Coi Leray Is Head Over Heels On Her New Single ‘Involved’
Coi Leray talks a tough game, but she isn’t afraid to get vulnerable. Her new single “Involved” addresses the mutual affection between her and a lover. She pledges to be discreet through autotuned vocals and a frantic drum pattern but also acknowledges her addiction to the love they share and how it forces her to question why she stays when other women are in the picture. It is a relatable story that is equal parts heartwarming and toxic.
“Involved” recalls a similar message to that of “Aye Yai Yai” from two months prior, a song that is a part of Coi Leray’s debut album Trendsetter. The project was backed by the popular “No More Parties (Remix)” featuring Lil Durk, “Blick Blick” with Nicki Minaj, and “Twinnem.” The LP also included guest appearances from Yung Bleu, HER, G Herbo, Polo G, and more.
In more recent news, the New Jersey artist recently pushed back her tour, which began in early June, in addition to adding dates in both the United States and Europe. The tour is set to finish at the end of August and includes individual shows as well as festival performances. Coi loves to love and she loves the stage, so expect “Involved” to be quickly added to the setlist.

Coi Leray Pushes Back Her ‘Trendsetter’ Tour And Adds More Dates
Fans who have yet to secure their tickets to see Coi Leray on tour are in luck, as the New Jersey artist has pushed back her tour supporting her debut album Trendsetter to kick off on June 10 at Governor’s Ball in New York City. The Monster Energy Outbreak Tour Presents: Coi Leray Trendsetter Tour was originally set to launch on May 31 in San Francisco, but like everything in the music industry, plans changed. No reasoning has been provided, but the 25-year-old is excited nonetheless.
“Trendsetter the album, now Trendsetter the tour! I can’t wait to bring my new album to life on stage every night with Monster Energy Outbreak. Y’all better be ready!” the artist said. It is especially exciting for her as the additions to the tour include international stops in Amsterdam, Portugal, and Ireland plus more domestic stops in Chicago, Detroit, Nashville, and more with a final stop in San Diego on August 25. If that isn’t enough, Coi Leray will be appearing at a slew of festivals, namely Houston Pride, Lollapalooza, and Metro Metro Festival.
Trendsetter was released back in April of this year led by the singles “Twinnem,” “Anxiety,” “Blick Blick” featuring Nicki Minaj, the “No More Parties” remix with Lil Durk, and massively popular “Big Purr” alongside Pooh Shiesty. Trendsetter set the record for the biggest first week for a debut album by a female hip-hop artist in the United States this year.

James Blake, Coi Leray, and More Lead New Sprite Limelight Music Program
Sprite Limelight, a new music program produced in conjunction with an amazing and diverse ensemble of international musical talent, will be hosted by James Blake. Sprite’s new global brand narrative, Heat Happens, portrays the brand as the drink that helps you cool down in the face of everyday heated moments, which is supported by the new music program. Sprite Limelight brings together music fans from many cultures and styles, introducing a new way of creating music that honors each person’s original talent.
The central hook and lyric story will be provided by James Blake and will be based on the Limelight concept of keeping life’s heat at bay. Three unique international artists have used that hook to inspire and construct their own wholly original songs. A single musical starting point is reinterpreted through many artistic and cultural lenses.
“The limelight program is a chance for me to collaborate with artists from around the world in a process that’s new to me, to create a unique song with an empowering message that they can carry through each of their beautiful interpretations. It’s been inspiring to see how each artist took this hook and beat and created something that would never have existed any other way”, says James Blake.
Platinum-selling artist Coi Leray, who has quickly made a name for herself with multiple American Music Awards, BET, and iHeartRadio Music Award nominations ahead of her recently released debut album TRENDSETTER; African singer-songwriter social sensation Omah Lay, whose self-produced track ‘Bad Influence’ garnered viral status; and finally, prolific singer Hua Chen, who has been nominated for multiple American Music Awards, BET, and iHeartRadio Music Award nominations
“As an artist I’m constantly pushing myself to raise the bar when it comes to my creativity. Finding new ways to express myself is so much a part of who I am as an artist, that’s why I’m hyped to be partnering with Sprite on their Limelight program. Helping other dope musicians to not only get through the door, but flourish while shining a light on their individuality through music is something I’m happy to be a part of,” says Coi Leray.
The original content will be available as individual tracks as well as in the form of artistic documentary-style music films on YouTube and Spotify. These immersive “Heat Confessionals,” which will feature artist-tailored playlists for their fans as well as artists’ stories about surviving their own moments of heat through their renowned music, will be created on various music streaming platforms around the world.
“Sprite Limelight provides a unique opportunity for fans to experience new music, through one hook reimagined three different ways. It also offers a window into the way they make music, as well as their own personal experiences – connected to our core brand philosophy – of staying cool in those moments when life’s heat feels intense”, says Shrenik Dasani, Sprite Global Brand Director, The Coca-Cola Company. “In bringing very different artists from around the world together around one musical expression based on a shared life experience, it connects music fans across cultures and borders.”
Sprite Limelight was developed in collaboration with Universal Music Group as the primary content developer and the new OpenX agency partnership with WPP as the amplification partner.
Sprite Limelight content will be available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/c/Sprite and on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/user/sprite2015 from early June.
