“showstopping musical maximalism at its grandest”
THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE.
“The British star delivers a 73-minute autobiography of romantic despair and nonstop emotional turmoil. It’s a lot — and all the better for it”
My 21st Century Blues
“RAYE closes her debut album by thanking her nearest and dearest. Celebrating the friends, family and collaborators who supported the making of the record, she explains on ‘Fin’: “I’ve waited seven years for this moment, and finally ‘My 21st Century Blues’ is now out forever.” It also marks the culmination of the arduous battle the 25-year-old has faced to release her first full-length album. Afte”

“RAYE opens her heart on her long-awaited debut My 21st Century Blues”
THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE.
“The British singer’s second album is all curated melancholy and aestheticized heartache, winding its way through jazz, orchestral pop, and R&B with melodramatic flair.”
My 21st Century Blues
“The UK pop upcomer put her former record label on blast, then scored her first No. 1 hit. Her debut full-length makes an ambitious but uneven bid for independent stardom.”
THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE.
“This Music May Contain Hope is the kind of record that doesn’t just play…it lingers. As a fan of RAYE, this feels like the moment where everything she’s been building toward finally clicks into something undeniable. From the first track, you can hear how intentional this album is. The production is cinematic but never overwhelming—jazz, soul, and alternative pop influences blend together in a way that feels both classic and completely modern. It’s the kind of soundscape that lets RAYE’s voice sit front and center, and she absolutely owns every second of it. Her vocal performance here is insane, raw, controlled, emotional, and sometimes all at once in a single verse. Lyrically, this is where the album really hits. There’s a level of honesty that feels almost uncomfortable at times but in the best way. She dives into mental health, addiction, self-worth, and the pressure of the industry with zero filter. You can tell this isn’t just songwriting. It is a release, it is therapy, it is survival. And as a listener, I feel that weight. You’re not just hearing her story, you’re sitting with it. What makes this album so special is how it balances that heaviness with moments of beauty and even subtle hope. The instrumentation will swell just when things feel too heavy, her melodies soften the sharpest lyrics, and somehow you come out of it feeling something close to healing. That’s not easy to pull off, but she does it effortlessly. As a fan, this feels like watching RAYE fully step into her power artistically and personally. There’s no compromise here, no chasing trends, just pure expression. And that authenticity is what makes This Music May Contain Hope hit so hard. This isn’t just one of her best projects. It is one of those albums that reminds you why you love music in the first place.”

“(First Listen Review!) with her new album dropping tonight I had to tune in and wow. Before listening I had only known Oscar winning tears and escapism. However the amount of bangers that lie in this album truly made me realize just how much of an amazing artist Raye is now but also how long she’s been fighting to get to where she is now. For an album that took 7 years to make you can tell the passion poured out of this icon. My favorite of the album black mascara left me speechless with it’s production. And songs like body dysmorphia kicked me so hard down that I was full on sobbing (even if the production tried to not make it as depressing). Raye is something special. Cannot wait for her album this week. Top 3: Black Mascara, Escapism, Ice Cream Man.”
THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE.
“Things I liked about the album: - I appreciate the big swing - loved the production/ orchestra - the Amy shoutout - some songs (Fields. And Joy. my favourites) - the features from Hans Zimmer and Al Green are iconic What I didn’t like about the album: - far too long (a lot could’ve been edited out I feel) - too much spoken word These two things really made the album feel like a drag at times (I also have to mention the album cover I hate it so much) Overall, I love RAYE for what she stands for and I’m always rooting for her. However, I just don’t think I really connected with it as a record. I can however appreciate the sheer work and effort that went into the album and I do think it’ll be loved by a lot of people. (I’m also loving the orchestral revival in pop atm however every album with orchestral influence in it is going to be compared to LÚX - and no album will compare to that)”
THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE.
“HIGHLIGHT TRACKS: Winter Woman. Click Clack Symphony. I Know You’re Hurting. Goodbye Henry. Fields. Joy. This is not just an impressive sophomore album, and certainly not a cash grab album (even though this album will be on repeat) This album dives into not just hope, but the ideas that may give and take it on a whim. Each lyrics holds deep meaning which listeners can easily resonate with through Raye sharing her personal experiences. The classical and human bond-rich production from Raye’s close coworkers and friends enhance the “hope” already present in the project. This album is an experience of battling with yourself through life’s bullshit and having to learn that through thick and thin, there will always be a light at the end of the tunnel. Just one warning, this music may contain hope.”
My 21st Century Blues
“Raye is an artist who has had difficulties in her journey, but thankfully she overcome all adversity to release her debut album ‘My 21st Century Blues’, a genre bending opus with some incredibly layered vocals and lyrics about said adversities. It’s not just about her struggles as an artist but as a female artist. A highlight of the album is ‘Body Dysmorphia’, a song which sounds self explanatory on paper but ends up being deeper than you think with its experimental sounds. This is a remarkable debut album and proves that Raye is the best us Brits have”

“this album may contain grammys, i’m serious such a strong sophomore from RAYE. it feels really intentional, like she knows exactly what she wants to say and how she wants it to land. the range on this is kind of insane too, some songs genuinely feel like church highlights for me were Fields, Skin and Bones, and Click Clack Symphony. she’s just locked in the whole way through honestly i loved it”
THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE.
“Ni tiene melodías memorables. No tiene un ritmo frecuente No tiene una buena letra destacable No tiene una buena fusión de los sentimientos que expresa Y su público principal no es del todo un gran punto general o por otro lado muy elaborado Pero Tiene una buena producción Tiene una buena combinación al momento Y mantiene una estructura estable dentro del mismo álbum”
