RAYE opens a new chapter with ‘THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE.’

On March 27, four-time GRAMMY Award®-nominated global superstar RAYE released her highly anticipated sophomore album, THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE., available now on all streaming platforms via Human Re Sources. STREAM HERE // PURCHASE HERE.

With 17 songs and over an hour of music, the monumental body of work encapsulates RAYE’s artistic world. The album unfolds in four “seasons,” with each side of the vinyl representing a different chapter in a sonic journey that moves from darkness to light.

Speaking on the album, RAYE shares: “Music is medicine, I’ve always said that. I guess I’m in the process of making medicine for myself that I can share with the world. I want us all to say to ourselves that it’s going to be all right, and I’m going to have faith in the seeds that I’ve planted beneath the snow. I wanted to create something that is a hug, bed or soft place for that person who needs it.”

After the release in September of the first single “WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!,” which made phenomenal waves online and already counts more than 647 million streams on Spotify alone, we knew we were in for a ride, and fans couldn’t be more excited for what was about to come. Last month, she unveiled the soaring ballad “Nightingale Lane.” and last week, “Click Clack Symphony.,” created with Hans Zimmer and accompanied by a cinematic music video directed by Dave Meyers. With these three singles, we could see how the album would unfold. THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE. opens up with “Intro: Girl Under The Grey Cloud.,” where RAYE speaks over an instrumental that feels lifted from a French film noir, immediately pulling us into a cinematic and deeply personal masterpiece. Blending pop, R&B, jazz, big band, soul, and orchestral influences, the 17-track album unfolds like a technicolor drama of modern life, balancing moments of darkness with an undercurrent of defiant optimism.
