RAYE has shared a new song, Nightingale Lane..
Following last September's single Where Is My Husband!, the heartfelt ballad marks the second preview of the multi-BRIT Award-winning and Grammy-nominated artist's sophomore album, 'This Music May Contain Hope.', due out on March 27 via Human Re Sources.
The track arrives ahead of her performance at tomorrow's (February 28) BRIT Awards ceremony at Manchester's Co-op Live, where she is nominated for Song Of The Year with Where Is My Husband!, as well as best Pop Act.
Other performances on the night include Alex Warren, EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI, the singing voices of HUNTR/X, who will deliver a special performance in front of invited fans outside of Co-op Live, Harry Styles, Olivia Dean, Mark Ronson, RAYE, Rosalía, Sombr and Wolf Alice. There will also be an all-star tribute to the late Ozzy Osboure, who is honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
This year will be the first time the BRIT Awards ceremony will be held outside London, though Jack Whitehall will return as host. It will be broadcast exclusively on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player.
RAYE is currently amid the UK and Ireland leg of her extensive arena tour, billed as This Tour May Contain New Music, which continues tonight (February 27) with the second of six shows scheduled at London's O2 Arena. She will also play two nights at Dublin's 3Arena on March 4 and 5, with North American dates lined up for the spring.
She'll also support Bruno Mars on The Romantic Tour in the US this summer and headline the UK's Reading and Leeds festivals, alongside Charli XCX, DAVE, Chase and Status, Florence + The Machine, and Fontaines D.C, and Brighton Pride's Pride On The Park with Diana Ross in August.
