The highly anticipated album will contain 17 tracks, including her latest release “Where Is My Husband!” and will be set in four different “seasons” that will span the complexities of human emotion. The “seasons” will not only be integrated into the music, but they will also be featured on each side of the vinyl release.

RAYE describes the upcoming album, stating:

“Music is medicine, I’ve always said that. I guess I’m in the process of making medicine for myself that I can share with the world. I want us all to say to ourselves that it’s going to be all right, and I’m going to have faith in the seeds that I’ve planted beneath the snow. I wanted to create something that is a hug, bed or soft place for that person who needs it.”

Along with the announcement, RAYE has just embarked on her headlining tour titled THIS TOUR MAY CONTAIN NEW MUSIC. The tour will run until May 20, boasting over 50 sold-out show dates. RAYE will also support Bruno Mars during his The Romantic tour and co-headline Reading Festival 2026 in August.
