Produced by Ben de Vries and recorded in a makeshift studio two hours outside of London, in Norfolk, Dear Life explores themes of magic, science, loss, and acceptance.
"A lot has happened to me. There’s been change on so many levels, all the ups and downs and dramas and tragedies and joys that the slow movement through life brings. This record has been a reckoning with stuff that’s been building up like static for years. But I say this with joy and a smile on my face. I know what I’ve done is as good as anything I could possibly do,” said Gray, in a prepared statement.
First single "Plus & Minus" is a duet that explores the intricacies of a fractured relationship, with Gray singing with with newcomer Talia Rae, who is opening for Gray during the UK and Europe run of the Past & Present World Tour.
The physical release of Dear Life includes two additional tracks, “The Messenger” and “More Than Anything,” available exclusively on vinyl/CD format.
