2023 was a stunning year Ray Lozano. With her debut album Pairing Mode, the German-Filipino singer and producer from Cologne and her co-producer Samon Kawamura created a landmark in German-Asian culture, scored over 37 million streams and garnered widespread acclaim, with praise pouring in from Jamz Supernova, WDR Cosmo, and Spiegel Online. Ray’s artistry was further recognized with the prestigious Holger Czukay Award and NICA artist residency, while she captivated audiences with shows throughout Germany.

Her forthcoming EP SILK&SORROW (Spring 2025) is set to take her eclectic lo-fi future soul to the next level: uncompromising, playful, and empowering. Let's be honest: life is a blur of swipes left and right, quick love yous, and ghosting, all while wondering why you're crying over a meme at 2 in the morning. But Ray Lozano? She gets it. SILK&SORROW, isn't just another moody collection of songs—it serves as a mirror for anyone trying to make sense of life in an era that’s equal parts chaos and beauty. The title itself speaks volumes: “Silk” evokes comfort, intimacy, and warmth, while “Sorrow” grounds us in the raw, often brutal reality we’re forced to confront. It's a reminder that softness and pain are inseparable.

Lozano’s storytelling thrives in the details, those quiet moments that hit hardest when you least expect them. Her ability to take the mundane and make it electric is what sets her apart—transforming fleeting moments of vulnerability into something universal, something visceral. Consider this EP your anthem for late-night introspection.
