Hey! Look at this! A good cover! What a refreshing change of events in these cold times. She looks beautiful, there's a sense of movement and playfulness, and the whole thing is simply eye-catching. I'd pick this up at an airport newsstand. I assume the flower in her hair is an homage to Billie Holiday, whom Raye has often cited as a major influence; I also love that her hat is slightly reminiscent of an old-school microphone. The entire cover is just really solid.

[The profile is a good one; ](https://www.elle.com/culture/music/a69947108/raye-new-album-music-tour-interview-2026/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)Raye seems delightful and is very forthcoming in a way that celebs rarely are anymore. (I do wish someone had caught that the "Diana Washington" they name as one of Raye's influences is actually the great[ *Dinah* Washington.)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinah%5FWashington?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) It gets into some serious topic, including substance abuse and sexual assault, as fair warning, but I'm going to share part of it that made me smile, about Raye's upcoming concerts:

> The final segment of the show—“Summer”—will be a dance party. She plans to have the word “RAYE” on a screen behind her onstage and transition it to say “RAVE,” which is an idea she got from a very drunk woman at one of her shows. (“I just want to find this girl to tell her thank you,” she says. “I hope she remembers.”)

I ALSO hope this drunk girl remembers this! She is going to be STOKED.
