Raye Zaragoza: “The It Girl”

By: Jack Anderson

Growing up Brown in the United States has become inseparable from L.A. songwriter Raye Zaragoza‘s sense of compassion and drive for social justice and equality. Zaragoza’s outspokenness was first heard on her appropriately-titled 2017 debut Fight For You and continues moving towards her upcoming sophomore LP, a record co-shaped by First Aid Kit and The Decemberists producer Tucker Martine.

Just yesterday Zaragoza shared a music video coinciding with her latest single, challenging the media for more diverse representation while chronicling Zaragoza’s own hurdles with love and acceptance, particularly with experiences of whitewashing as a skewed means of attaining normalcy, on “The It Girl”!
