Crush is the third extended play by American singer and songwriter Ravyn Lenae. It was released on February 9, 2018.[2][3]
Background
The EP is entirely produced by Steve Lacy, and includes vocals from him.[4][5] Ravyn Lenae described the EP as a coming-of-age project and said "the melodies are different, just my approach to certain topics are more blunt, and that’s a matter of the sound that’s changed, and also me being older. I don’t have to hide certain things anymore in my music. I’m feeling a little more confident in who I am and my experiences."[6]

On December 8, 2017, she released “Sticky” as the first single for this EP.
