Tomorrow, RAYE will take the stage at the BRIT Awards, where she is nominated for “Song of the Year” and “Best Pop Act,” driven by her UK No. 1 hit “WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!” The global smash has amassed more than 800 million streams worldwide, peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, and marked her second Top 10 on Billboard’s Pop Airplay chart. The single is certified Double Platinum in Australia; Platinum in the U.S., UK, France, Norway, and New Zealand; and Gold in seven additional territories, further solidifying RAYE’s position as one of contemporary pop’s most dynamic and influential voices.
Currently, RAYE is electrifying arenas across Europe and the UK on her sold-out THIS TOUR MAY CONTAIN NEW MUSIC run, joined by her sisters AMMA and ABSOLUTELY. The tour includes six sold-out nights at The O2 before heading to North America for a completely sold-out run, featuring back-to-back nights at Radio City Music Hall (April 15–16) and The Greek Theatre (May 12–13). This summer, she will join Bruno Mars as a special guest on The Romantic Tour for 27 stadium dates across North America. For tickets and additional information, visit her official website.

She has been shortlisted for the Mercury Prize and recognized with Variety’s “Triple Threat” Award, in addition to nominations for BET’s Best International Act and the MTV VMAs’ Video For Good.
Most recently, RAYE received the Recording Academy’s “Harry Belafonte Best Song For Social Change” CEO Merit Award for her unflinching track “Ice Cream Man.”, which amplifies the voices of sexual assault survivors.
