RAYE has unveiled her forthcoming album, ‘THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE.’, which is set for release on 27th March.
RAYE comments: “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.”
The album is divided into four “seasons” with each side of the vinyl representing a different one, offering a narrative journey from darkness to light.
RAYE has not long embarked on her extensive 51-date sold-out arena tour, ‘THIS TOUR MAY CONTAIN NEW MUSIC’, featuring support from her sisters ABSOLUTELY and AMMA. The tour includes multiple dates at The O2 in London.
Additionally, RAYE will join Bruno Mars’ The Romantic Tour for 27 stadium shows in the US this summer.
