Beyoncé is celebrating three British singer-songwriters whose work has caught her attention.

Beyoncé singled out RAYE, Olivia Dean and Sienna Spiro in a new i-D interview. Discussing Britain’s music scene, she praised their songwriting, production and the qualities she hears in their voices.

Her connection with Spiro goes back further than the singer’s public breakthrough. As Billboard reports, Beyoncé said she knew Spiro’s family and heard her sing as a child.

Spiro’s rise has also attracted recognition from TikTok. The platform selected her for its “Behind the Breakthrough” campaign this year, describing how early online performances helped her build an audience before broader streaming and touring success.

RAYE’s praise carries a professional connection: she contributed songwriting to Beyoncé’s The Gift. Beyoncé emphasized the vulnerability and wisdom she hears in RAYE’s delivery.

Dean was included in that appreciation as well. The interview placed the three artists together through their creative work rather than suggesting a collaboration or announcing a new release.

For Beyoncé, the common thread was pride in women shaping their own music. Her remarks offered recognition across generations while keeping the focus on the individual voices emerging from Britain.
