"Top 30 British R&B singers: list of UK R&B singers 2023"

British R&B music is a subgenre of R&B music that originated in the UK. It's a genre that has been around for decades, but it wasn't until recently that it became popular among people outside of its country of origin.

Ray BLK

Ray BLK (born Ray Wilding) is a British singer and songwriter. She has been dubbed the “British Beyoncé” by Pitchfork, and her debut album Good Thing was released in 2018.

Ray's family moved from Birmingham to Reading when she was five years old. Her father worked as a mechanic while her mother took care of the housework and children, who were often left alone while they were at school or college. The sisters' parents divorced when Ray was 12 years old; this had an impact on how they grew up as children because their parents' relationship was so unstable that neither parent wanted any more children after that point in time—which affected them deeply as adults too since they didn't know where their other half would be coming from next year or even half an hour away on holiday!
