Raye looked sensational in a black latex mini dress as she posed for a sultry shoot to celebrate the release of her new single, Genesis.
The singer, 26, unveiled the seven-minute track on Friday, explaining that the tune was laid out in three acts she describes as ‘a prayer and a plea and a cry for help.’
It’s her first release since 2023’s My 21st Century Blues, which won British Album of the Year at the Brit Awards.
In an accompanying shoot, Raye exuded glamour in a figure-hugging dress that clung to her slender curves.
She also posed in a halter neck dress that she accessorised with a diamond bracelet and pearl necklace.

Raye’s fans instantly went wild for her new track, which she revealed took two years to write.
Speaking about the process on Capital Breakfast on Friday she shared: ‘We pasted all the clips together, because I’ve been working on this individually for, sorry it’s really chaotic, it’s intense, it’s long.’
As Chris Strark probed: ‘So did it take quite a long period to write, and where in your life were you in this? Was this a recent thing?’ Raye continued: ‘This is so many sittings. Oh my god’
Sian Welby asked: ‘Different eras of your life?’ to which Raye responded: ‘So 2022 we started originally, I wrote it for someone else and then there are a hundred different version of this song.
‘I combed away at it, I re-recorded it so many times I can’t even say. The amount of engineers who have worked on this song.’
Raye’s journey from musical obscurity to global pop star reached new heights in March as she made history by sensationally winning six Brit awards.
The London-born singer, full name Rachel Agatha Keen, was overwhelmed as she broke the record for winning the most gongs in one night, going up each time to collect her awards barefoot.
She was nominated seven times – the most ever for a single artist in a year – but couldn’t possibly have won more than she did as she was shortlisted twice for song of the year – for Escapism, which won the title, and for Prada.
At the ceremony at London’s O2 arena, the star collected prizes for best artist, new artist, R&B act and songwriter as well as a song and album of the year.

The songwriter’s success represents one of music’s greatest ever comebacks, coming just three years after her former record label Polydor refused to release any of her albums.
This led to Raye leaving the company and releasing her critically acclaimed, and now award winning, debut My 21st Century Blues as an independent artist.
Raye was seen in floods of tears as she collected her awards and even brought her grandmother on stage to collect Album of the Year.
The star of the night also took to the stage to perform a trio of hits – Ice Cream Man on piano, an orchestral version of Prada before ending with Escapism.
The singer/songwriter scooped the Song of the year award for her hit Escapism ft 070 Shake, shortly before also taking home the R&B Act gong and Best New Artist.
