The Profile

David Gray is an English singer‑songwriter whose breakthrough album White Ladder blended acoustic songwriting with subtle electronic textures and yielded the hit single Babylon.

English singer‑songwriter active since the early 1990s; broke through with White Ladder (1998/1999) and the single Babylon; known for emotionally direct pop‑folk, baritone delivery, and the acoustic/electronic balance carried into albums like A New Day at Midnight and Life in Slow Motion; well‑known songs include Please Forgive Me and This Year’s Love.

DeBaser’s reviews paint David Gray as a sincere, English singer‑songwriter blending acoustic pop and folk. White Ladder receives strong praise, while early records like A Century Ends and Flesh are cherished for raw intimacy. A New Day at Midnight is acclaimed for its acoustic/electronic balance; Life in Slow Motion draws mixed notes for ornate strings. Live shows land well with audiences; the Greatest Hits set gets the harshest criticism.
