Hotly tipped Irish act Annie-Dog has shared fan-favourite track Please Forgive Me, David Gray. the third single from her forthcoming EP ‘15’ (pre-order here), set for release February 27th. The track is ethereal homage to David Gray’s classic single from his breakthrough album ‘White Ladder’ which remains the biggest selling album of all time in Ireland.

“Like every Irish person my age, I was brought up on David Gray’s White Ladder album. My parents rinsed it constantly, and Please Forgive Me was always a favourite. I made ‘Please Forgive Me, David Gray’ on GarageBand, and, really, I just made it for me,” explains Annie-Dog.

“I didn’t put too much thought into it. And I definitely didn’t think I’d ever share it. I suppose I wanted to insert myself into the song, because I love it. I wanted to be a part of the song’s world. I hadn’t ever properly covered a song before making “Please Forgive Me, David Gray”, and I haven’t since. It’s not usually my bag. I like writing my own songs. It’s what drives me creatively. But remaking somebody else’s tune turned out to be a lot of fun. I‘ve been playing ‘Please Forgive Me, David Gray’ at my live shows as of late, and I’ve been asked so many times to put it online. So here it is. Annie-Dog meets David Gray.”

Fresh from buzzy appearances Pitchfork Music Festival London, Eurosonic and The Great Escape, Annie-Dog is primed to step things up a notch on the live front this year, with a Dork Magazine London showcase tonight (January 22nd), and her debut trip stateside for an appearance at SXSW.

Hopefully we’ll get to see Annie-Dog and David Gray perform the song together at some point. He’s in Ireland this year, make it happen guys.
