Arin Ray is back with his new single “Sweet Thang,” available now on all major streaming platforms. The track marks the first taste of LIMBO, his forthcoming EP arriving later this summer, and finds the Cincinnati native at his most magnetic, weaving smooth, confident vocals over a groove-driven backdrop that sits squarely at the intersection of contemporary R&B, soul, and hip-hop.
In celebration of the release of “Sweet Thang” and ahead of his forthcoming EP LIMBO, Arin Ray has announced an eight-city North American headline tour kicking off this September. The run will bring his signature blend of soulful vocals and intimate live performances to fans across the U.S.

The announcement arrives as Arin Ray ushers in a new era with “Sweet Thang,” the first offering from LIMBO, a project that explores love, uncertainty, growth, and the emotional in-between spaces that define life’s most transformative moments. Following an intimate preview performance at Verse in Los Angeles, the forthcoming EP and accompanying tour promise an immersive experience from one of modern R&B’s most compelling voices.
Ray first broke through with his major-label debut Platinum Fire, before earning widespread critical praise with Phases II. His pen has extended well beyond his own catalog, with songwriting and collaborations spanning Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj, Kehlani, Cordae, and Terrace Martin. In 2022, he released his sophomore album Hello Poison, a 15-track project featuring Ari Lennox, VanJess, Blxst, Ty Dolla $ign, and Terrace Martin, to strong reviews, followed by a North American headline tour of the same name.
With over 370 million streams across platforms and placements on Spotify’s Are & Be and Apple Music’s R&B Now, Ray remains one of modern R&B’s most consistent and respected voices.
“Sweet Thang” is available now on all streaming platforms. LIMBO is coming later this summer.
