“I’ve got so much new music and a whole new side of me to get to know,” the singer confirmed
Coi Leray has dropped a new single, “Wanna Come Thru.” The sultry track, produced by Mike WiLL Made-It, marks her first release for new label Island Records.
“This song is about me on my grown and sexy,” Leray explained in a statement. “Grown and sexy means being so in love with yourself — that it is one of the most sexiest, maturest, grownest things that a woman can do. As you get older and you tap into your womanhood and your femininity and I feel like you should embrace that. It’s feeling good for yourself; looking in the mirror and just loving yourself. 2024 is going to be my grown and sexy era. I’m taking over this year. I’ve got so much new music and a whole new side of me to get to know.”
Mike WiLL Made-It added, “It’s a culture shifting record. The song is just fresh and forward pushing. What I love about it is it sounds simple and easy to digest and instantly puts you in a mood. It’s the best feeling ever to be able to create a song that makes the listener feel good. This is hit number one fasho, we have plenty more on the way. The Ear Drummer/ Trendsetter Way.”
Last summer, Leray released her sophomore LP, Coi. The 16-track effort featured collaborations with David Guetta, Saucy Santana, and Lola Brooke. She also joined Raye on “Flip a Switch,” David Guetta and Anne-Marie on “Baby Don’t Hurt Me,” and Sabrina Carpenter on “Nonsense,” and her song “Self Love” with Metro Boomin was featured on the soundtrack to Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
In August, Leray shared a new EP, Blue Moon, which featured single “Isabel Marant.” “This EP, I get vulnerable. I got tired of ‘trying’ new things and wanted to just do what I do BEST,” Leray wrote of the release on Instagram. “I have a hard time with telling my story because I get wrapped up in the media narratives, however music is the best way for me to tell it. Sorry I can’t argue with yall on the internet all day. It’s my life, my story, so why not let me tell it? Shit.. at least give me a chance to.”
Leray will perform at Coachella in April, taking the stage during the Sunday lineup.
