Raiche: The R&B vibes are brewing with a fire 'Making Room' album on deck

Ready to completely load up on R&B? Look no further than crooner Raiche showing out with her new Making Room EP slated to arrive in the coming hours.

Raiche’s ‘Making Room’ studio album officially drops this week

While you’ll have to wait another day before getting your hands - and ears - on this project, Rai has you more than covered with a hard-hitting solid EP set to warm up your November.

Genre Defying Entertainment / Island Prolific / Atlantic Records artist Raiche is ready to share her highly anticipated new EP, Making Room, set to release on November 13. This 5-track project marks a pivotal moment in Raiche’s musical and personal journey, as she channels heartbreak, self-reflection, and growth into a soulful, empowering collection of songs. Making Room is a spirited celebration of moving on and embracing new beginnings, fueled by the strength she found during a transformative period in 2023.

After a difficult breakup, Raiche spent the summer in Atlanta, diving deep into self-help books and podcasts on love, heartbreak, and relationships, including Jay Shetty’s 8 Rules of Love and Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist. It was here that Raiche found the space to heal, gather her strength, and create music that showcases her growth and resilience.

I realized I have the power to restructure my thinking and change any relationship,” Raiche shares. “I learned you can be like, ‘I want to be happy today,’ and be happy.”

The EP includes standout tracks like the title track “Making Room,” praised by VIBE as an anthem of self-work and growth, and the emotionally raw “Hearts At War,” which has garnered praise from UPROXXRated R&B, and VIBE, and was selected for Nissan USA’s popular #NissanKicks campaign.  Raiche’s bold transformation is also captured on the latest single, “You Made Me,” a funk-infused track about reclaiming her power and moving on from a toxic relationship.  Her music has received acclaim from Billboard, ESSENCE, and more, and she recently delivered a powerful performance of Making Room on the #LateShowMeMusic series
