When “HYPNOS” arrived in 2022, it presented Ravyn Lenae as an artist with her own gravitational pull. Her featherlight voice, delicate yet assured, floated across dreamy arrangements that drew life from soul, alternative R&B, and afrobeat. A debut that, for obvious reasons, had both critics and listeners piling on the superlatives. Expectations were therefore sky-high when Ravyn Lenae was set to release its follow-up “Bird’s Eye” – expectations she surpassed with astonishing ease.

On “Bird’s Eye,” Ravyn Lenae has created something completely new and strikingly boundless. Where her debut showcased the flexibility of R&B, the follow-up takes an even bigger leap into the unknown. Like a researcher in her own sonic workshop, she experiments with unexpected combinations of guitar-driven indie, gentle reggae, and more experimental beats. The result is an album that continues to stretch the limits of the genre while deepening her already unique expression. This summer, the cosmic visionary Ravyn Lenae finally makes her long-awaited debut at Way Out West!
