Ravyn Lenae announces debut album ‘Hypnos’ & tour, shares “M.I.A.”

R&B/soul singer Ravyn Lenae has EPs and singles dating back to 2015, and now she has finally announced her first full-length album, Hypnos, due May 20 via Atlantic (pre-order). It features recent singles “Light Me Up” and “Skin Tight,” as well as the just-released “M.I.A.,” which was produced by Sango and injects a breezy reggae feel into Ravyn’s airy, soulful sound. “M.I.A is about feeling free and comfortable in your skin,” she says. “It’s a peak into my world – the duality of knowing the energy you bring to the world but also being confident in riding dolo.” Listen below.

Ravyn has also announced a tour surrounding her previously announced Brooklyn show opening for Kamasi Washington in Prospect Park on June 8. That’s opening night of this year’s BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival, and it’s free with RSVP. All dates are listed below.
