THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE
RAYE · Pop/R&B

The Roast
“RAYE paso anos luchando con su sello por libertad creativa y finalmente la consiguio. El resultado? Un album que es 80% genio y 20% 'probablemente deberia haber dejado que alguien editara esto.'”

The Bright Side
Puntuacion Metacritic de 90. Una colaboracion con Hans Zimmer. Un single numero uno en el Reino Unido.
Hardest Sneer
“17 canciones. Diecisiete. En una era donde los albumes se acortan, RAYE miro la economia del streaming y dijo 'absolutamente no.'”

Issues (3)
17-track runtime
Receipt
Over an hour of music. Some songs feel like they exist because RAYE could, not because she should.
Fix
An album this ambitious deserves an editor who is not afraid of the artist. Cut three tracks and this is a 9.
Chapter structure inconsistency
Receipt
The four-chapter concept works beautifully for three chapters and then loses steam in the final stretch.
Fix
Either commit fully to the concept or let the songs speak without the framework.
Hans Zimmer feature
Receipt
Click Clack Symphony featuring Hans Zimmer sounds exactly as extra as that collaboration implies.
Fix
Sometimes restraint is the flex. This was not one of those times, and somehow it still works.
