Following a harrowing setback earlier this year when her car was stolen, RAYE‘s vehicle has since been recovered, along with the original songbooks from her 2023 debut album My 21st Century Blues and her only copy of notes and ideas for the follow-up LP, that were inside the automobile.
Speaking on The EE Official Big Top 40 about the ordeal, the BRIT Award-winning chanteuse said:
“It was a rollercoaster journey, but what I didn’t tell everyone is the police called me maybe two or three months ago, and they were like, ‘We found your car.'” “Not only did I get it back, not one thing had been taken out of the car.” “All my songwriting books were there, untouched.” “Everything ended well.” “Never give up hope.”
In a follow up interview with Variety, the 28-year old superstar singer/songwriter said:
“I had a lot of brilliant poems and titles and phrases and words.” “I was starting to explore the idea of writing the lyrics to melodies. Melodies are an abundant thing you can always play with, but the lyrics are different — they’re so important.” “When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. Losing and winning and trying and failing only to try again, it’s a part of life. And then maybe by a miracle, you get to succeed every now and then. I will relentlessly pursue creating music that I love. And now I get to go away for as long as I want and write a second album.”
