“MIA is my summer anthem as we’re released from lockdown,” Ray BLK says of its new single.
Ray BLK‘s debut album Access Denied has been set for release on September 17th.
14 songs will comprise the record, complete with special guests Giggs, Stefflon Don, Kojey Radical, Suburban Plaza and, of course, Kaash Paige.
“I’ve been looking forward to this moment of releasing my debut album since I was 13 in the studio with MNEK learning how to write songs and knew for certain I wanted to be a singer,” Ray says.
“Access Denied is for those who like myself, know disappointment too well and have learned to create boundaries as a coping mechanism for self protection. I’ve opened up about how the childhood I had made me guarded, how disappointing relationships made me fear love and how being told no so many times in the music industry kicked me down, but I got back up.”
“I want people to listen to this record and value themselves enough to deny access to those who are undeserving, and to also value themselves enough to keep believing in themselves when they’re denied access to certain spaces and say yes to themselves when the world tells them no.”
