Lady Wray

February 23, 2023 7:36 PM

Debuting as a teenager with the Missy Elliot and Timbaland produced Make it Hot in 1998, a number of shelved projects meant Nicole Wray's next album would take more than a decade to appear as part of a duo with Terri Walker, Lady (2012). That was followed by solo albums Queen Alone (2016) and Piece of Me (2022). Earlier this month, she appeared on Tiny Desk Concerts. There's also an earlier appearance on KEXP.

I love her so much. The single for “Come On In” killed me when I first heard it. I listened to it on repeat for days.

Thanks for sharing this! I'm new to Lady Wray and the Tiny Desk Concert is blowing my mind. Ridiculous amounts of talent packed into that little room.

She makes my heart shine! Glad too see when she gets some well deserved attention. Can't wait for when she is in the neighborhood!

I got very confused when I saw Lady mentioned, though I would watch the hell out of that tiny desk concert.

this is great, and a blind spot for me

my exposure to music is down to MeFi and random moments in a vehicle with the radio on
