The British powerhouse delivers a luminous performance of “Joy” from THIS ALBUM MAY CONTAIN HOPE — joined by her sisters for a final Colbert‑era moment.
RAYE made it just in time — slipping onto the Ed Sullivan Theater stage right before the lights forever dim on late night at The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.
A compact side edit for a performance moment that lands tender, towering, and built on pure emotional release.
Hope, ache, and full voice
The mood here is all lift after the bruise. Big feeling, soft light, and the kind of vocal control that makes vulnerability feel almost architectural.

Performing our preferred non‑single album cut, “Joy” from her latest LP THIS ALBUM MAY CONTAIN HOPE, RAYE razzled and shined in a yellow floral‑themed dress, radiating warmth and emotional clarity.
Supported by a full band and joined by her very own sisters, the performance felt intimate yet expansive — a family‑rooted moment wrapped inside a historic late‑night farewell. RAYE’s voice soared, cracked, and glowed in all the right places, turning “Joy” into a living, breathing prayer of gratitude and release.
It’s a performance that feels like a send‑off, a celebration, and a soft landing all at once.
