But the album is clearly back on track, since today, the undeniable British singer and songwriter is previewing it with a new single, \u201cWhere Is My Husband!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tA surging blend of R&amp;B old (blasting horns) and new (her zippy phrasing and bustling rhythms rooted in hip hop), \u201cWhere Is My Husband!\u201d made its splashy debut during a dazzling performance of the song at this summer\u2019s Glastonbury festival. This studio version (produced and co-written with her longtime collaborator Mike Sabath) doesn\u2019t disappoint. Starting with its intro drum roll, \u201cWhere Is My Husband!\u201d may be the brassiest, most assertive piece of music Raye has ever released, and we don\u2019t just mean the exclamation point: Both the arrangement and her singing downright crackle, as do the words: \u201cWait til I get my hands on him\/I\u2019ma tell him off too\/For how long he kept me waiting,\u201d she sings about the imaginary partner of her future. Check out the song and its video below. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"RAYE - WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!

After garnering buzz in England for a sound and look that recalled vintage and jazz and soul singers but was undeniably non-retro, the former Rachel Keen began a swift climb up the modern-pop ladder, co-writing tracks for Charli XCX (\u201cAfter the Afterparty\u201d) and Beyonc\u00e9 (\u201cBigger,\u201d from the <em>Lion King <\/em>remake) as well as John Legend and Ellie Goulding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tBut when it came to her own music, Raye felt her first record company was trying to shoehorn her into a style of music \u2014 clubby dance music \u2014 that didn\u2019t work for her, and the label ultimately shelved her planned debut album. Newly independent, she started fresh and completed her full-on debut, the acclaimed <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-features\/raye-escapism-21st-century-blues-interview-1234671381\/\">21<sup>st<\/sup> Century Blues<\/a><\/em>, which arrived in early 2023 and introduced her newly luxurious but spiky melding of contemporary R&amp;B, pop, and jazz.<\/p>\n<section class=\"brands-most-popular \/\/ editors-pick-module lrv-u-margin-tb-2 lrv-u-border-a-2 u-box-shadow-5-5 lrv-u-padding-lr-1 a-span1 u-padding-b-1@tablet u-overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 id=\"section-heading\" class=\"c-heading larva  lrv-u-text-align-center u-border-color-black a-font-theme-primary-xxs lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase u-letter-spacing-0063 lrv-u-padding-t-050 u-padding-b-0375@tablet lrv-u-padding-b-050@mobile-max lrv-u-border-b-2\">\n<p>\t\tEditor\u2019s picks<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"RAYE - Where The Hell Is My Husband?
