Australian singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Jack Gray's highly anticipated debut album, Swimming In Jeans, is finally out.

The 12-track collection ruminates on the recklessness of youth and Grey's experiences as a twentysomething making his way in the world.

To celebrate the release, Gray is dropping an official music video for his new single 'Blind Love' on his YouTube channel at 3pm AEST.

Recorded with friend and collaborator Gabe Yaron, the song is about the giddiness of young love, with the music video filmed in Italy with directors The Matthew Brothers, who worked with Gray on the videos for singles 'Bluffin' and 'Look At You'.

'Blind Lovin' is the final single from Swimming In Jeans, following the success of 'Safe Space', 'Look At You', 'Drive Her Home', 'Bluffin', 'Tattoos' (co-written with Peach PRC) and the album's title track and debut single 'Dumb Shit'.

The singles have garnered an incredible 3.6 million streams, with Swimming In Jeans landing as Gray prepares for the final two shows of his Australian tour this weekend in Sydney and Brisbane, both of which are sold out.

He's also announced two special in-store appearances at Cotton On Bondi Junction in Sydney on Saturday 12 September 12 and Cotton On Mackay in Mackay on Sunday 13 September 13.

It's been a huge 12 months for Gray, who recorded Swimming In Jeans using songs he'd written across the past three years. Recorded in studios both in Australia and overseas, Gray was responsible for producing almost the entire album, not only singing, but also playing guitar, bass, drums, synth and piano.

Along the journey, he's also performed shows across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, the US, Europe, Southeast Asia and Canada and shared stages with the likes of Tate McRae, Daniel Seavey, Matt Corby, and Good Neighbours.

As he winds up his Australian tour, Gray is heading to Reeperbahn Festival in Germany before joining In Color for selected dates across the US and Canada.

Swimming In Jeans is out now via Island Records Australia. Listen here.
