Raye and producer Kelly Schoenfeld have released a powerful legacy album with 25 Years, 25 Hits. This timeless project includes his 16 chart-topping country singles, as well as other popular songs. They were able to take Raye’s original recordings, dust them off, and they gave them a fresh, redecorated touch, thus enhancing their musical magic.
Some of the highlight songs on this album include the gorgeous ballad “Love, Me,” the haunting, piano-driven “Love Remains,” the sassy “My Kind of Girl,” the heart-warming ballad “In This Life,” the mid-tempo and fun “I Think About You,” and “I Can Still Feel You,” which is a remarkable melody; moreover, his signature tune, the socially conscious “Little Rock” is sheer perfection.
If 25 songs weren’t enough, Raye offers his fans three additional bonus tracks (for 28 songs in total), which include “Undefeated,” “She’s With Me” and “Shall We Gather At The River.”
