RAYE won’t make another album until she’s found love.<\/p>\n
The 28-year-old singer – who is reportedly dating Hollywood star Michael B Jordan – has confirmed that she’s prioritising her love life over her music career.<\/p>\n
During an appearance on the Today show, RAYE quipped: “I’m on strike, basically. I’m on strike from making an album until I fall in love basically.<\/p>\n
“Because, do you know what it is? I’ve written so many songs … Picture this: I’ve been a songwriter for a really long time and your perspective \u2026 my perspective has largely just been, ‘This didn’t work out or this sucks or I’m alone. My ex that time, or my ex that time.’ So I’m just very bored of that perspective.”<\/p>\n
Asked if she’ll delay releasing another album until she finds “Mr Right”, RAYE replied: “Absolutely. I’m hard-set. It could be 10 years, guys.”<\/p>\n
In the long term, RAYE is looking forward to approaching her next project with an optimistic outlook.<\/p>\n
She said: “I’m just really excited to find another project, see what happens in life and just enjoy the twists and turns, do all that stuff.”<\/p>\n
In 2025, RAYE opened up about her love life, explaining that she’d struggled to move past one particularly heart-breaking break-up.<\/p>\n
The pop star – whose name is Rachel Keen – told British Vogue magazine: “I’ve been single for so long. My last devastating break-up was four, five years ago.<\/p>\n
“I was like, ‘I’m gonna marry him.’ We was together for two years and it ended up not working out.”<\/p>\n
RAYE admitted that the break-up proved to be particularly scarring for her.<\/p>\n
She said: “I have never experienced a more crippling emotion. It took me three, four years to get over him. Like, I can’t allow myself to fall in love until it’s safe.”<\/p>\n
At the time, RAYE insisted she was in “no rush” to find love. However, she did share her dream scenario.<\/p>\n
The singer said: “Is it too much to ask that I’m sat at a bar one day and you walk up to me, and we look into each other’s eyes and you order me a negroni, and we get talking and you love jazz music and you’re intelligent and you’re telling me a quote about something and I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I’m moved’?<\/p>\n
“I’m holding onto that. I’m in no rush. I believe what’s meant to be will be.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"RAYE won’t make another album until she’s found love.
