Fresh off the back of her 2024 debut EP Fickle Heart, UK singer-songwriter EVALINA wastes no time in raising the stakes with her latest release, “Raincheck (Not Forever).” Teaming up with producer Courage (the mind behind Ray BLK and Stormzy’s “My Hood”) and co-writer Kierran (known for work with Flo and Cynthia Erivo), EVALINA delivers a stripped-back, soul-drenched R&B ballad that hits with both vulnerability and clarity.
“Raincheck” digs into the moment when the honeymoon phase wears off, and reality crashes in. The track pulls no punches in its reflection on the type of lover who dazzles with charm upfront, only to reveal cracks as time goes on. But instead of wallowing in heartbreak, EVALINA flips the narrative—acknowledging the red flags, refusing to settle, and walking away with her head held high. It’s a sharp, emotionally charged anthem for anyone who’s ever realized too late that love shouldn’t be a project.
With sonic nods to Tori Kelly, JoJo, and rising star Tyler Lewis, EVALINA blends pop accessibility with R&B’s raw, confessional edge, the sound of an artist fully in her element—unfiltered, unapologetic, and unafraid to confront the messy parts of love.
Since her breakout with “Side Effects” in 2022, EVALINA has been steadily carving out her space and her impact stretches beyond her own discography. A sharp pen in the songwriting world, she’s crafted tracks for Felix Jaehn, Nicky Romero, Billen Ted, NOTD, Lost Kings, bbyclose, and INJI, earning the prestigious PRS Foundation’s HITMAKER award in 2024.
With “Raincheck (Not Forever),” EVALINA makes her mark as an artist unafraid to confront emotional truths, while carving out her own space in the modern R&B landscape.
