A gorgeous listen with a deep, lasting resonance, ‘Hypnos’ finds Ravyn Lenae rising to the challenge of her peers, and raising the bar once more. Her first major project since 2018, ‘Hypnos’ has the feeling of creative release, a sense of emotions expunged and experiences extinguished. Indeed, in spite of its 16-track span ‘Hypnos’ remains an impeccably unified experience, one in which each aspect feels inter-connected, each sound in its right place. ‘Xtasy’ oozes emotion, while the guitar-led minimalism of ‘Mercury’ – with its startling Foushee feature – is a late album highlight. ‘Lullabye’ is a truly stunning piece of music, a zero-gravity slice of alt-R&B that moves from gentle vocal dexterity into something opaque, suggestive, and wonderfully alluring.

Yet the voice that resonates most profoundly comes from Ravyn Lenae herself. A keen collaborator, production credits include work from some of the best in the game, with Kaytranada, Steve Lacy, Smino, Foushee, and more contributing to this complex, multi-faceted project. Renowned for her feathery vocal prowess and delicate harmonies, Chicago-raised musician Ravyn Lenae has released her highly-anticipated debut album, Hypnos. Opening with ‘Cameo’ – a song that feels like a direct homage to the 80s electro-funk group of the same name – new album ‘Hypnos’ is marked by creative dedication, and Ravyn’s finely honed curatorial abilities.
