Girl Ray have set it for release on August 4th.

Girl Ray have announced the details of their third studio album.

Prestige was co-produced by Poppy Hankin with Ben H. Allen and is being previewed today with Hold Tight, whose video was directed by Alex Cantouris.




“Lyrically this song is about how appreciative I am to have found my partner, and how my mental load feels so much lighter and easier to bear now that I’m with her,” Hankin said.

“The production on this takes some inspiration from Haim’s incredible record ‘Women in Music Pt. III’, and features a subby drum loop inspired by Atlanta’s hip hop scene.”

“To mark the 8th video me and Girl Ray have done together, and to celebrate almost 10 years of working alongside each other, we thought what better way to honour the occasion than to drive seven hours to the Lake District and spend a whole day filming in the rain,” Cantouris added.

Fortunately the rain made the perfect backdrop for us to combine our theme of Bananarama meets 19th century Western aesthetic. Frankly, once cow patterned clothes were mentioned, the video really made itself.
