Talk:Genesis (Raye song)

Songwriters and producers.

Raye co-wrote and co-produced the song with Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins. Marvin Hemmings and Shankar Ravindran played supporting roles in both the writing and production, (though there is no weighted contribution shown on Digital Service Provider (DSP) credits.) (The DSP credits were incorrect on launch but have since been corrected.) For Part iii, Tom Richards was the main producer with Raye, though all previously mentioned contributors have been credited.

'team' not 'management'

The quoted article states.... "Even after initially receiving a mixed response from members of her team about the length of “Genesis” ". Her management is a subset of the wider team which includes her distribution team and others. Her management were fully behind her decision from the start and the wikipedia page misrepresents management's support without being consistent to the source article.

• "Upon its release, the song received positive reviews from music journalists and was added to year-end lists of best music" - probably "upon its release" can be removed here as it sounds confusing with the "was added to year-end lists" ... and "music critics" would sound better in my opinion
• I suggest linking the My 21st Century Blues Tour in lead and prose, but I'd like to know your thoughts on this

I'm not sure how it would help readers since it's a short mention in that section of the album and one of the two sources is not reliable I think.

That makes sense.

• "Raye included "Genesis" in the regular set list of her fourth concert tour in 2024" - "Raye included "Genesis" in the regular set list of the My 21st Century Blues Tour in 2024" (with/without the wikilink)
• "in which she "worked so hard" - on which?
• Why are we linking New York City but not London?
• "The music video is nominated" - "The music video has been nominated"
• "2025 MOBO Awards" - "2025 MOBO Awards"
• There are several times where the track title was repeated in two consecutive sentences in the critical reception section, and there are honestly too many quotes, it would be cool if some of them could be paraphrased
• Why aren't we including anything about the song's commercial performance in prose (!)
• Refs 1 and 28 need a trans-title
• Refs 19 and 31 has a limited access
• Refs 12 and 26 are duplicated
• Ref 34 seems to be dead

It seems normal to me

It was the "Raye UK" source and I'm kinda sure it's dead but please correct me if I'm wrong ....

Got it. I thought you were talking about one of the OCC sources.

Back with another nom! I think that's all. I really love this song and I'm still surprised that it wasn't nominated for any Grammy Award. @CatchMe: I'll put this  On hold for now. I also currently have two GANs, Marjorie (song) and Forever Winter, I would appreciate any comments anytime if you're interested. Both are very short and sweet articles so I hope you'd enjoy reading them anyways :) Medxvo (talk) 19:12, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for looking to another of my nominations! I adressed all of the comments. About the Critical reception part, when I first wrote the section I wasn't that aware of how to do it honestly. Don't know if I'm doing it right so let me know if I have to change other things. And yes I will be glad to review another of your articles! CatchMe (talk) 21:00, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

By the way, @Medxvo: Do you know if Headline Planet is reliable? Another user added it to the Release history table and I'm not sure about that. If it is, I would add it to Release as well, along with the Italian date. CatchMe (talk) 21:03, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

During the review I thought it's OK because Brian Cantor seemed to be a subject-matter expert, but I just noticed that the website is unreliable according to WP:NOTRSMUSIC, my apologies for not noticing this earlier. I've tried to find any other reliable source but I couldn't find any source other than this archive, which supports that it was released to rhythmic contemporary radio. I recommend removing the US radio details from the release history table and adding something like "it was released to US rhythmic contemporary radio in June 2024" in the release section and add this source; something similar to Feather (song), which also doesn't have a confirmed radio impact date.

CatchMe, the critical reception section looks AMAZING to me now!!! I've left two comments above and I'll wait if you want to change the radio thing before passing. Thanks for addressing everything! Medxvo (talk) 22:50, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

@Medxvo: Thank you for your words and reviewing this article! I changed the radio thing so I believe all is done now. CatchMe (talk) 23:18, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

✓ Pass. Congratulations on another job well done :) Medxvo (talk) 23:34, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
