RAYE hints at a second BST Hyde Park show after selling out her July 10th date:
“we’ve sold out 🥹 if you’ve missed out on tickets please join the waiting list !!”
“Everyone knows I’m on strike until, you know, my third album, which is going to be called And Then She Fell in Love,” says @raye of what’s next. So she needs to fall in love before she can make album three? “Which has got to happen at some point before I die. Right?”

Raye’s former record label, Polydor Records, has issued a statement to British GQ following questions about her time at the label, but did not address specific questions about her experience.
“Raye is an exceptional artist whose remarkable success over the years speaks for itself. We are proud of all that we achieved together, and we continue to wish her every success in her career.”
“Creating this album, I had no A&R, I had no boxes to tick. I was governed by this... rebellion.” Read @raye’s #GQMOTY cover story: https://t.co/EOrvYSh0Tr
JADE praises Raye via British GQ:
“Before I met Raye properly, she wrote for Little Mix, and so I already knew of her as an incredible songwriter. I do believe that she is a one-of-a-kind, generational talent. She manages to bridge the gap between the nostalgia and glamour of artists like Diana Ross and Etta James – she has that flair – but with such an innovative writing style, which is so modern and so her.”

This year, Raye became inescapable. Her no-holds-barred jazz-funk plea to the universe, “Where Is My Husband!”, went viral and topped one billion streams. Her second album, This Music May Contain Hope, debuted at the top of the British charts and won the Mercury Prize. There’s a nice irony to Raye’s success. After years of being told what her music should sound like, she has become far, far more successful doing what she wants.
