Carter Raye - Umbrellas (Video)

Throughout the weekend, you couldn’t escape the newest single from Carter Raye titled “Umbrellas,” not that you wanted to, of course, since her contagious chorus would catch you repeating it until you fell in love with the ballad. The visual, directed by dannyspidey, has Carter parading around lights and clouds in the downtown area to the Wonder Chamber, building a splendid viewing in the process to get her energy and creativity out in one place. The video has been doing its rounds throughout social media, being promoted by your favorite blogs, and more so, why not get involved ourselves in pushing her viewership more on what will be a start for a highlighted month for Carter Raye but not the last.

Carter Raye is dodging the rain when it comes to the fake shit but gaining the reign when approaching the real (see what I did there), especially here in her city, as she is becoming a known candidate to lead the wave in 2024 and her latest single is just the perfect momentum to turn those doubters into believers. When it rains, it pours, from one moment living it up to the subsequent dealing with some bullshit people try to put on you, but Carter Raye isn’t having it. If it isn’t about the all-mighty dollar sign, keep it 100 feet from her. She’s bound to cash out and spend it however she pleases without a care; if she wants it, she’ll get it without assistance. The production, laced by Mike Spinz & SephGotTheWaves, is put together nicely since the uptempo has Carter Raye floating over gracefully while showcasing how far her range can go. Carter Raye is inspirational in the cut by letting her vocals in harmony do the boasting; she knows what lies ahead in the future and preps by keeping her attached to the cash since it’s the thing for sure she knows she’s getting to with everything else falling in place. At the same time, her eyes are glued to dedication & determination. The beauty of her art is the passion she has; it can light up a room if you let it; there’s not a lot of that in artists now. People will do it for the followers and attention, but you can hear it in her tone that she wants more from it: a career, a stable, carefree life. However, she feels fit to be her goal to accomplish, but she has the drive to make it happen. She is an artist with a lot of heart, and I think this will be the first sign to see it with much more opportunity to witness it in the future.

I’m sure this won’t be the last time we see Carter Raye’s name this year; I got a feeling we’ll be getting used to her, no doubt so if we were y’all, we get on to take notice quickly. There is no sign yet on where this single might end up; it could be on a possible project in the works or could be slated for something else, but if this single plays any indication of what’s to come, I think it’s safe to say we’re anticipating something huge from Carter Raye. Keep a lookout via her social media, and in the meantime, continue running up those views on the visual.
