London based rock artist Ophelia Ray recently released her single ‘Heaven Already Knows’ on March 22nd, and it to die for. Having not released any new music since her single ‘Paradise Lost’ in July of 2023, fans have been hungry for more of Ray’s rock ‘n’ roll mystique.

Ophelia’s dulcet vocals throughout the track are nothing short of perfection, and being accompanied by her pre-eminent 80s-esque sound means that ‘Heaven Already Knows’ is a song reminiscent to one of an alluring enchantress. A flourish of raw, spellbinding harmonies ties together the track, with Ray belting out each lyric like her heart depends on it.

“Save me honey, show me the night You’re so pure, all dressed in white.”

Ray’s lyricism is absolutely out of this world, each line compliments the other and creates such a vivid image for the listener.

All in all, Ophelia Ray is certainly an artist to be remembered, whether it be through her ethereal vocals or her distinguished retro sound. Either way, we strongly advise you give her a listen and let her melodies soundtrack your year.
