Naomi Raine, Breakout Star from GRAMMY Award-Winning supergroup Maverick City Music, Tackles Mental Health On Her New Solo Album THE JOURNEY..

Hello World,

Naomi Raine is best known as one of the breakout stars from GRAMMY® Award-Winning supergroup, Maverick City Music. Whether songwriting, singing or playing the guitar, she has always found it easiest to communicate to people through lyrics and melodies. Raine’s signature vocals have been heard on the Maverick City Music #1 singles, “Jireh,” and “Promises,” plus the holiday classic, “Revelation 19:1.” Today, Raine embarks on a solo journey, while still maintaining her position with Maverick City Music. Raine’s solo album, The Journey, is available now wherever music is sold and streamed.

Naomi Raine’s TRIBL Records debut full-length album, The Journey, is a collection of transparent and vulnerable deep cuts that detail Raine’s mental health battle in beautifully crafted lyrics. The 22-track album features interludes of Naomi discussing her journey of self-discovery interwoven between musical layers. Her debut solo single, “Not Ready,” showcases the Urban Inspirational sound of Naomi Raine over transparent and vulnerable lyrics – Raine sings of a yearning for the love of God and touches on her silent battle with mental health and struggle in longing for personal change. Raine’s, “Not Ready” is a nod to 90’s feel-good music and will easily become a fan favorite. An undeniable bop – “World on Fire,” the second single lifted, showcases Raine’s lower register and features Ryan Avery.

Currently, Naomi Raine is on the sold-out KINGDOM Tour with Maverick City Music and Kirk Franklin. Naomi Raine has performed with Maverick City Music on the 2022 GRAMMY’s, The Today Show, BET Awards 2022, NPR’s Tiny Desk, Kelly Clarkson Show, and The View; she has also accumulated multiple Stellar Awards, DOVE Awards and a GRAMMY and Billboard Music Award.
