— Ravyn Lenae teams up with Rex Orange County for a remix of her fan-favorite “Love Me Not” from her critically acclaimed sophomore album Bird’s Eye.
Shortly after the album’s release in August, she performed a medley of “Love Me Not” and album track “Genius” for her late-night TV debut on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. Today, she shares a brand new rendition of the song featuring a new verse from Rex Orange County, who recently released his new album in The Alexander Technique and covered her stand-out track “One Wish” on the first night of his North American tour in her hometown Chicago last week. It’s a transatlantic linkup that finds the two artists in conversation about love in peril.
The song’s release arrives on the heels of Lenae kicking off her North American Bird’s Eye tour that launched this past weekend in Washington DC. Tonight she will perform a sold-out show at New York’s Webster Hall and continue her trek across the continent through the end of October before heading to Europe in November.
Bird’s Eye arrived two years after Lenae’s groundbreaking debut HYPNOS, which garnered her critical acclaim from the likes of NPR, Pitchfork, Harper’s Bazaar, Billboard, The Guardian and The Washington Post, among others. Executive produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Dahi (Kendrick Lamar, Steve Lacy, Kelela, SZA), Bird’s Eye showcases Ravyn’s ability to effortlessly synthesize the genres that have informed her artistry to date while expanding her sonic universe across the most layered, soul-bearing music of her career. The growth experienced in that time is best evidenced by Bird’s Eye – a body of work in which Lenae let herself explore her musical desires free of expectations about what she should sound like, aided by Dahi’s collaboration.
