Gray has established himself as one of the UK’s leading music artists both at home and overseas. Gray’s commercial success is also backed up by a critical consensus and countless accolades. His 2009 release <i><u>Draw The Line</u></i> was met with critical
praise and garnered the artist a series of high profile television appearances, as well as two sold out tours of the US. <u>Foundling</u>, Gray's 9th studio album picked up where <b><u>Draw the Line
</u></b>left off and created a new chapter of lush, soulful songs that found Gray returning to his folk music roots. <u>Foundling</u> debuted at <b>#9</b> on <b>Billboard's Top 200 Albums</b> chart, marking Gray's highest release position of his career and
was met with critical praise by <b>Entertainment Weekly</b> who described it as <i>“all warm arrangements and real emotion,” </i>while <b>USA Today</b> said “ ‘<i>A Moment Changes Everything’ is his most infectious single since 2000's ‘Babylon.’ ”</i></span><o:p></o:p></p>
