RAYE has announced news of a huge tour for November, which will see her play shows across the UK and Ireland, taking ‘The Euphoric Sad Show’ from Brighton to Birmingham, London to Manchester and Glasgow to Leeds. Tickets are on sale at 9am on Wednesday 1st September.
Over the past year, RAYE has had two Top 5 hits with ‘Bed’, her collaboration with Joel Corry, and ‘Secrets’ with DJ Regard – which was also nominated for a 2021 BRIT Award for ‘Best British Single’.
‘Bed’ remained in the Official Charts Top 10 for nine consecutive weeks, and has been certified Silver in the UK. RAYE’s collab with D Block Europe, ‘Ferrari Horses’, also achieved this feat after spending several weeks in the Top 20 UK Official Singles Chart. Her single ‘Tequila’ with Jax Jones and Martin Solveig received close to 100 million streams worldwide and was certified Gold in the UK. ‘Regardless (Ft Rudimental)’ continues to stream well internationally, approaching 80 million streams worldwide.
November 2020 saw RAYE delight fans with the surprise release of her mini album ‘Euphoric Sad Songs’, a 9 track project explaining the nine stages of grief when a relationship ends.
RAYE is now one of the Top 200 most streamed artists in the world on Spotify with over 17 million monthly listeners, amassing over 1.4 billion Spotify streams.
She is indisputably one of today’s premier songwriters in the UK and has written songs for artists such as John Legend, Major Lazer, Charli XCX, Little Mix, Hailee Steinfeld, Quavo, Normani, Ellie Goulding, Jax Jones, Khalid, 6LACK and Jessie Reyez, and worked with the world’s biggest songwriters and producers including David Guetta, Diplo, Bloodpop, Andrew Watt, Jin Jin, Kamille, Julia Michaels, Fraser T Smith, Fred Ball and Justin Trantor. She also co-wrote Beyonce’s single ‘Bigger’, the opening track from the new Lion King-inspired album. In 2019 she was awarded The BMI Impact Award in recognition of her ‘ground-breaking artistry, creative vision and impact on the future of music’.
RAYE is a unique figure in today’s industry, and following the release of Euphoric Sad Songs last year, she’s taking these songs on tour this November.
