Raye of Light: The London-based artist hangs out at the tropical palm house in Kew Gardens for our next Notion 83 cover.

Raye is the Ghanaian-English pop star lighting up the charts with her R&B-infused pop and using her platform to champion positive changes for equality in the music biz. For years, Raye (government name Rachel Keen) has navigated the male-dominated world of music production, positioning herself as a voice for all the single ladies and bad bitches alike.

That’s why as Raye readies new music for 2019 and prepares to launch the new Delphiville sneaker from iconic lifestyle brand Timberland, she’s the second face of Notion #83 AKA the Spring 2019 issue. The Notion favourite was photographed for the cover in the tropical palm house at Kew Gardens by Dan Medhurst and interviewed by Chris Thomas.
