Raw has Elijah slot in really nicely to the sexy, sultry R&B performer style. There’s rapid-fire lyrics laid down here like Trey Songz and Chris Brown while the instrumentation is (like the girl described in the track) flawless. The heartbeat-esque backing beat, the brooding keys, and the ability of the track to rise and fall at all the right points makes this a surefire lock for playlist and radio rotation placement. With such confidence and swagger coming forth from the Elijah camp, we cannot help but expect great things to come from this performer. Give the video for Raw a play and let us know what you think.
