英國曼徹斯特的創作才子David Gray于1993年踏進唱片界，連出三張專輯卻不見起色，98年卯起來蓋錄音室，開設IHT音樂品牌自我行銷，這位被民謠歌手Joan Baez稱贊為“自Bob Dylan以來，樂壇最佳詞曲創作者”的年輕人終于以專輯《White Ladder》的沸騰口碑沖破音樂廠牌的商業機制，《White Ladder》蟬連英國金榜6周冠軍，光在英國一地就賣出220萬張，并在TOP40駐留超過100周以上，更躍升為愛爾蘭有史以來最暢銷的歌手專輯（不包括合輯）。2000年，透過Dave Matthews自組的ATO音樂廠牌引進美國市場，專輯輕松賣過200萬張。2002年更入圍格萊美獎最佳新人獎，David Gray真誠、簡單、深刻的唱作風格樹立了新時代的才子典范。

Foundling is the ninth studio album by English singer-songwriter David Gray. The double album is set to be released on 16 August 2010 in the United Kingdom, and on the following day in the United States by Mercer Street/Downtown Records. Foundling was announced after plans for a reissue of his preceding album Draw the Line were cancelled. The re-release was scheduled to include B-sides and unreleased tracks from the Draw the Line sessions, which included "A Moment" (released as the first single under the new title "A Moment Changes Everything"), "Old Father Time", and "More to Me Now".

Described as a "private record", Gray states that he has "never taken the dynamics [as] low as I have done on this record. I had to have faith in writing and understatement – the things I hold as my strengths. I'm as proud of it as anything I've done." Gray's commercial expectations, however, are low: "This record is going to disappear off the face of the earth, bar some freak occurrence".
