RAYE is back with new music – check out her latest single ‘Where Is My Husband!’ below.
Today (September 19), the South London musican and BRIT Awards record-breaker shared ‘Where Is My Husband!’ as the first preview of her eagerly awaited sophomore album. While that album has yet to be announced in full detail, a press release confirms that it will be released sometime in 2026 – you can pre-order the record, currently dubbed ‘Album 2’, here.
‘Where Is My Husband!’ was debuted as the opening number to RAYE’s celebrated Glastonbury 2025 performance, which saw fans hailing her as a future headliner at the Worthy Farm festival.
The new tune – accompanied by a glamorous music video – is a brassy number that sees RAYE searching for her life partner. Check it out below.
The new track is a positive update for fans, who began to worry when RAYE admitted in late 2024 that her sophomore album wouldn’t be arriving anytime soon, as the books she had written new material in were stolen out of her car.
Additionally, RAYE has announced an extensive 2026 tour, dubbed ‘This Tour May Contain New Music’. It will see her perform across Europe, the UK and North America between January and May.
Her dates in the UK include massive shows in Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham, and two dates in London. Among her dates in Europe are shows in Amsterdam, Dublin, Paris and Stockholm.
The North American trek will see her perform in the likes of Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York, Atlanta, Chicago and more. She will be supported by her sisters Absolutely and Amma across all dates on the expansive tour.

RAYE’s 2023 debut ‘My 21st Century Blues’ scored a four-star review from NME: “RAYE recently said such bold and brave declarations wouldn’t have been released had she still been signed to a major label. Granted her creative independence, though, the hard-fought ‘My 21st Century Blues’ is unequivocally RAYE from start to finish.”
