Chicago R&B singer Ravyn Lenae has returned with her first offerings of 2026. “Reputation” is an acoustic ballad about a crumbling relationship and features a guest verse from Dominic Fike, while “Bobby” is a more-upbeat number acting as one of those lover’s “internal dialogue” about whether they should continue or end romance. Each track arrives with its own minimalist music video, which you can check out below.

In 2025, Lenae stayed relatively quiet on the new-music front, releasing two features (on songs by PinkPantheress and Kali Uchis, respectively) alongside a cover of “O Holy Night” and Queen’s “Bicycle Race.” She spent last fall on the road supporting her standout 2024 album, Bird’s Eye.
