Emerging R&B singer Ray BLK should be talking too shrilly between songs, nerves overwriting her prepared bons mots.

You probably won’t lose money if you bet on her ending the year with many more fans than the several hundred who’ve squeezed into the Village Underground tonight.

Introducing the night with her song ‘BLK MADONNA’, Ray BLK received a warm welcome from her home crowd as she stepped on the stage.

With young British R&B singers conquering the world — Jorja Smith, Mabel, Ella Mai et al — Ray BLK could have been lost in the stampede. Two years after becoming the first unsigned artist to win the BBC Sound poll, the 25-year-old from Catford in southeast London is no longer the next big thing.

She commands the stage and the weight of her stage presence fills the room in a completely effortless fashion.

Exuding fearlessness and vulnerability at the same time, her sound has injected a new kind of raw honesty and emotion into the UK’s RnB scene.
