Ravyn Lenae has unveiled the title and release date of her third studio LP, with Blue Island set to arrive on August 7 via Atlantic Records. The album was executive-produced by Dahi, who worked with Lenae on the singer’s 2024 LP Bird’s Eye. “Blue Island is a point of arrival, and feeling set in my ways and in who I am, and feeling free of any of those preconceived notions about Blackness or what I had to be in the past,” Lenae shared. “So I think now it’s fun to challenge the idea of what R&B is supposed to sound like, what pop is supposed to sound like… and really say ‘fuck all of that’ and do my own thing.”
The record’s latest single “Handle”—which was preceded by “Reputation” featuring Dominic Fike and “Bobby”—is out now. Check that out below, and pre-order Blue Island here.
