\n\tRaye<\/a> likely brightened the days of many a commuter by performing her new song \u201cGenesis\u201d on an unconventional stage: a Selhurst train station platform.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a video posted by the British pop star Thursday, shortly before the sprawling, seven-minute track dropped, Raye looks glamorous in a polka-dot gown while singing just a couple of feet away from the tracks. She\u2019s accompanied by a dapper-looking jazz band that continues playing even when a loud train whizzes past behind them. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cGenesis will be yours at midnight,\u201d she captioned the clip.<\/p>\n

\n\tTrue to her word, the 26-year-old star dropped the track right on time Friday (June 7). It marks her first release since she made history at the 2024 Brits by breaking the record for\u00a0most wins<\/a>\u00a0and nominations for an artist in a single year \u2014 winning six prizes from her seven nods. In addition to picking up the trophies for best new artist, best R&B act, British artist of the year and songwriter of the year, she was also awarded British album of the year for her debut record\u00a0My 21st Century Blues<\/em>, which reached No. 58 on the\u00a0Billboard 200<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tPlus, Raye received song of the year for her\u00a0070 Shake<\/a>-assisted \u201cEscapism,\u201d which peaked at No. 22 on the\u00a0Billboard Hot 100<\/a> last year.<\/p>\n

\n\tFans in her comments section loved the London native\u2019s innovative performance space, as did a few famous friends. SZA wrote adoringly under the train station video, \u201cEverything about you,\u201d while Leigh-Anne Pinnock added, \u201cEpic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tRaye previously described \u201cGenesis\u201d as \u201ca 7 minute labour of love I have been working on since 2022.\u201d \u201cIt kind of hurts a bit to call this piece of music a \u2018single\u2019 because it is so much more than just a song to me,\u201d she continued in the May Instagram post<\/a>. \u201cI have chipped away at, scrutinised, replaced, redone, passionately sculpted this song.\u201d<\/p>\n
