Popstar Announces Second Album - RAYE unveils This Music May Contain Hope—her bold new album drops March 2026
RAYE has announced the release of her second studio album, This Music May Contain Hope, set for March 27, 2026. The British artist, known for her chart-topping hits and critical acclaim, continues to build on her success after a groundbreaking few years in music.
RAYE first gained major recognition with Escapism. (feat. 070 Shake), which topped the UK charts and achieved multi-platinum status worldwide. In Germany, the track reached No. 3 on the singles chart. Her 2023 debut album, My 21st Century Blues, explored deeply personal themes and solidified her reputation as one of the UK’s most successful artists.
In 2021, she left her management to take full control of her music, a move that paid off. Her 2024 single Where Is My Husband! also reached No. 1 in the UK and No. 3 in Germany. That same year, she dominated the BRIT Awards, winning six trophies, including Artist of the Year and Album of the Year. The title of her upcoming album, This Music May Contain Hope, hints at a possible shift in sound and lyrical focus. It will arrive alongside new releases from Gorillaz, Black Label Society, Paula Carolina, and Johannes Oerding on the same date.
The album’s release marks another milestone in RAYE’s career, following her independent success and award-winning work. Fans and critics alike will be watching to see how her evolving sound and themes unfold in this next chapter.
