Summary

Chioma sits down with Raye to talk about how her cover for British Vogue came together in Paris. While Raye has had an incredible year performing at the Grammy’s, the Oscars and the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury, she says being on the cover of British Vogue is a lifetime highlight. “Like that was a real, heart-stop, wow moment for me,” says Raye. “I don't think I'm ever gonna forget that feeling.” 

Raye is busy getting ready to hit the road with her new tour called “This Tour May Contain New Music.” Her new single “Where is my Husband?” has just been released and her new album is available for pre-sale. The only catch? She hasn’t finished the album yet. “The album is not done,” admits Raye. “But I've announced it. You know what? Sometimes you need to put a deadline. So, that's happening.” 

With her album deadline fast approaching, Raye gets candid with Chioma about how the discovery of her bob hair cut helped her find confidence as an artist and how she wants to take more risks with fashion in the next chapter of her music career. “I think I'm finally in the place where I'm ready to like push things a little bit in the fashion sense, whereas before it's very much been like comfort,” says Raye, “ I think I'm now in a place where I'm like, ‘Let’s go!’”

Hi, I'm Art and Fanning Andrews, Vogue's beauty editor at large. eBay is one of the places where it ends up factoring so much into my fashion month because it lets me find pieces that I know aren't just pushed on me because it's a trend that's happening at the moment. There's an element of discovery with eBay where I'll find something new that excites me.

year it has been for Ray. And I have to say, I thought this cover and story was exactly what,

0:51.7

to me, a Vogue cover should be. It really introduces you in an intimate way

to someone who you've started seeing everywhere. And so it feels like a real anointing of her
