Tell Me Lyrics

Close to perfect, close to perfect
I can't argue that you're close to perfect and almost worth it, so I'll argue back
You're pretty dreaming, big achiever, and you always back up what they say, but you can't do, you always bring it back.
They all tell me that you can let me down, no no
They don't know the way I know you, no no, they don't know
You kill everything you touch, but in that good way, oh
You don't wanna but you never need to let them know.

Now that's what i love about you, love about you, love about you,
And there is nothing that i don't love about you, love about you
So tell me what you love about me, yeah
Tell me what you love about me, yeah
Tell me what you love about me, yeah.

Tunnel vision, focused on it, oh you've always been
On your mission, first position and I always seem to be surprised
And taken back, by the fact, that you work so hard
Carry all this weight on your back.
They all tell me that you can let me down, no no
They don't know the way I know you, no no, they don't know
You kill everything you touch but in that good way, oh
You don't wanna but you never need to let them know.

Now that's what i love about you, love about you, love about you,
And there is nothing that i don't love about you, love about you
So tell me what you love about me, yeah
Tell me what you love about me, yeah
Tell me what you love about me, yeah.

Recognition, a flawless precision
Handmade, handcrafted, all made for me
And I, I can never need anything more
I don't need anything more.

Now that's what i love about you, love about you, love about you,
And there is nothing that i don't love about you, love about you
So tell me what you love about me, yeah
Tell me what you love about me, yeah
Tell me what you love about me, yeah.

Tell me ya, tell me, tell me, tell me ya
So tell me what you love about me,
Tell me ya, tell me, tell me, tell me ya
So tell me what you love about me,
Tell me ya, tell me, tell me, tell me ya
So tell me what you love about me,
Tell me ya, tell me, tell me, tell me ya
So tell me what you love about me,
Tell me ya, tell me, tell me, tell me ya
So tell me what you love about me,
Tell me ya, tell me, tell me, tell me ya
Tell me ya, tell me, tell me, tell me ya .

Hailing from South London, more specifically Croydon, RAYE (real name - Rachel Keen) was brought up in a musical family - her parents met at church - both of them musicians in the parish, and her musical heritage goes right back to her Grandfather, who was a songwriter and musician in his own right.

Since the age of 10, she's been writing her own music, slowly developing all the time to become the artist she is today. Along the way, Raye has become confidently adept at various different instruments including the cello, flute, and piano, alongside honing her production skills (and learning to play the guitar).

Music has always been a huge part of Raye's life. Brought up on the classic soul/jazz maestros of the 40's and 50's like Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole etc - this is where her love for songwriting and melody began. Since then her influences, have aligned with the times, citing Drake, and her all time hero Lauryn Hill as huge sources of inspiration.

Her debut EP 'Welcome To The Winter' features 7 tracks, all of which documenting the thoughts and trivialities of a young adult's life. 'Hotbox', written at the age of 15, specifically details an experience Raye personally had. Finding herself on the top deck of a Croydon night bus, she was greeted by a group of 20-somethings who decided it would be socially acceptable to light up a joint, and "hotbox" the top deck. Raye recalls this experience as a moment of realisation, that people at this young age like herself, have to passively inhale a lot of crap, whether they like it or not.

Raye's subtle take on warm, electronic-infused R&B is one that instantly captivates the listener. Carefully drawing inspiration from a finely tuned set of musical eras, genres, and artists; rarely is it the case that a songwriter and performer at such a young age is able to serve up such well-rounded, impressive, and exciting music.
