RAYE’s album drops March 27
RAYE’s sophomore album is set to drop March 27 — the record’s buzz is building after she opened for Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour and fans are already hyped for the release rec.
RAYE revealed the album title THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE in a Jan. 22 announcement. (billboard.com) The project is 17 tracks long, according to the official listing. (en.wikipedia.org) It’s structured into four distinct “seasons,” with each side of the vinyl representing one of those acts. (billboard.com) Lead single “WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!” climbed to No. 1 on the U.K. Official Singles Chart. (officialcharts.com) The chart-topping run made it RAYE’s second U.K. number‑one single following “Escapism.” (billboard.com) The publicly released tracklist names high-profile guests including Hans Zimmer and Al Green, alongside family contributors credited as Amma, Absolutely and “Grandad Michael.” (rollingstone.co.uk) Producer Mike Sabath — who co‑wrote and produced much of the new material — told MusicRadar he began tracking parts of the record at an Airbnb with “two speakers, keyboards and a vocal mic.” (musicradar.com) He also said the single’s reaction drew attention from peers, with Mark Ronson reportedly DM‑ing about the project. (musicradar.com) RAYE performed on the Eras Tour’s final London night at Wembley on Aug. 20, 2024, and later posted a handwritten thank‑you note she received from Taylor Swift. (parade.com) Her own 2026 headline run, This Tour May Contain New Music, lists North American stops including Radio City Music Hall and multiple O2 dates in London. (usshop.rayeofficial.com)
