With “Raw Honey,” Honey Bxby delivers a statement of identity: unfiltered, bold, carefree, open, and honest, just like her. The rising New Jersey artist cements her style with a sound that blends sweet with savage, sensual with painful, and intimate with unapologetic. The result is “Raw Honey,” an 11-track body of work that knows when to caress and when to cut, standing out as one of the freshest and most daring releases in today’s R&B scene.
From the opening track to the closer, “Laying in His Bed,” Honey invites listeners to flip through her diary page by page. The production is diverse but never overwhelming, giving her voice room to lead. There are standout features—Coi Leray, Toosii, Wesley Franklin—but the spotlight always returns to her: an artist who knows exactly what she wants to say and how she wants to say it.
Tracks like the anthem “LEFT EYE” embody that explosive moment when someone keeps playing with your emotions until you snap. And then there's “Broken Mirrors,” one of the most vulnerable songs on the project, offering a raw glimpse into what it feels like to hit emotional rock bottom—also one of Honey’s most personal tracks.
The production moves freely between psychedelic textures, sultry beats, and minimalist arrangements. Songs like “3AM” ft. Toosii leans into late-night subtlety, while “Fall in Line” and “Tricks For You” bring out her most bossed-up energy. That constant duality is what makes “Raw Honey” so compelling. Honey Bxby doesn’t choose between being hard or soft—she’s both, unapologetically.
This is an album made to empower women. To remind us that we all go through emotional rollercoasters, difficult situations, mental struggles, joy, anger, and confusion. It’s an honest album, made without pretense, meant to acknowledge what we carry inside and help us accept it and accept ourselves.
In Honey’s own words, this project is “sweet but savage.” And she couldn’t have said it better. “It’s soft and vulnerable, but I’m still talking my shit. I wanted it to feel real, like you’re right there in the room with me. Every song is a mood,” she adds.
“Raw Honey” dares to show every crack, every excess, every desire, and every doubt—without apology. Honey Bxby is not an artist who plays it safe. She shines by daring to be herself, fully and fiercely. And if anyone doubted her place in R&B, this record leaves no room for question: Honey is here to stay.
