A New Day at Midnight, David Gray's sixth studio album, came out on 28 October 2002 in the UK on East West and IHT, and in the US that November on ATO and IHT. It arrived with Gray at the peak of his fame and in mourning: the record is dedicated to his father, Peter, who died of cancer in 2001.
Iestyn Polson produced, and the sound is hushed and reflective, built around that cracked, keening voice. It went straight in at No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart and stayed on the chart for 49 weeks, and despite mixed reviews it went platinum four times over. "The Other Side" and "Be Mine" were the singles, peaking at No. 35 and No. 23. Oddly, a song called "A New Day at Midnight", written about the birth of his first daughter, Ivy, came out of the sessions but was left off the album.
