Raye announces second album ‘This Music May Contain Hope.’ with March release date

Raye has announced details of her second studio album, titled This Music May Contain Hope., which is set for release on March 27 via Human Re Sources.

The record follows the British singer-songwriter’s recent run of commercial and critical success and marks her first full-length project since her debut.

Speaking about the project, Raye described the album as deeply personal and restorative in intent. She 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 comes as Raye continues to build on the success of “Where Is My Husband!,” which reached number one in the United Kingdom. The song has also received two BRIT Award nominations, including song of the year and best pop.

Raye is set to begin her 51-date sold-out arena tour, This Tour May Contain New Music, tonight, with performances scheduled across Europe, the UK and the United States. The US leg of the tour will begin on March 31. She will also join Bruno Mars as a guest on The Romantic Tour, which launches in April and includes stadium shows throughout the summer.
