The first single released from the upcoming debut album is the title track, “All Done.” This emotional introduction to the album references overcoming a particular period in one’s life that was exceptionally challenging. For Gray, it touches on a period of his life where he put everything on hold to support his family. Through thick and thin, he stayed by their side, even at the detriment of his own future. 

The band’s polished, yet raw approach complements Gray’s warm and melismatic vocal style, capturing a sedately powerful sound. Warm piano melodies, echoing instrumentation and soulful, velvet tones set the backdrop for this stunning track, as Gray sings about maneuvering through turmoil. The songwriter confides, “I was closing a chapter of place and time with this song. Since showing others, folks seem to associate the lyrics and general emotion of the song with their individual trying - and sometimes traumatic - experiences that they have endured.” The repetitive line, “all done,” offers an encouraging and supportive statement of safety and affirmation. Gray’s vulnerability acts as validation and support for listeners, giving them comfort and reminding them that they are never alone.
