'''''This Music May Contain Hope'''''{{Efn|Stylised as '''''This Music May Contain Hope.''''' and in all caps}} is the second studio album by the British singer-songwriter Raye. It was released independently on 27 March 2026 through Human Re Sources. Raye wrote and co-produced the album with various collaborators, including Jordan Riley, Chris Hill, Mike Sabath, Tom Richards, Pete Clements and Hans Zimmer. It includes features from Zimmer, Al Green, and Raye's sisters, Amma and Absolutely. The album incorporates sounds of jazz, big band, soul, blues, and orchestral pop, and explores themes of hope and liberation, and the complexities of human emotion.
The album was preceded by the release of three singles; the lead single "Where Is My Husband!" was released on 19 September 2025, the second single "Nightingale Lane" was released on 27 February 2026, and the third single "Click Clack Symphony" was released on 20 March 2026. The former became Raye's second number-one on the UK singles chart and reached number six on the ''Billboard'' Global 200, while the latter two songs entered the top twenty on the UK charts.
Upon release, ''This Music May Contain Hope'' was met with universal acclaim from music critics, who praised the album's hopeful theme, diverse array of genres, and Raye's vocal performance. It topped the charts in Flanders, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Scotland, and Switzerland, while also reaching the top ten in sixteen countries. To support the album, Raye embarked on a concert tour, This Tour May Contain New Music, which began in January 2026 and is set to conclude in May of the same year.
==Background== Following the release of her debut, ''My 21st Century Blues'', in February 2023, Raye embarked on a two-year promotional cycle, including a world tour.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Cary |first=Alice |date=1 March 2023 |title=Raye Tapped Kenzo's Nigo to Craft Her Custom Tour Wardrobe |url=https://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/article/raye-tour-style-kenzo |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260404012439/https://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/article/raye-tour-style-kenzo |archive-date=4 April 2026 |access-date=4 April 2026 |magazine=Vogue}}</ref> During this period, she released the live albums ''My 21st Century Symphony (Live at the Royal Albert Hall)'' (2023), and ''Live at Montreux Jazz Festival'' (2024)''.''

Throughout the recording process, Raye aimed to maintain a central theme of hope, and to create a project that is "not just for [her]" but to encourage other people to "not give up on life".<ref name="ZaneLoweInterview" /> Raye likened the process of making the album to creating "medicine" for herself that she could "share with the world".<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Denis |first=Kyle |date=22 January 2026 |title=Raye Announces New ''This Music May Contain Hope'' Album — Here's When It Arrives |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/raye-announces-this-music-may-contain-hope-album-release-1236160546/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260404012646/https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/raye-announces-this-music-may-contain-hope-album-release-1236160546/ |archive-date=4 April 2026 |access-date=25 January 2026 |magazine=Billboard}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |date=22 January 2026 |title=Raye Reveals Concept Album ''This Music May Contain Hope'' for March Release |url=https://www.thelineofbestfit.com/news/raye-reveals-concept-album-this-music-may-contain-hope-for-march-release |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260404012813/https://www.thelineofbestfit.com/news/raye-reveals-concept-album-this-music-may-contain-hope-for-march-release |archive-date=4 April 2026 |access-date=25 January 2026 |magazine=The Line of Best Fit}}</ref> In an Apple Music interview with Zane Lowe, Raye discussed the creation of the songs on the album. She explained that she and Mike Sabath took a trip to Big Bear Lake, California, in early 2025, where the pair came up with the tracks "Where Is My Husband!", "Skin & Bones", "Joy", and "Beware.. the South London Lover Boy".<ref name="ZaneLoweInterview" />

The term "sonder" inspired Raye while creating the song,<ref name="ZaneLoweInterview" /> meaning "the awareness that other people all have their own complex set of feelings and experiences".<ref>{{cite web |date=4 April 2026 |title=Sonder |url=https://www.merriam-webster.com/slang/sonder|url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260405120847/https://www.merriam-webster.com/slang/sonder |archive-date=5 April 2026 |access-date=4 April 2026 |publisher=Merriam-Webster |language=en}}</ref> For "Joy", Raye incorporated a vocal loop sampled from a James Brown recording, specifically selecting a section where Brown utters the phrase "Miss Ray, are you somebody?".<ref name="ZaneLoweInterview" />
[[File:Amy Winehouse f4962007 crop.jpg|thumb|upright=0.55|Raye addresses comparisons to British singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse (pictured) on the track "I Will Overcome".|left|alt=British singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse, pictured in 2007.]] Another central track, "I Will Overcome", discusses comparisons to British singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse with the lyrics "And it's funny, some people say I remind them of Amy / Some spit through their keyboards, I'll never amount / And the evil in insults, the arrows from your tongue / Is the same devils you tortured her with". Regarding the track, Raye explained that "everyone around the world loves [Amy Winehouse] now and loves what she created now" but that "she is not here anymore". Raye compared insults she has received to what the British press put Winehouse through, which she labelled as "so evil and so dark", though clarifying that her experience is a "microcosm" of what Winehouse endured. The song is about "encouraging herself" and not listening to the "wicked world that wants to whisper you that you can't and you won't {{sic}}".<ref name="ZaneLoweInterview" />
Raye identified "I Know You're Hurting" as one of the first songs recorded for the album. She explained that during a trip for her 26th birthday in October 2023, she was having a "really real conversation talking about mental health in men {{sic}}" with her band, after which she "got on a piano and said a little prayer" asking for a song "to tell this story really beautifully". The result was her and her band writing the song in real time and ending up with a twelve minute demo. She later decided to address the song as a "letter to her friend who was going through a lot", and stated that the wider purpose of the song is to allow people to "grieve and feel and hopefully come out the other side".<ref name="ZaneLoweInterview" />
The song "Fields" was recorded in London as a collaboration between Raye and her grandfather, Michael. A former songwriter whose work had previously been used without credit, Michael travelled to London to co-write and record the track with Raye. The collaboration was intended to honour his musical legacy and provide him with a professional platform.<ref name="ZaneLoweInterview">{{cite web |last=Lowe |first=Zane |author-link=Zane Lowe |title=Raye: The Zane Lowe Interview |url=https://music.apple.com/ch/music-video/raye-the-zane-lowe-interview/1889440376?l=en-GB |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260404113709/https://music.apple.com/ch/music-video/raye-the-zane-lowe-interview/1889440376?l=en-GB |archive-date=4 April 2026 |year=2026 |access-date=2 April 2026 |publisher=Apple Music}}</ref>

Rob Sheffield of ''Rolling Stone'' dubbed the album a "lavish 73-minute narrative", and John Murphy of ''MusicOMH'' noted its "rare scale and energy", saying it feels designed to be revisited "time and time again".<ref name="RollingStoneReview" /><ref name="MusicOMHReview" /> James Hall of ''The Daily Telegraph'' observed a wide range of influences and commended Raye's "extraordinary voice and quick-fire delivery", though he did note the project "occasionally slips into self indulgence".<ref name="TelegraphReview" /> Steve Erickson of ''Slant Magazine'' wrote that the album "reaffirms Raye's refusal to be pigeonholed into any one genre", adding that even when lyrics verge on cliché, Raye is "refreshingly unconcerned with sounding corny".<ref name="SlantReview" /> Boutayna Chokrane of ''Pitchfork'' emphasised the meticulous arrangements, "immaculate production value", and praised Raye's choice to be "inconvenient" in a "TikTok-driven" industry, highlighting anthemic moments like the brassy "Where Is My Husband!" and the six-minute centerpiece "I Know You're Hurting".<ref name="PitchforkReview" />
Alexis Petridis of ''The Guardian'' found the album to be "a lot" - overstuffed with ideas - and said it "wobbles unsteadily along the line that separates unbridled self-expression from self-indulgence". He criticised lengthy spoken-word interludes and dialogues on tracks like "Life Boat", but conceded that the album "pays off more often than it fails".<ref name="TheGuardianReview" /> Petridis concluded that in a risk-averse era, Raye's boldness stands out, stating "the climate of the 21st century has led artists to be risk-averse", but that's "not a label you could pin on Raye".<ref name="TheGuardianReview" />
