Ray BLK Races Back With New Single ‘M.I.A.’

New album 'ACCESS DENIED' is incoming...

Ray BLK has shared her new single 'M.I.A.' – tune in now.

The UK star returns with ambitious plans, with new album 'ACCESS DENIED' set to be released on September 17th.

Taking another step forwards, 'M.I.A.' is out now and it's a golden return from one of the most natural talents in the game.

R&B with plenty of UK grit, 'M.I.A.' is topped off by a feature from rising Stateside artist Kaash Paige.

Ray BLK says the new single is "my summer anthem as we’re released from lockdown. It’s just about escaping, or being with someone who feels like an escape, like you’re on holiday and just at peace, away from the noise. After being in lockdown for so long and being overwhelmed or feeling low, I’m ready to be out with the people I love the most in our element with this playing in the background as the soundtrack to our summer."

Speaking about her album, Ray BLK comments…

"I've been looking forward to this moment of releasing my debut album since I was 13 in the studio with MNEK learning how to write songs and knew for certain I wanted to be a singer. 'Access Denied' is for those who like myself, know disappointment too well and have learned to create boundaries as a coping mechanism for self protection."

"I’ve opened up about how the childhood I had made me guarded, how disappointing relationships made me fear love and how being told no so many times in the music industry kicked me down, but I got back up. I want people to listen to this record and value themselves enough to deny access to those who are undeserving, and to also value themselves enough to keep believing in themselves when they’re denied access to certain spaces and say yes to themselves when the world tells them no."

Tune in now.
