David Gray is not one to rest on his laurels; 12 million album sales, the best selling album in Ireland ever with 'White Ladder', a BAFTA nomination for his soundtrack work on Amma Assante's 2004 film 'A Way Of Life'. Two Ivor Novellos, a Q award, two Brit nominations, and a Grammy nomination.
Those laurels, in fact, might not be an actual pain in the arse, but they certainly make him fidget.
Back with his latest album, “Draw the Line” and another world tour, Gray is stepping out of the shadows of his own achievement. The new album has all the classic Gray elements – lush arrangements, sweeping choruses and reflective lyrics, but also a new tone, driven by the vigor of his new band.
'Draw The Line' is the warm, fresh, organic sound of David Gray in a new, revitalised light. He had all the success in the world, and more, but he was hungry for more – not more success, but more feeling. More heart. More soul. More songs. More life. The formula had become a stale and worn one.
"I'd been very introspective for whatever reason," Gray admits. "Partly success, partly things that happened in my life around the time of 'White Ladder'. I guess as a singer-songwriter you're gonna have a little bit of that anyway in your makeup. My previous records were inward most of the time. But suddenly with the song 'Draw The Line' I'd kicked the front door down and I was outside. The world was my oyster: that's what I felt as a writer."
