THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE.
by RAYE
THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE. by RAYE is the second studio album by the British singer songwriter, released on 27 March 2026 via Human Re Sources.
THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE. is an ambitious and deeply personal opus that finds RAYE at her most fearless and emotionally expansive. It marks a bold evolution for the South London native, transforming heartbreak, self-doubt, and personal turmoil into a cinematic exploration of resilience and renewal. 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. The result is an immersive, emotionally charged body of work that positions hope not as naïve idealism, but as something hard-earned, fragile, and ultimately transformative.
On 3 April 2026, RAYE celebrated her first Official Number 1 album with THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE.
