British songstress Raye has shared a bittersweet update with her fans on her 27th birthday, revealing that her car was stolen along with all her songwriting books inside. The Mercury Prize-nominated artist, 27, who recently swept the Brit Awards with six wins, took to Instagram to share the unfortunate news that put a damper on her album plans.
She posted: "It’s my birthday and my car got stolen with all my song writing books in the boot so no second album any time soon love you bye."

However, fans shocked by the theft joked that they were going to hunt the songwriting books down. Comments read: "I’m starting my own investigation, we need that album", "Girl we need to get your car back i am fuming" and: "Oh my god surely we can find it! Let the thieves know that there’s a secret spot that they can leave the books no questions asked… HAPPY BIRTHDAY."
The Brit School alum, famed for tracks like Prada featuring Casso and D-Block Europe, has been on the rise since her teen years with Polydor Records. She's also known for lending her voice to chart-toppers by David Guetta and Jax Jones, as well as penning lyrics for icons Beyonce and Rihanna.
Despite her talent, her solo work did not reach the same heights and in 2021 she expressed frustration at her label not letting her release her debut album yet. By the end of 2022 she had struck out on her own and her dance track Escapism featuring 070 Shake had gone viral on TikTok and shot up the charts to number one.
