Ravyn Lenae Headlines Spotify 2025 Songs Of The Summer Party
Ravyn Lenae celebrated her 'Love Me Not' record at Spotify's 2025 Songs Of The Summer party on Wednesday (July 23) night in Beverly Hills. The intimate event welcomed fewer than 200 people to celebrate the season's hottest songs against a serene, poolside landscape.
Recognized on the streamer's official song of the summer list, the Chicago-bred alternative R&B artist's 'Love Me Not' has taken her career into new territory. Earlier this week, the viral track became Ravyn Lenae's career-first Billboard Hot 100 entry, coming in at a new peak with a No. 7 ranking. The track is featured on her 2024 Bird's Eye album, which VIBE named the 12th best R&B album of that year.
'When I found out I was on Spotify's Songs of Summer, I screamed because that's a list that I've always wanted to be a part of,' expressed the 26-year-old in a statement. 'When I made ['Love Me Not'], I knew that it had that type of feeling, and to have everybody agree with that has been so special.'
From a stage elevated in a swimming pool, Ravyn Lenae charmed the audience with her whimsical vocal skills, adoring personality, and rhythmic dance moves. Before Ravyn's showcase, the platform also welcomed rising act Jessie Murph, also recognized by Spotify with 'Blue Strips' as a song of the summer.
The full list includes 'Whim Whamie,' by Pluto and YKNiece, 'Mutt' by Leon Thomas, 'Dark Thoughts' by Lil Tecca, 'ALAMBRE PùA' by Bad Bunny, and more.
'Our team of editors are constantly monitoring listening trends and cultural signals from around the world to understand what's truly connecting with audiences,' detailed J.J. Italiano, Head of Global Music Curation and Discovery at Spotify.
