Life In Slow Motion

Life in Slow Motion gives David Gray's songwriting a broader setting, with piano, strings and a fuller band sound around his familiar grainy voice. “The One I Love” provides the immediate lift, while “Alibi” opens the record at a more patient pace.

Working with producer Marius de Vries, Gray lets the arrangements carry some of the emotional weight without losing the songs underneath. “Now and Always” stretches that approach into a longer form, and the title track closes the album with a quieter sense of distance and reflection.
