and now award-winning debut, My 21st Century Blues as an independent artist.
