Ravyn Lenae: The Voice That's Redefining Atlanta’s R&B Scene!

May 1, 2025
Cristina Santos


 

  In a city best known for its rich musical history,

Ravyn Lenae is carving out her own space in Atlanta’s constantly evolving R&B scene. Born and raised in

Chicago, Lenae’s recent rise to success has not only

solidified her as a unique voice in contemporary

R&B but has also left a lasting impact on

Atlanta’s creative community.  

 

Her ethereal sound, blending soul, and

electronic influences have all resonated

so very deeply with Atlanta’s diverse audience.

Since her debut EP Crush in 2018, produced by

Steve Lacy, Lenae continuously pushes the

boundaries of the genre. But with her debut album

Hypnos, released in 2022, she finally came into the

fold as a force to be reckoned with in the music

sphere. WIth tracks like “Skin Tight” and “Venom,”

Lenae showcased her vocal range and vulnerability,

earning herself the attention of critics and audiences.

 

Atlanta, a place known for shaping icons from

OutKast to Summer Walker, has embraced

Lenae’s artistry. Her recent collaboration with

Atlanta-based producers and performances at

local venues have allowed her to connect with the

city’s vibrant musical culture on a deeper level.

In the process, she’s become part of the city’s cultural landscape that makes it such a creative hotbed!

 

Lenae’s quick success points to a larger trend within

R&B, with artists cross-pollinating between genres and breaking conventions. Not only does her success

benefit her as an artist, but it also opens the door

for other alternative R&B artists looking to make

their mark in Atlanta.

 

As she continues to grow as an artist, Ravyn Lenae

is proving that Atalanta’s influence on music

is much broader than hip-hop & that she’s

here to stay.

Disney+ Pulling the plug on “Tiana Princess series”

By: A. Gilyard

 

Walt Disney Animation Studios has officially announced that it is pulling the plug on the highly anticipated Tiana animated series. A company spokesperson confirmed that the cancellation will result in layoffs at the Vancouver studio, as part of a broader strategic shift.

Originally announced in December 2020, the Tiana series was met with excitement from fans who adored the 2009 film The Princess and the Frog. As the first canonical Black Disney princess, Tiana holds a special place in Disney history—and in fans' hearts.

 

Understandably, the cancellation has left many disappointed, with some fans even creating their own interpretations of what the series might have been.

Despite several changes to the creative team and continued development efforts, the project ultimately proved too costly to bring to completion. However, Disney has emphasized that The Princess and the Frog remains an important property within the company’s portfolio, and Tiana continues to be a key figure in its legacy.

The decision comes in the wake of last year’s news that Pixar and other Disney studios will no longer prioritize longform episodic content for Disney+, following the upcoming releases of Dream Productions and Win or Lose.
