Ravyn Lenae's New Album Redefines R&B Evolution

The new, charming, and audacious album by Chicago’s own damages any claim of R&B’s rhythm and blues genre being incapable of evolution and innovation. Long recognized as the genre’s best kept secret, Ravyn Lenae is unguarded no more. Her sound is unique, faintly reminiscent of the ethereal vibes by such R&B ladies as Aaliyah and Billie Eilish, and, as it has developed since the first album, now stands firmly as a confident generator of R&B musical vibes.

The album can mark a distinct way of development in Lenae’s career, as it incorporates many different musical styles, although staying true to her adventurous rhythm and blues niche. Produced together with DJ Dahi, a legendary Los Angeles producer, ‘Bird’s Eye’ unveils a variety of sounds and songs and even lyric lines to define its topic as such.

In this, ‘Bird’s Eye’ definitely proves the artist’s readiness to develop and take her place in the remarkable world of music with her individualistic approach. She changes the power, exuberance, and minimalism of her first creation, and her pop R&B becomes more experimental, but still referring to the old and authentic.
