Raye: This Music May Contain Hope review  a wildly ambitious epic of unbridled self-expression
"Raye's album 'This Music May Contain Hope' is about an emotional breakdown occasioned by romantic woe, online criticism, and a troubling call from her grandmother."
"The album is a 17-track, 73-minute concept album divided into four sections, evidently intended to be listened to from start to finish."
"It is filled with lengthy, episodic songs that unexpectedly leap from Raye's trademark retro soul into the realm of swing-era jazz."
"Soul legend Al Green appears on 'Goodbye Henry', a sweet homage to the southern soul sound of his classic 70s hits."
