Raye came into this year’s BRIT Awards as a clear front-runner but still managed to exceed our wildest expectations. “Escapism” singer left The O2 Arena in London with six BRIT Awards on Saturday night, the most awards won by any artist in a single year.
Raye made BRIT Awards history long before the ceremony finally rolled around – she came into the night with seven nods, most nominations scored by a single act in a year. She managed to triumph in six out of seven categories, only leaving the best pop act award to Dua Lipa.
Raye made quite a splash with her long-awaited debut album My 21st Century Blues, which was named the British album of the year. It prevailed against The Ballad of Darren by Blur, Beautiful and Brutal Yard by J Hus, No Thank You by Little Simz, and Heavy Heavy by Young Fathers to win this prize.
Raye was also named the British artist of the year and collected the award for the song of the year with her smash hit “Escapism” ft. 070 Shake. She also won trophies for the best R&B act, best new artist, and songwriter of the year.
Clara Amfo, Maya Jama, and Roman Kemp co-hosted the 2024 BRIT Awards, which took place on March 2 at The O2 Arena in London.
