British singer RAYE has revealed that she is delaying her next album because she wants her personal life to inspire the music.
The 28-year-old artist shared the surprising decision during her appearance on the Today Show’s Citi Summer Concert Series, where she revealed that her upcoming third studio album will be titled And Then She Fell in Love.
RAYE explained that she does not want to create the album until the title reflects a real chapter of her life. She jokingly said she is “on strike” from making another album until she finds love.
The singer said that after years of writing songs, she feels ready for a different perspective. She admitted that much of her previous work focused on heartbreak, difficult relationships, and feelings of loneliness.
RAYE shared that she has spent a long time writing about situations that did not work out and now wants to explore a new emotional experience through her music.
During the interview, host Craig Melvin asked if she was seriously planning to wait for the right person before releasing another album.
RAYE confidently replied that she was committed to the decision and joked that the wait could even last 10 years.
The singer added that she is excited to experience life’s unexpected moments and discover what direction her next creative project will take.
RAYE recently released her second album, This Music May Contain Hope, in March, following the success of her debut record My 21st Century Blues.
Known for her powerful vocals and emotional songwriting, RAYE continues to connect with fans by turning personal experiences into music. Her latest announcement has sparked curiosity about what inspiration her future album may bring.
