About this Event

Lady Wray is making music on her own terms. With an almighty voice, soul-stirring lyrics, and a magnetic personality, the singer-songwriter continues to elevate her artistry while pushing the boundaries of soul and R&B.. Lady Wray’s music reflects her appreciation for her family, her faith, and her renewed love for herself—all of which drive her anticipated third album Cover Girl (out September 26 via Big Crown Records).

The celebratory Cover Girl takes listeners on a free-spirited joyride glittered with ‘60s and '70s-inspired soul and disco, ‘90s hip-hop and R&B, and gospel. Following the healing journey that was 2022’s Piece of Me, the singer has performed on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert and NPR’s Tiny Desk, spent ample time on the road touring, and was sampled on London electronic producer Fred Again’s 2024 album, Ten Days. After this period of growth, Lady Wray is now ready to let her hair down and embrace all of what life has to offer her. The singer reunited with producer Leon Michels for the record, who helped fuse the singer’s raw soul sensibility with a modern R&B sound. The outcome of Cover Girl is effortless, a reflection of the pair’s longtime collaboration that extends over a decade.

Lady Wray signed to Big Crown Records in 2016 and released two retro-rooted albums—2016’s Queen Alone and 2022’s Piece of Me. After surviving industry road bumps and trying to find her voice, the new album Cover Girl is a reminder that her ancestral talent was there all along.

“You need to rule your own world. Don't let anybody get in your way. You rock with your dreams until the wheels fall off,” Lady Wray says. “That's what I've been doing with my career since 1998. I know who I am and what I bring to the table. It's been a heck of a journey, and I feel so happy to be making the best music of my life.”
