.@Independent gives “THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE.” a perfect score of 5/5. “I’ll swing round this street lamp and I’ll give you a story…” promises RAYE on This Music May Contain Hope. And boy, does she deliver, with an epic technicolor movie of an album. The artist born Rachel Keen leans hard into the romance of vintage Hollywood melodrama while keeping a witty, modern head on her shoulders. Trad and cocktail jazz, blues, pop, sax solos, Prince-indebted power balladry, silky neo-soul, chamber music, funk, house, hip-hop, and accordion-backed chanson… it all comes pelting round the bends for a series of close-up cameos. Such fearless musicianship sets a stage on which great love can die like a phone battery, toxic south-London loverboys stalk the streets like B-movie beasties and our plucky high-heeled heroine must put on her headphones to dance away her despair.”


NAOMI OSAKA 🗣️: “I’m facing a dilemma. My daughter is very important to me, and I want to be a mother. I want to win titles and be the best player I can be, but I’m not going to stay on the circuit to lose in the first round.” Don't give up, Naomi, keep working to win. 🫶

The Guardian gives “THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE.” a score of 3/5. “And despite the moments that feel de trop, it’s hard not to like This Music May Contain Hope. It is wildly ambitious, in a pop era in which a lot of artists’ ambitions extend no further than maintaining their career. But the end result feels less like a showstopping grand artistic statement than a wild, fascinating, occasionally messy miscellany of ideas. If you were desperate for a classic rock analogy, you could say it’s more Tusk than Rumours, or more Sandinista! than London Calling. Which makes it something of a rare event: you simply don’t get many albums like this in the 21st century, because the climate of the 21st century has led artists to be risk-averse. That’s not a label you could pin on Raye.”

Beauty In Black 'actor', Xavier Smalls says God will not allow the gays into heaven: "Not because he [God] doesn't love you, but he's so holy he can't dwell with unholy people. And that goes for other sinners...not just the LGBT..."
