On her birthday, the Brit Award winner revealed via Instagram that “My car got stolen along with all my songwriting books in the boot”, letting her fans know “no second album anytime soon”. She also posted a photo of a homemade cake with the words “Sorry your car got stolen”. Despite this frustrating event, however, the star still appeared to enjoy her birthday sharing pictures of multiple birthday cakes, herself smiling widely.
The second album referred to is the highly anticipated follow up to Raye’s debut ‘21st Century Blues’ which won her 6 Brit Awards in March 2024, including ‘Best Song’ and ‘Best British Album’, and breaking the record for the most wins in one year. She also performed a medley of her songs live at the show.
Raye’s other achievements this year include topping the UK charts with her singe ‘Escapism’; co-writing a song for Beyonce’s album ‘Cowboy Carter’; performing on SNL; and opening an Eras Tour Wembley show for Taylor Swift, to name a few. Her incredible success this year makes it clear why there is so much excitement for her sophomore album, but due to the robbery we may have to wait a little while longer to see what this new era of Raye brings.
