Description
.More than twenty years on from the release of White Ladder, David Gray’s fourth studio album which spawned the hit singles Babylon, Please Forgive Me, Sail Away, and This Year’s Love, songs that made their creator a superstar, it remains one of the biggest UK albums of the 21st century. Incredibly, it stayed in the UK top 100 for close to three years, has sold in excess of seven million copies.
Older and wiser, Gray is now back with his twelfth studio album Skellig. It’s a work that’s been inspired by a rocky outcrop that lies less than ten miles from the south west coast of Ireland that bears the same name. When you look at a picture of the island it’s amazing to think it was inhabited by monks for hundreds of years in incredibly inhospitable conditions. His first album in almost two years has been carefully crafted and enveloped with emotion. At thirteen tracks long it is a steady and assured acoustic journey.
