Raye is perhaps best known for her single Escapism, the break-out hit from her debut album.
She has also appeared on a string of other top 10 hits, such as Bed (a collaboration with Joel Corry and David Guetta), Prada (with Cassö and D-Block Europe) and Secrets (with Regard).
Her music contains a mix of pop, R&B, soul, jazz, dance, and hip-hop, as anyone watching her dazzling Glastonbury performance in the summer will have seen.
She made history at the Brit Awards last year when she won six of the seven prizes she was nominated for.
But it took a long time to get there. In 2021, five years after she was signed, her label was still refusing to release her debut, prompting the singer to ask to be freed from her contract.
The south Londoner was allowed to keep the songs she had written, and ultimately found huge success as a solo artist after Escapism became a viral hit.
In the years leading up to her debut album’s eventual release, Raye also collaborated with Mabel, Jax Jones, Rudimental and Disclosure.
She will embark on a continental tour – titled This Tour May Contain New Music – from January 2026, arriving in the UK in February.
