We are only halfway through 2018 and Nicole Rayy’s year (one that started off on January 1 with the devastating news of her manager and mentor’s loss against her fight with cancer) has turned out to be pretty spectacular. Also in January, Rayy released her single, “That’s What You Get Boy.” In February, she hit the stage with Brett Kissel (on his We Were That Song tour), who really liked what he saw in her; Rayy then garnered a CMAO nomination for Rising Star. Now, on June 15, her new single, Bad Habit,” is available everywhere, just as Rayy heads into the summer festival season. This is the time of year where country music fans are ready for new music from their favourite artists, and Nicole Rayy has want they want in “Bad Habit.”

The power behind her voice in this ballad (and every song she releases) once again proves that this she a force to be reckoned with. It has honest lyrics and a chorus that drives home the emotions of not being able to give up the “bad habit” that you know you should. She sings it right from her heart and it’s a tune that she worked very hard on. “Bad Habit” was written by Sara Haze, AJ Pruis, and Matthew West and produced by Doug Romanow. This song is a follow-up to her sensational hit singles “Fireproof” and “That’s What You Get Boy” that had the country music community wanting more of what Rayy has to offer. She is not disappointing her fans with this one.

In an exclusive for Canadian Beats, Nicole Rayy says,

“This song is so special to me because it is one that Janice and I picked out together. I wish she were here to celebrate the release of it with me but I hope she can hear it from up above and she is blasting it for all to enjoy! When she was getting really sick she mapped out a whole plan for me to release this song and I’m proud to have put that plan into action, but it is bittersweet knowing I have come to the end of the plans she left for me. I’m really proud of how the song turned out and I can’t wait for everyone to hear it! I hope they love it as much as I do and that it is the perfect song to add to their summer playlist!”

One of Rayy’s “bad habits” is her love for mini eggs; they are her junk food weakness. Two bags were brought to her photo shoot and they were a motivating factor to get that perfect “bad habit” single graphic capture of her. She had a lot of fun at that shoot.

“Bad Habit” is one tune that I know that I will be saying; I “can’t get you outta my head.” It has been an honour and privilege to get to know the music that is Nicole Rayy.
