‘This Music May Contain Hope’ (And So Much More)
Imagine the curtains open. The stage is dark and silent except for sounds of drizzling rain and the echoing clacks of heels on cobblestone. The air smells faintly of cigarette smoke and you can hear instruments shuffling as the performers get into position. Listening to RAYE's new album This Music May Contain Hope felt just like this.
