RAYE has made a shock announcement about her concept album, THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE, set for release in March.
According to the latest report from Line of Best Fit, the songbird has confirmed details of her follow-up album, My 21st century blues.
Reflecting on the intention behind her new body of work, RAYE described music as a source of healing.
“Music is medicine, that’s what I’ve always said,” she said, detailing the emotional core of the project.
The artist went on to explain that the album was born out of a deeply personal need for comfort and recovery, both for herself and for listeners who may be struggling.
“I think I’m working on creating medicine for myself that I can share with the world. I wanted to create something that is a hug, bed or soft place for the person who needs it.”
Elsewhere, RAYE has also spoken candidly about her recent collaboration with producer Mark Ronson.
In an earlier conversation with PEOPLE Magazineshe admitted that working so freely with him required vulnerability and trust.
“It’s kind of hard to allow myself to create with him so freely. But I really just wanted to say, ‘You know what? I just have to forget what anyone else is going to say about this.'”
The singer expressed her long-standing admiration for Ronson, adding, “I absolutely adore this producer. I’ve always wanted to work with this producer since I was a little girl.”
