How satisfying has it been to witness the transformation of Rachel Agatha Keen?
Five years ago, the singer - better known as Raye - made a bid for freedom, cutting ties with record label who'd forced her to make generic dance tracks she dismissed as "really boring".

Powered by singles like Escapism and Oscar Winning Tears, it won a record-breaking six Brit Awards, including album of the year, which resulted in Raye "ugly crying on national television".
