RAYE<\/a> has kicked off her 2026 tour dates, and debuted multiple new songs from her upcoming album \u2018This Music May Contain Hope\u2019. Check out footage and the full setlist below.<\/p>\n

The show came as the opening night to the South London singer\u2019s \u2018This Tour May Contain New Music\u2019 shows<\/a>, and kicked off in Lodz, Poland, last night (Thursday January 22).<\/p>\n

Just hours before the gig began, RAYE surprised fans by officially announcing her hotly anticipated second studio album, \u2018This Music May Contain Hope\u2019<\/a>. That record is the long-awaited follow-up to her breakthrough, \u2018My 21st Century Blues<\/a>\u2019.<\/p>\n

Taking to the stage at the Atlas Arena, the show began with two brand new, currently unreleased tracks by the record called \u2018Intro: Girl Under The Gray Cloud\u2019 and \u2018I Will Overcome\u2019.<\/p>\n

As suggested from the title, the former has a melancholic undertone, and sees RAYE lean into themes of heartbreak and loss, while the latter takes on a much more powerful, intense energy.<\/p>\n

From there, RAYE went into a rendition of her new single \u2018Where Is My Husband!<\/a>\u2019, which was named as one of the best songs of 2025 by NME<\/em><\/a>, before launching into fan favourite, \u2018The Thrill Is Gone\u2019.<\/p>\n

Another unreleased song followed, called \u2018Skin & Bone\u2019, which leans into more upbeat hip-hop and R&B influences, and shortly after was a new song with a similar energy called \u2018Beware The South London Lover Boy\u2019.<\/p>\n

After renditions of \u2018Flip A Switch\u2019, \u2018Decline\u2019 and \u2018Five Star Hotels\u2019, RAYE debuted another song called \u2018The Winter Woman\u2019, and followed this up later with another unreleased song called \u2018Nightingale Lane\u2019, which is more of an emotional ballad than the other new songs.<\/p>\n
