OUT ON FEBRUARY 21, 2025 VIA MARION MURATA (CANADA)
PRE-SAVE SAYA HERE
“a new self-sufficient artistic voice that’s bound to push, jolt and reinvent” - Dazed
“her production is alert, hyper-detailed and surreally unpredictable, segueing among ticking electronics, syncopated indie-rock, spacey vocal chorales, distorted guitars and what might be a koto.” - The New York Times
“collaging R&B and alt-rock into interdimensional pop” - Pitchfork
“if the singles are anything to go by, the record will be one of the best debuts of 2025.” -Wonderland

Today, Saya Gray announces a lengthy run of upcoming tour dates across Europe and North America. Ticket presale sign up is available now via her website HERE and begins Wednesday, January 22 at 10 AM local time. General on sale begins Friday, January 24. This is only Saya’s second tour across the world following a completely sold out run last year.
To accompany the big news, she also unveils a new single “LIE DOWN..” and a music video as a precursor to her debut album SAYA out February 21, 2025 via Marion Murata in Canada, which was listed as one of Exclaim!’s Most Anticipated Albums of the year.
Her most expansive tour to date kicks off on April 9th at Paradiso Noord in Amsterdam and stops in major cities including Berlin, Paris, and London, before making its way to the US. Saya begins her North American run in Chicago at Lincoln Hall on April 29 and also visits Toronto, Montreal, New York, and Los Angeles to name a few. Full routing can be found below.
Saya Gray continues her meteoritic rise in 2025 with “LIE DOWN..,” one of her most pared down releases, putting emphasis on her layered, lush vocals and whimsical, thumping bass line. The track is accompanied by a gorgeous visualizer evocative of film noir and fitting for a ruminative song about death and unrequited feelings. The music video was directed by longtime creative collaborator Jennifer Cheng.

Gray began work on SAYA following the dissolution of a troubled romantic entanglement; she booked a flight to Japan in Autumn of 2023, and like a feel-good movie protagonist, detangled herself from the outstanding psychic ties by journeying solo on a cross-country road trip. Moved by the vastness of albums by the Beatles and Led Zeppelin, as well as her Canadian folk forebear, Joni Mitchell, Gray kept an acoustic guitar in the passenger’s seat, just in case inspiration would strike. In recording SAYA, Gray sanded and fine-tuned the rough edges of records past into more cohesive works of melodic folk songcraft.
