“Wanna Come Thru” is available now
Multiple Grammy-nominated artist Coi Leray opens 2024 entering a new era, a new label, and collaborating with Mike Will Made-It (Beyonce, Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar) on “Wanna Come Thru.” The track, which is her first on Island Records, comes just ahead of the 2024 Grammy’s which the rapper received two nominations in Best Rap Performance for her massive hit “Players” and Best Pop Dance Recording for “Baby Don’t Hurt Me” with David Guetta and Anne Marie. She’s recently been announced to perform at Coachella 2024 and nabbed a nomination for iHeartRadio’s 2024 Dance Song Of The Year with “Baby Don’t Hurt Me.”
“This song is about me on my grown and sexy,” Leray shares. “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.”
“It’s a culture-shifting record. The song is just fresh and forward-pushing,” adds Mike Will Made-It. “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.”
This new era follows a successful 2023 for Leray with the release of her album, Coi, which debuted on the Billboard 200, and the chart-topping success of her RIAA-certified platinum hit “Players.” The track earned her first Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 with her highest charting single to date landing at No. 9 and dominated the radio with three consecutive weeks at No. 1 on rhythmic radio, No. 1 on urban radio, No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs Chart, and No. 5 on Billboard’s Radio Chart. She continued to make waves throughout the year with major festival performances such as Rolling Loud California, Austin City Limits, Summer Jam and more as well as joining the lineup at Jay-Z’s Made In America and Kid Cudi’s Moon Man’s Landing. Leray also became the voice of the WNBA’s More Than Game campaign ahead of their 2023 season and continues to build her resume in the fashion space with her collaboration with Fendi by Marc Jacobs for their Summer Capsule collection. You can also hear Coi on the big screen, with her collaboration with Metro Boomin on their song “Self Love,” as part of the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse soundtrack.
