King Charles III has shared his love of RAYE, and described the singer as âa great ambassador for British musicâ.
The comments came as the King shared a personally-curated playlist of his favourite songs on a one-off radio show this morning (March 10).
AdvertisementMade in partnership with Apple Music, âThe Kingâs Music Roomâ, celebrated music from across the Commonwealth and saw him offer a first-hand explanation about how the songs included came to form the soundtrack of his life.
Among those listed was RAYE, who King Charles praised as being one of the names best highlighting the musical talent coming out of Britain.
âI was particularly pleased to meet RAYE, when I visited Battersea Power Station in December to see how my Princesâ Trust â now renamed the Kingâs Trust â continues to help young people, very nearly half a century since I first founded it,â he began.
âAnyone who saw RAYE perform at the Grammy Awards will know that she is a great ambassador for British music.â
He continued, sharing how the singerâs motherâs Ghanaian heritage brought back fond memories for him. These included the time he was given a bow and arrow at Balmoral by the then-Ghanaian Prime Minister, Kwame Nkrumah. âI went straight out and fired into a nearby pine tree and then couldnât get the arrow out again,â he recalled (via The Mirror).
RecommendedElsewhere in the playlist, the royal also named Diana Rossâ hit song âUpside Downâ as one he loved in his youth, saying: âIt was impossible not to get up and dance when it was played, and I wonder if I can still just manage it.â
He also recalled the time Kylie Minogue performed a rendition of âThe Loco-Motionâ in 2012.
âKylie Minogue came to St. Jamesâ Palace to perform this song in 2012, in advance of the Diamond Jubilee visit to Australia,â the King explained. âWe had a large reception from Australians in the United Kingdom, and as Kylie is an ambassador for my now-Kingâs Trust, she very generously agreed to come and perform. The song is âThe Loco-motionâ, and it is music for dancing. Again, it has that infectious energy which makes it, I find, incredibly hard to sit still.â

News of the playlist was shared last week, and described as a compilation of songs that would reflect the royalâs personal taste, including 1930s crooners, Afrobeats stars, disco icons and reggae giants.
âThroughout my life, music has meant a great deal to me. I know that is also the case for so many others. It has that remarkable ability to bring happy memories flooding back from the deepest recesses of our memory, to comfort us in times of sadness, and to take us to distant places,â he said in the introductory remarks.
âBut perhaps, above all, it can lift our spirits to such a degree, and all the more so when it brings us together in celebration. In other words, it brings us joy.â
His comments about RAYE at the Grammys come as the London-based singer took to the stage at the 97th Academy Awards in Los Angeles earlier this month â joining Doja Cat and BLACKPINKâs Lisa for a medley of classic James Bond themes to celebrate the legendary spy movie franchise.
Afterwards, she revealed she was âso nervousâ to cover âSkyfallâ, claiming that âno one can sing Adele like Adeleâ.
