RAYE reveals concept album THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE for March release

The announcement arrives as the singer-songwriter continues a sold-out 51-date arena tour and two current BRIT Award nominations for her UK number-one single ‘WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!’.

The new collection of songs is described as a deliberate journey from darker tones towards light and framed by RAYE as a personal and shared solace. “Music is medicine, I’ve always said that,” she explains. “I guess I’m in the process of making medicine for myself that I can share with the world. I wanted to create something that is a hug, bed or soft place for that person who needs it.”

The London-born artist’s trajectory has been one of increasing commercial dominance and critical acclaim since gaining her independence. Her 2023 debut LP reached number two in the UK and spawned the global hit "Escapism"; a year later, she made BRIT Awards history by winning six trophies in a single night, including Album of the Year.

Following the conclusion of her own headline arena tour, RAYE is scheduled to join Bruno Mars as a special guest for a 27-date US stadium jaunt tour this summer.
