Wooooow, it’s a masterpiece from start to the end !!!!!!
It really tells a story and is brilliantly put together, I loved it. It’s not just an album, it’s a proper story, poetry packed with musical references. It’s just perfect, and wow, all I can say is well done for the work 🤍
The production is amazing, the vocals are magnificent, she has an incredible voice and she remains, sadly, a far too underrated artist.
I hope people take the time to listen to the album because it deserves so much attention!
This Music May Contain Hope.

Recent reviews
Raye said she used a lot of words for this album but let me use just as many words to heap praise on it!!!! The vocal and creative power of this woman excuse me!!!!!!!
This album is exactly the kind of record we’ve needed to hear for a long time in this music industry it’s absolutely perfect. The vocals are insane, the production is also incredible and the songwriting is so beautiful, it’s worth noting that Raye wrote her songs all by herself.
She is a true artist and performer who isn’t afraid to take risks and put her knowledge and talent to good use!!
I don’t think we realise what an artist Raye is, she is complete, rich, creative, talented and inspiring in an industry that offers fewer and fewer albums like albums with a big A with a true musical essence
She’s serving up this incredible project on a silver platter literally thank you for everything, Raye <3
I’m so happy to be living in the same era as this woman and proud to have been able to witness her evolution since her first album, which was already perfect
I don’t tend to veer towards this style of music, however the album has been very popular and so I gave it a listen, right from the get go I was shocked, the best introduction to any album I’ve ever listened to, great story some incredible songs but the way the album was built made it
