Source-derived summary

The British singer-songwriter Raye has released two studio albums, two live albums, six extended plays (EPs), forty-one singles (including twelve as a featured artist), and thirteen promotional singles. Her first EP, Welcome to the Winter, was self-released to SoundCloud in 2014. Raye signed a recording contract with Polydor Records shortly after and released her EP Second in 2016, which was preceded by her debut single "I, U, Us". She featured on the singles "By Your Side" by Jonas Blue and "You Don't Know Me" by Jax Jones in late 2016; the latter charted at number three on the UK singles chart and within the top ten in other European countries, later receiving a diamond certification in France. In 2017, Raye was part of Artists for Grenfell's cover version of "Bridge over Troubled Water", which reached number one in the United Kingdom.

The songs "Decline" featuring Mr Eazi, and "Cigarette" with Mabel and Stefflon Don, preceded Raye's third EP, Side Tape (2018). Following a string of singles, Raye collaborated with Regard on "Secrets" in 2020; the song peaked at number six in the UK and was certified platinum in some countries. It was included on Euphoric Sad Songs, released in November of the same year. In early 2021, Raye released "Bed" with Joel Corry and David Guetta, which became her highest-peaking song as a lead artist in the UK at the time. Later that year, Raye declared that Polydor Records refused to release her debut album for seven years.

Editorial reviewA productive starting point for separating a subject’s documented career from later reputation and commemoration. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2014, 2016, 2017, 2018—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Raye, discography and Wikimedia.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Raye discography” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Raye, discography and Wikimedia provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q60750251. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2018.

Critical limits

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
