RAYE has announced the release of her highly anticipated new album, THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE, which will arrive on 27th March 2026.
The project will be available to pre-order now and is described as a conceptual body of work structured around four “seasons,” with each side of the vinyl representing a different chapter. According to RAYE, the album takes listeners on a journey from darkness into light, reflecting themes of healing, resilience and emotional renewal.
Speaking about the record, RAYE said:
“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 announcement follows a major period of momentum for the singer-songwriter. RAYE has just received two BRIT Award nominations for Song of the Year and Best Pop, driven by the success of her recent UK No.1 single WHERE IS MY HUSBAND! The track has surpassed 600 million streams globally, achieved Platinum status in the UK, and charted in the Top 10 across multiple territories, including Australia, Canada, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands. It has also broken into the Top 20 of the US Billboard Hot 100.
RAYE is currently on the road for her 51-date sold-out arena run, THIS TOUR MAY CONTAIN NEW MUSIC, joined by support acts ABSOLUTELY and AMMA. The tour includes arena dates across the UK and Europe, featuring six sold-out nights at London’s The O2, before continuing to North America with shows at venues such as Radio City Music Hall and the Greek Theatre.
Later this summer, she will also join Bruno Mars as a special guest on his The Romantic Tour, performing across 27 stadium dates in the United States.
