Helen Smith

Yeah, she's just my favourite.

She's been for a while now.

This is her second studio album and it was released independently, which is really interesting.

I love looking at all of those kind of things.

But it's called This Music May Contain Hope.

And I think it's just the perfect album the world needs right now.

It's super hopeful.

It's a little bit sad, but it's so cinematic.

It really takes you back to, I think, how albums... It kind of sounds more like a movie soundtrack because it takes you through a whole story.

It's filled with jazz.

It's filled with a few collaborations, but the whole track sounds...

Poppy at one point and then it will completely switch and you sound like you're just in this enchanted forest or you're in a jazz bar in like underground like New York or something.

My favourite songs from the album would have to be Happier Times Ahead.

which is so hopeful and so gorgeous.

Ray also kind of speaks things throughout the album and guides you through it.

Another one is Goodbye Henry.

And she starts the song, it sounds really happy and poppy, but she literally starts the song being like, this is a sad song, guys.

Like, I know it sounds happy, but this is a sad song.

And it's just really fun, tongue in

I love the commentary.
