The Mercury winning star had been working on the follow-up album to debut 'My 21st Century Blues' - which secured her six Brit Awards at last year's ceremony - when thieves are said to have broken into her vehicle.
"No second album anytime soon" read her Instagram caption, in a post that was initially intended to celebrate the star's 27th birthday.
However, the Ivor Novello-winning star instead revealed a cake iced with the words "sorry ur car got stolen".
Taking to Instagram, the singer wrote: "it’s my birthday and my car got stolen with all my song writing books in the boot so no second album any time soon love you bye 🎂❤️ #27"
Raye, best known for her hit single Escapism - which has now wracked up an impressive 881 million streams on Spotify - saw her break-out debut album secure her both public and critical acclaim.
Recent singles have seen the star collaborate with the likes of David Guetta, Cassö, D-Block Europe and Regard.

It comes just days after Man vs. Food Adam Richman has said he has been robbed in a suburb of North London.
The US TV host shared on social media that his entire crew for the second season of his food show - Adam Richman Eats Britain - had their van cleaned out by thieves in Barnet.
"We were driving from Birmingham to London, stopped at a rest, stop in Barnet for exactly 4 1/2 minutes to use the restroom, and came back to our van completely cleaned out.
"All of the filming equipment is gone," he added.
He posted that a reward is available for the items and shared their location - due to trackers - on social media.
However, he is yet to comment further on whether the items have since been recovered.
