RAYE is headed for blood in 2026 and she doesn’t pull any punches. Fresh from gracing the cover of Vogue, the thrice-nominated GRAMMY-winning, record-shattering BRIT Award monarch has just unveiled a 40-date headline tour and unleashed a brand-new single and it has the girls already screaming.
New Single Somewhat Literally A Dating App Plea For Help
Alright, shall we dive into new songs. RAYE just gave us “WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!”, and it’s giving us funky horn sections, blingy R&B, and soul-raising vocals. She produced and wrote it with Mike Sabath, and the song is pretty much her saying what we all say after yet another horrible date from Hinge.
It’s funny, it’s soulful, it’s dramatic, and it’s already charting. The single debuted at No. 48 on Spotify’s Global chart with 2.1 million streams and No. 120 on the U.S. chart. Honestly, not bad for a track that fans first heard at Glastonbury this summer.
40-Dates Tour that will Sweep Off Wigs Across the Globe
RAYE has just unveiled THIS TOUR MAY CONTAIN NEW MUSIC and it’s none other than the largest headline tour of her career yet. From January 22 at Poland and through May 12 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, she’s making her way through 40 North American and European arenas.
And guess who’s kicking off? Her little sisters, ABSOLUTELY and AMMA. Yes ma’am, the RAYE family dynasty is heading to a stage near you. If their impromptu surprise set at All Points East was anything to go by, we’re gonna get harmonies that’ll make you summon your mama. Preorder opens September 23rd and general ticket release September 25th. If you are from Germany, France, or the UK, you get special early access from preordering the album. Don’t say you got it first because these shows are selling out rapidly.
RAYE Been THA Girl, Stop Acting Surprised
RAYE is not new to this, she’s true to this. She’s already snatched six BRIT Awards in one night (history made), landed three GRAMMY nominations, and gave us one of the most iconic debut albums of the last decade, My 21st Century Blues. That album birthed “Escapism.”, a song that went No. 1 in the UK, Top 10 in 20+ countries, and platinum in the U.S.
Ever since, she’s performed from Coachella to Glastonbury, backed Taylor at Wembley, created a world anthem with LISA and Doja Cat, and crossed with Mark Ronson on jazz-tipped anthems. Sis has even been labelled “the most talented artist since Adele and Amy Winehouse” by The Telegraph. Full stop.
Why These Times Are Giving Me Main Character Energy
Between the new single, the upcoming sophomore album, and this behemoth of a tour, RAYE is officially entering her diva period. She’s already demonstrated she could do it all, sing, write, produce, battle for songwriter credits, and bring the house down globally.
She’s inviting you to witness the next chapter of her unfolding live. The headline needs no explanation: THIS TOUR MAY CONTAIN NEW MUSIC. Translation: you are not getting a best of RAYE – you get a front-row seat as she writes the next chapter live on stage.
It’s RAYE’s world of 2026 and the takeover commences January 22. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
