David Gray is an English musician whose been active since 1992, although didn't start to get commercial success until 2000 with the rerelease of his fourth album. This one didn't just gain him some success, but exploded his career, breaking records and he still holds today. In 2001, with the success garnered, he released two albums of songs from older albums and unrecorded songs written in that era. In 2002, he released a new album with new material, and while not as popular as the one from 2000, it still hit number one on the charts. His next album came out in 2005, after he took a hiatus due to exhaustion. Critics praised this one as a return to his old sound, but it still had failures, so Gray went on hiatus again for 2006. For the next while we only saw performances and compilation albums from him, until his next albums in 2009 and 2010. After that he went silent again until signing to a new label and releasing a tenth album in 2014. In 2016 an album of his greatest hits was released, and a spotify playlist was made in the same vein but one that cycles through his songs, changes over time depending on the popularity of the song through the service. Although this is already a pretty impressive career in overall quantity of music, he's still going strong with another album being released. So give his music a try, because there is a lot more where that came from.
Peace.
