\n\tRAYE\u2019s sophomore album finally has a release date. Titled This Music<\/a> May Contain Hope<\/em>, the Grammy-nominated vocal powerhouse\u2019s new LP arrives on March 27 via Human Re Sources.<\/p>\n

\n\tSet across four distinct \u201cseasons,\u201d with each side of the vinyl representing a different one, RAYE promises that her new album will take listeners across the full spectrum of human emotion. \u201cI guess I\u2019m in the process of making medicine for myself that I can share with the world,\u201d she said. \u201cI want us all to say to ourselves that it\u2019s going to be all right, and I\u2019m going to have faith in the seeds that I\u2019ve planted beneath the snow. I wanted to create something that is a hug, bed or soft place for that person who needs it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t2025\u2019s Mike Sabath-produced \u201cWhere Is My Husband!\u201d launched RAYE\u2019s new era, and the song has already hit No. 1 in the U.K. and climbed to No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100<\/a>, marking the highest-peaking solo song of her career so far. The catchy, big band-adjacent tune finds RAYE doubling down on the jazz influences that colored her debut album, My 21st Century Blues<\/em>, which helped her become the first artist to win six BRIT Awards in a single year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat project, which housed the 070 Shake-assisted smash \u201cEscapism,\u201d also earned RAYE two 2025 Grammy nominations for best new artist and songwriter of the year, non-classical. Last week (Jan. 15), the Grammys announced that \u201cIce Cream Man\u201d would receive the 2026\u00a0Harry Belafonte\u00a0Best Song for Social Change Award<\/a>. \u201cIts bravery embodies everything this award stands for,\u201d said Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr.<\/p>\n

\n\tThough her new album doesn\u2019t arrive for two more months, RAYE has already kicked off her latest world tour, which includes six sold-out nights at London\u2019s O2 Arena (Feb. 26-27, March 1-2 and May 19-20), as well as stops at iconic venues like New York\u2019s Radio City Music Hall (April 15-16) and Los Angeles\u2019 Greek Theatre (May 12-13). Her younger sisters, Absolutely and AMMA, will serve as her support acts.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs if her own 51-date trek wasn\u2019t already a massive undertaking, RAYE will also be a special guest on Bruno Mars\u2019 The Romantic Tour for 27 stadium shows across the United States this summer. At next month\u2019s Grammys (Feb. 1), she\u2019ll compete in the best music film category with her Live At The Royal Albert Hall<\/em> concert movie.<\/p>\n
