Raye promises the 'unexpected' with second album during Coachella Festival set trends now
Raye told crowds at Coachella Festival that her next album would be an exciting departure from her previous work.
Despite her debut album, My 21st Century Blues, scooping her a record-breaking six BRIT Awards last month, she teased that the follow-up would 'not [be] what you expected'.
Since her hit first album, the singer, 26, has already gone multi-platinum with Prada and co-wrote Riiverdance - one of the tracks on Beyoncé's new country album Cowboy Carter.
The star who has made her name in R&B told the California crowd on Saturday: 'This next piece of music I'm going to put out, I'm so proud of it and I just need you to know. I can't wait for you to hear it, it's not what you expected.'
It came a day after her collaboration with Little Mix star Perrie Edwards was announced for the latter's debut solo album.

Perrie also announced a second collaboration with Ed, 33, will feature on the album, as will a track featuring Raye.
