Life In Slow Motion - David Gray

'Life In Slow Motion' is a justly poetic titled album considering its content. This is English Singer David Gray's 7th album after his last one (A New Day At Midnight) was virtually ignored. As a die hard fan of White Ladder (the album that brough Gray real acclaim), I was concerned whether he could really pull it off again. The album starts of slowly but well with the single 'Alibi': this song has a real live concert feel to it; strings and piano ...
...fat musical climax at the end. The album continues with a slightly more contempory sounding 'The One I Love'(also a single). In my opinion this song is the stronger of the two so far. It has a very romantic/hippie ballad feel and the subtle guitar in this is lovely. It also has some really nice percussion features teamed with some lovely violin playing. The song is a bit Del Amitri in feel, and has a slow building happiness to it. By the third song ...

Review of Life In Slow Motion - David Gray

...only with the release of Life In Slow Motion that David Gray has truly cemented his 8 year move from acoustic obscurity to a true musical star. From the moment Life in Slow Motion begins, you know that the album's going to be a good'un - the opening, faint, tinkling notes of the first track 'Alibi' slowly fade to silence before an explosion of the unique vocal stylings of Gray. This is followed by 'The One I Love', the first single released from ...
...songs. Its catchy tune, powerful voice and instrumentation are reminiscent of the great success of 'Babylon' and 'Be Mine'. It is in fact hard to pick out many songs which stand out above the rest on this album due mainly to the high quality of all of the tracks. This is not to say, however, that all of the tracks are 'samey' in the least. For fans of David's more upbeat, tuneful work, 'Hospital Food' (the second single to be released) and to a ...

Review of Life In Slow Motion - David Gray

Hey everyone, David Gray isn't a legend himself, however I cannot say this for his new album, it's full of some wonderful music, with hard hitting lyrics. My favourite songs on the album are... *The One I Love Great song, catchy tune! *Hospital Food Just take a look at the lyrics below, this song has some real style and meaning... Just a little something for the pain Hospital food getting you down? Honey now I'm not one to complain But this ...
...patch me up boys take me home Are you not hearing a word I say? She sounds so different on the phone I just sink like a stone Back to the bay Tell me something Tell me something I don't already know Tell me something Tell me something I don't know ...These are just some of the song, it has a wonderful instrumental presence. If you haven't heard david gray he plays music similar to travis, and coldplay - but he is an artist not a band.. anyway, only ...

Review of Life In Slow Motion - David Gray

Slow Motion by David Gray has to be one of my favourite albums. I bought as part of a 3 for £20 deal at HMV a while back so it was a pretty good bargain. I have to say i think it is one of his best albums, i particularly like the single 'slow motion' which is an excellent accompaniment when relaxing with a glass of white wine!! David Gray has a soulful voice which carries you away through the lyrics that he sings so feverently. I wasnt too fond of ...

Review of Life In Slow Motion - David Gray

David Gray - Life in Slow Motion The man with the wobbly head is back with his latest album "Life In Slow Motion". I personally like this album and I think it run a close second to White Ladder which was superb, in fact one of my favorite albums ever! Lets be honest he isn't everyone cup of tea, but he seems to do well with his type of music, its one of those hate it or love it albums. Life in slow motion sees David with his own brand of lyrics ...
...some great tracks, Nice and very easy listening and put a smile on your face. The album has a more intimate feel to it, trying something exciting and creative and has decided to share with his fans. My personal favorite tracks are "The one I Love" and "Slow Motion", "Alibi" and "Isn't No Love" is piano ballads that David sings brilliantly, "Lately" is a gorgeous. The album is a masterpiece of song writing. Track Listings 1. Alibi 2. The One ...
