Life in Slow Motion went straight to No.1 in both the UK and Ireland and became a commercial and critical success. But more importantly, it marked the moment when Gray reconnected with the joy of making music-building something lasting.

Now, two decades on, Life in Slow Motion is being celebrated with it's first-ever release on vinyl - scheduled for mid-September 2025 to mark the album's 20th anniversary. The reissue will be available in three editions: a standard black vinyl, a coloured vinyl, and a deluxe coloured double vinyl edition featuring unreleased demos and a pair of previously unheard tracks from the original sessions.

The anniversary comes at a moment of renewed momentum for Gray. His latest studio album, Dear Life, released in early 2025, has become one of the most successful of his career - both critically and commercially. It's release has sparked a major sell-out world tour, running from January and continuing through the rest of the year, reaffirming Gray's standing as one of the UK's most enduring and compelling songwriters.

This reissue of Life in Slow Motion offers the chance to revisit a pivotal album - not just a product of it's time, but a body of work that still resonates deeply. Spacious, thoughtful and full of quiet conviction.
