Coi Leray has announced MULTI, her third studio album, arriving February 26, 2027. The announcement came November 6 alongside “Spin Back,” a dance-driven single that begins the album campaign. The project will be her first full-length release since she signed with Epic Records in 2025, following the label’s introduction of her new chapter with the What Happened To Forever? EP.
The album title points to the central idea Leray has described for the project: an artist can move between styles and identities without settling into one fixed version of herself. Its first single brings that idea into focus through a melodic, dance-oriented sound and a relationship story built around the possibility of returning to someone after a breakup.
“Spin Back” opens the campaign
Released November 6, “Spin Back” was produced by WhoisRodny, JP Beatz and J Roc Stream. Its dance-forward production gives Leray a setting for a song about revisiting a relationship that has already ended. Rather than presenting a straightforward celebration of romance, the track centers on the pull of a past connection and the question of whether to return.
That tension makes the single a pointed introduction to MULTI. Its sound leans into rhythm and melody, while its subject leaves room for uncertainty and vulnerability. The combination reflects the album’s stated interest in holding contrasting qualities together, including confidence and openness.
“Spin Back” also follows a run of 2026 collaborations that placed Leray in different musical contexts. Together, those releases offer a preview of the range she says will shape the album, though they do not establish a full tracklist or reveal how the songs will be arranged.
Twelve portraits frame the album’s concept
The MULTI artwork presents Leray in 12 portraits, each showing a different look. The repeated image turns the cover into a visual expression of the title: one artist shown through multiple moods and presentations. The portraits align with the campaign’s emphasis on range, confidence, vulnerability and freedom from a single sound.
Leray has described the project as an embrace of who she already is, rather than an attempt to become someone else. “I’m not one sound. I’m not one style. I’m not one version of myself. I’m Multi,” she said in the album announcement.
Motherhood is also part of the project’s stated perspective. Leray has described the album as making space for being a mother and a performer, as well as for softness and strength. The framing presents those identities not as opposing sides, but as parts of the same life and artistic point of view.
The album is described as moving among rap, melody and dance, with a broader palette that includes different genres and moods. “Spin Back” provides an early example of that movement. Further details, including a complete tracklist, have not been announced.
The path to MULTI
MULTI follows Trendsetter, released in 2022, and Leray’s self-titled album Coi, released in 2023. Those records came as she developed a sound that moves between rap and melody, with tracks that bring her vocals and rhythmic delivery into different roles.
One of her most widely recognized releases from that period is “Players.” The 2023 hit reached the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 and earned Leray a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Performance. Its chart performance and nomination marked a major point in her career, while the song’s success gave a broad audience an entry point into her music.
In 2025, Leray began her Epic Records chapter with What Happened To Forever?, an EP that introduced the partnership before the new full-length album. MULTI is the next album-length step in that relationship and the first full-length project she is releasing since signing with the label.
Her 2026 releases have continued to span different collaborators and sounds. “Better Than Yours,” with NBA YoungBoy, reached No. 1 at urban radio in July. “Outside,” with Eladio Carrión, brought another collaboration into the year’s run, while “Nothing Into Something,” with Diplo, moved toward a dance-oriented electronic sound.
Those tracks do not all occupy the same lane. Instead, they provide context for an album campaign that presents versatility as a defining part of Leray’s work. “Spin Back” adds a new piece to that picture, pairing a dance-driven arrangement with a story about emotional return.
Preorders and release date
MULTI is scheduled for release on February 26, 2027. Preorders are open for signed blue vinyl, standard vinyl and CD editions. The formats give listeners a chance to secure a physical copy ahead of the album’s arrival, while the lead single is available ahead of the full project.
As the campaign continues, the album’s confirmed details remain focused on its release date, visual concept and musical direction. No further tracklist information has been announced. For now, “Spin Back” serves as the first complete preview of the record: a melodic, dance-led song rooted in a story of looking back at a relationship that has ended.
With MULTI, Leray is framing her next album around the range she has explored across previous releases and recent collaborations. The title, cover concept and opening single all point toward a project that makes room for several sides of the same artist. The album is set to arrive February 26, 2027.
