RAYE was warned to “fear” all female pop stars, leaving her with “horrible paranoia and insecurity”.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

RAYE was taught other women were competition<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old singer – who left her record label Polydor in 2021 after five years when they failed to release her debut LP, going on to score huge success with her independently-released album ‘My 21st Century Blues’ – has blasted the “lies” she was told by male music executives, who made her view other women in the charts as “competition” who were preventing her from doing well.<\/p>\n

She told the Sunday Times newspaper’s Culture magazine: \u201cWhen you\u2019re young your mind is malleable, your opinions not always your own.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a kid in this industry I had horrible paranoia and insecurity projected on to me. I was told to fear all of the women doing well at the time, like we were competition. Apparently there was only one seat at the table and I had to fight to make it mine. That was such a confusing narrative for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the ‘Escapism’ hitmaker then met fellow pop star Charli XCX<\/a> in London and the ‘Boom Clap’ singer “tore a knife” through everything she believed.<\/p>\n

\nRAYE added: \u201cShe took time out of her busy schedule to direct a music video for me. She invited me to her home in the countryside and we sang into hairbrushes in the mirror, with her giving me tips on how to perform. I remember being in the car [going] back, realising that everything I had been told by men in music was a lie.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nAlthough the BRIT Award-winning singer has seen things change for women in recent years, she thinks that is down to the attitude of the performers, not a widespread shift in the industry.<\/p>\n

\nShe said: \u201cIt is a fantastic time to be a female artist.<\/p>\n

\n“The support among women is great. Instead of being insecure about each other, we\u2019re in awe of each other. <\/p>\n

\n“What Taylor Swift has done by re-recording her albums is so inspiring. That\u2019s a ton of hard work to get her rights back. Music contracts can be brutal and they are never in favour of the creatives.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
