Three-time Grammy nominated global music superstar, Raye made quite a splash in 2025. She was featured on the cover of British Vogue magazine and is poised to continue to bask in the spotlight with the release of her new single, "Where Is My Husband?!" which is currently out now on all digital streaming platforms via Human Re Sources/The Orchard.

Co-written and produced with longtime collaborator Mike Sabath, the track marks the first release off her currently untitled highly-anticipated sophomore album, due to arrive in early 2026.

"Where is My Husband?!" is a sassy yet sincere ode to Raye's search for her life partner. Fusing funky brass, syncopated R&B beats, and glossy soul-pop production, the track showcases Raye's signature soaring vocals and layered harmonies. Fans first heard the song as the opening number of her acclaimed Glastonbury set this summer, with subsequent performances at All Points East and the Montreux Jazz Festival.

To coincide with the release, Raye is set to embark on her "This Tour May Contain New Music,"--a massive 40-date headline tour kicking off Jan. 22 in Lodz, Poland (Atlas Arena) and concluding May 12 at Los Angeles, California's Greek Theatre. The tour will make a Sacramento stop at Channel 24 on March 31 and on May 10, in San Francisco at The Theater at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium.

Providing direct support throughout the entire tour are her younger sisters, Absolutely and Amma, who recently joined Raye at All Points East--offering fans an early glimpse of the powerful family dynamic they can expect live.

MORE ABOUT RAYE:

The multi-award-winning British artist Rayeis redefining modern pop music through raw storytelling, genre-defying sound, and record-breaking success. The three-time Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, and producer made history at the 2025 Grammy Awards as the first artist ever nominated for both "Best New Artist" and "Songwriter of the Year (Non-Classical)" in the same year.

This milestone followed the South London singer's record-breaking sweep at the 2024 BRIT Awards, where she took home six awards--the most by any artist in a single year--and became the first woman ever honored as "Songwriter of the Year." With viral performances at the 2025 Grammy's ("Oscar Winning Tears.") and the Academy Awards (James Bond tribute), Raye has proven herself to be one of the industry's most exciting voices.

Since her 2014 debut, Raye has charted 18 Top 40 UK singles and surpassed over 10 Billion cumulative streams. Her genre-defying catalog--covering pop, R&B, hip-hop, gospel, jazz, big band, and dance--includes collaborations with Stormzy, Central Cee, Lucky Daye, David Guetta, Jax Jones, and Disclosure. A prolific songwriter, Raye has also penned hits for icons like Beyonce, Charli XCX, and Jennifer Lopez, as well as JADE and Halle.

Raye's 2023 debut album, My 21st Century Blues (Human Re Sources/The Orchard), was a decade in the making and marked her first as an independent artist. The record achieved unprecedented critical and international commercial success, propelled by the inescapable worldwide smash hit "Escapism." The single not only became her first career UK No. 1, but also reached Top 10 in over 20 countries, was certified RIAA Platinum in the US, and became the UK's largest-selling single by a female British artist in 2023.

Further, the album led to over 150 headline shows across the globe, including standout performances at Coachella, Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, Fuji Rock, Austin City Limits, Corona Capital, and Montreux Jazz Festival.

Her one-night-only show at London's Royal Albert Hall—backed by a 50-piece orchestra and gospel choir--was released on vinyl and broadcast on PBS and BBC, with critics hailing her as "the most talented artist since Adele and Amy Winehouse" (The Telegraph).

Raye kicked off 2025 by joining forces with Lisa and Doja Cat on the global anthem "Born Again," which she co-wrote and co-produced and recently earned the trio an MTV Video Music Award. She also collaborated with 9-time Grammy-winning producer Mark Ronson on two jazz-influenced singles, "Suzanne" and "Grandma Calls The Boy Bad News," the latter of which featured on the "F1The Movie" soundtrack.

An outspoken advocate for songwriter rights, Raye consistently uses her platform to call attention to industry imbalances--from power dynamics between artists and labels to the financial challenges creatives face in the streaming era.

On screen, Raye makes a cameo in an episode of the Netflix limited series "Black Rabbit," starring Jason Bateman and Jude Law. The appearance also features her rendition of the jazz classic "What a Difference a Day Makes."
