Review

Rayana Jay’s EP "Love Me Like" drifts effortlessly into the soul with its delicate yet bold examination of love, relationships, and self-worth. From the very first note in "If You Won’t," Rayana unapologetically establishes her value, echoing the timeless blues sentiment of knowing one's own worth. This sets a resonant tone for the entire seven-track journey released in 2019, weaving through heartfelt narratives and emotive reflection.

"Love Me Like," featuring Duckwrth, stands out as a tender long-distance love tale, capturing the ephemeral nature of romantic moments and the harsh sting of separation. Meanwhile, "Know Names" unfolds as a stirring serenade about experiencing an intense connection at first sight. As a captivating response, "That’s Alright" gives us a liberating missive on the joy of discovering love without adhering to societal bounds.

The EP's fifth track, "Do Betta," offers a poignant reminder to hold our partners accountable and value oneself, amplifying the project's depth. Whether enticed by the playful sensuality of "Breakfast in Bed" or feeling the aching poignancy of "Hangover" featuring G-Eazy and Beni Moun, listeners are transfixed by raw human vulnerability and resilience. Throughout "Love Me Like," Rayana Jay’s silky harmonies and introspective lyrics reverberate with authenticity, marking her ascent in the R&B realm and crafting an immersive experience that's difficult to forget. - Cole
