(1/20/01, 7 a.m. ET) - David Gray will return to the States for another round of dates in support of his latest album, White Ladder, perhaps as early as April. Meanwhile, the London singer-songwriter, currently riding high with the hit single "Babylon," hopes to steal studio time in the coming weeks to work on news songs for his next album.
And finally, Gray also anticipates the release this year of Lost Songs 95-98, an album of songs he wrote during his lean years after departure from EMI Records and before his comeback with White Ladder.
Thus, Gray tells LAUNCH that his upcoming live show should showcase several chapters in his career. "I hope by the time we come on tour here in America that we've got far enough with the songs that I have finished that we can play them live," he says. "So we'll have another perhaps half a dozen things going on in the set. So it would be basically a mixture of White Ladder, Lost Songs, some things from the past, and then some new stuff."
Gray says more U.S. dates might happen in September. After that, he says, "I'm hoping that by October we're back installed in the U.K. and having a little breather before we basically make the [next] record, which I would hope to finish before the end of the year."
