NEW SINGLE “RAIN…”
WATCH/SHARE OFFICIAL VISUALIZER
Platinum-certified R&B powerhouse Queen Naija has made her return with the release of her highly anticipated single “rain...” The track, which arrived alongside an official visualizer, marks her first official release of 2025 and the beginning of a bold new chapter in her career.
“’rain…’ felt like the perfect song to open up with as I’m entering this new era. A blend of sexy and sensual lyrics along with production that hits hard and brings you all the nostalgic feels. I had to remind y’all that no matter how versatile I can get, R&B will continue to run through my veins,” says Queen.
Blending her signature soulful R&B stylings with sleek, modern pop elements, “rain…” offers a shimmering, ethereal soundscape carried by Queen’s unmistakable vocal power. Lyrically, the track sets the tone for her upcoming fall EP, embracing the highs, lows, and complicated in-betweens of love and relationships. “rain…” is more than a single; it’s the first drop in an era that reintroduces Queen Naija at her most versatile, vulnerable, and visionary yet.
“rain…” follows a string of deeply personal releases, including 2024’s “Straight Outta Heaven,” which reflected on her emotional journey as a mother of two, and “Missing You,” a heartfelt tribute to her late friend and bodyguard, Beast. The record comes after her 2023 EP After the Butterflies, which featured standout collaborations with Monica, Ella Mai, Eric Bellinger, and NBA YoungBoy.
The New York Times once hailed Queen Naija as “the first soul star of the social media generation” — a title she continues to embody with more than 6 billion global streams, multiple RIAA-certified plaques, and a catalog of hits that have topped Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart, including “Medicine,” “Karma,” “Butterflies Pt. 2,” and “Hate Our Love” featuring Big Sean. Her 2020 debut album missunderstood also reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
