This Music May Contain Hope is a completely singular thing. Take it or leave it, Raye doesn’t give a shit.

If you can forgive its The 1975-esque title, there is a lot to get into across the 12 tracks. The former One Direction-er keeps it loose and easy.

Lychee is a lovely slice of chilled out slacker-pop ... It’s a slick yet homebrew set of songs from the New Zealander and well worth your time.

There was a lot of pre-release hype to PAINLESS and on this occasion the actual album is fully deserving.
