RAYE RELEASES “FRIENDS”

 

 

"We could have been friends,...well maybe not best friends."

 

6 JULY 2018 (TORONTO, ON) - RAYE returns with a surefire smash hit single "Friends", released today via Polydor Records/Universal Music Canada, the country's leading music company. "Friends" is an in your face ode to females being pitted against other females, produced by Mark Ralph and Kyle Shearer, the team behind Martin Garrix and Dua Lipa's "Scared To Be Lonely".

 

RAYE sings "What's up with all the girl hate girl shit" and "Why is it if I'm not a boy I'm an enemy", calling for females to support each other and stop the negativity that is all so easy to create.
