Title: David Gray: A Century Begins
Review: With the much anticipated follow-up to the hugely successful White Ladder (and his sixth album), David Gray's release of A New Day at Midnight is a monumental offering. With moody tones and eclectic sounds, Gray delivers a compilation of powerful songs that will undoubtedly define 21st Century popular music. His soulful voice and deeply reflective lyrics demonstrate talent. Beyond talent, his youthful energy and unwillingness to rest on his laurels have produced a sound to be reckoned with. Along with his song writing partner and nuclear dynamo Clune, David Gray has outdone himself. Tracks such as The Other Side and Caroline are destined to be classics. This is not White Ladder II, but an incredible contrast that propels Gray's musical vision into the next century. Grab a pint, turn it up, and see for yourself.
