Ravyn Lenae - Blue Island Ravyn Lenae

Ravyn Lenae has announced a new album, Blue Island, her first since 2024’s Bird’s Eye and its billion-streams-and-counting breakout track “Love Me Not.” The LP is Lenae’s third full-length and arrives August 7 via Atlantic. Check out its new wave-y new single “Handle” , along with an Andre Muir-directed music video that includes choreography by Akira Uchida.

“‘Blue Island’ is a point of arrival, and feeling set in my ways and in who I am, and feeling free of any of those preconceived notions about Blackness or what I had to be in the past,” Lenae said in a statement about the record’s inception.

“I think now it’s fun to challenge the idea of what R&B is supposed to sound like, what pop is supposed to sound like… and really say ‘fuck all of that’ and do my own thing.’”

Blue Island” is available on Vinyl and CD. Lenae is set to play more than a dozen dates across North America and Europe. She'll be making a stop at Electric Picnic on August 30.
