Ravyn Lenae - Handle (Official Music Video)
Play / Download “Handle” single Here
American R&B artist Ravyn Lenae makes a deeply felt return with a music video for her guitar-driven new single "Handle" — a release that feels less like a promotional moment and more like an act of genuine artistic expression. The music video carries a strong art film aesthetic, unfolding with the quiet deliberateness and visual intelligence of a short film rather than a conventional music video — every frame considered, every image chosen with care and intention. It is the kind of visual work that trusts its audience, that invites you to feel before you think, and that understands instinctively that the most powerful images are often the ones that leave a little space for the viewer to bring something of themselves. For Ravyn Lenae, an artist who has always approached her craft with a rare sensitivity and emotional openness, "Handle" feels like another step deeper into her own creative world — one that is becoming richer, more assured, and more beautifully and unmistakably her own with every release.

Ravyn Lenae makes dreamy, atmospheric R&B with honey-sweet vocals and psychedelic-tinged production. She arrived during the latter half of 2010s with a trio of EPs which touched on styles ranging from house to synth-funk, with 2018’s EP Crush and its lead single “Sticky” making the biggest splash. HYPNOS, her critically acclaimed debut full-length, was released in 2022 via Atlantic Records, with Steve Lacy, Monte Booker, and Kaytranada among its producers.
The Chicago-born songstress now embarks on a new chapter with her sophomore studio album, Bird’s Eye. The album - executive produced by GRAMMY winning producer Dahi - is heralded by the release of two new songs; “Love Me Not” and “Love Is Blind.”
