In an earlier interview with Rolling Stone Australia, when asked about plans for a debut album, LaRosa responded, "Well I have lots of plans for many things. I'm keeping lots of secrets let's just say that."{{cite magazine |last=Griffiths |first=Neil |date=February 19, 2025 |title=Isabel LaRosa Talks Debut Australian Shows, TikTok and New Music |url=https://au.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/isabel-larosa-talks-debut-australian-shows-72438/l/love-music/ |access-date=May 23, 2025 |magazine=Rolling Stone Australia}}

In a statement about the album, LaRosa explained the personal significance behind its title, Raven. She expressed a longstanding fascination with ravens and crows, noting that the bird also holds regional importance due to the Baltimore Ravens, a sports team from her hometown in Maryland. According to LaRosa, the title encapsulates the album's overall tone, describing it as "dark and moody," while also maintaining a personal and emotional resonance. She described Raven as "a perfect representation" of herself.

To support the album, LaRosa is set to embark on her headlining Psychopomp Tour, with scheduled performances in cities including Boston, Nashville, Los Angeles, and Dallas.{{cite magazine |last=Slingerland |first=Calum |title=Isabel LaRosa to Play Canada on North American Tour |url=https://exclaim.ca/music/article/isabel-larosa-to-play-canada-on-north-american-tour |magazine=Exclaim! |date=February 14, 2025 |access-date=May 23, 2025}} She is also slated to perform at major music festivals such as Lollapalooza in Chicago and Governor's Ball in New York City.{{cite magazine |last=Croteau |first=Hannah |title=Isabel LaRosa announces her debut album 'Raven' |url=https://www.melodicmag.com/2025/03/25/isabel-larosa-announces-her-debut-album-raven/ |magazine=Melodic Magazine |date=March 25, 2025 |access-date=May 13, 2025}}{{cite magazine |last=Ortega |first=Hannah |title=Isabel LaRosa transforms Orlando into a dark-pop dreamscape on the Psychopomp tour |url=https://www.melodicmag.com/2025/05/03/isabel-larosa-transforms-orlando-into-a-dark-pop-dreamscape-on-the-psychopomp-tour/ |magazine=Melodic Magazine |date=May 3, 2025 |access-date=May 23, 2025}}

Jason Lipshutz of Billboard praised Raven as a strong debut, noting that LaRosa "makes good on the promise of her early singles." Highlighting her "breathy vocal delivery" and a talent for selecting "propulsive, alternative-leaning production," he wrote that LaRosa distinguishes herself in a crowded pop landscape and "should be moving upward from here."{{cite magazine |last=Lipshutz |first=Jason |title=Friday Music Guide: New Music From Morgan Wallen & Post Malone, Addison Rae, Lana Del Rey & More |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/friday-music-guide-morgan-wallen-post-malone-addison-rae-1235950026/ |magazine=Billboard |date=April 18, 2025 |access-date=May 23, 2025}}
