My 21st Century Symphony is the first live album by British singer-songwriter Raye, recorded on 26 September 2023 at the Royal Albert Hall in London. The album spent 3 weeks at number 19 in the UK Albums Chart.[1]
Accompanied by the Heritage Orchestra and the Flames Collective, a 30-member gospel choir, Raye presented a symphonic reinvention of her album My 21st Century Blues, captured in a live recording.[2]
The original album was released in February 2023, coinciding with the success of the well-received song "Escapism". Other tracks on the album, such as "Oscar Winning Tears" and "Ice Cream Man", were also praised for their creative storytelling and emotional performance.[3][4]
On Instagram, Raye shared her enthusiasm for the live recording, calling it "the most magnificent thing" she has ever created, and expressing the hope that listeners will be able to enjoy it wherever they are[5]
The concert was broadcast for the first time in the UK on 3 January 2024 on BBC[6]
