RAYE’s Stolen Car and Songbooks Recovered, Easing Yearlong Album Setback

The return of her handwritten lyrics restores hard-won material central to her unfinished second record.

Overview

  • RAYE said police called her two to three months ago to report the vehicle had been found.
  • She reported that nothing was removed and all songwriting notebooks were returned "untouched."
  • The October 2024 theft had led her to delay work on the follow-up to My 21st Century Blues.
  • Her next project, currently listed as Album 2, is available to pre-order for a 2026 release, with the title and exact date still unannounced.
  • Lead single Where Is My Husband! has peaked at No. 67 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 3 in the U.K., and a Europe, U.K. and North America tour runs January to May 2026, including six nights at London’s O2.
