Damien Rice在2003年发行了个人的首张专辑《O》，专辑刚发行，变让Damien Rice红遍了非主流音乐界。成为一位知名的唱作人。同时也让大家重新认识了Damien Rice所演绎的爱尔兰的音乐。

这张新专辑命名为《9》,风格继续延续上张专辑的风格民谣，独流流行和Singer/ Songwriter。

第一支单曲9 Crimes，一首以钢琴为主旋律配带着提琴的忧伤抒情歌曲，继续加上和Lisa Hannigan的女声和唱，专辑开篇便给我们一种熟悉的感觉。

         9 Crimes

      Leave me out with the waste,
      This is not what i do,
      Its the wrong, kind of place, to be thinking of you,
      Its the wrong, time,
      For somebody new,
      Its a small crime,
      And i got no excuse

      Is that alright?
      Give my gun away when it's loaded,
      Is that alright?
      If u dont shoot it how am i supposed to hold it,
      Is that alright?
      Give my gun away when it's loaded,
      Is that alright,
      Is that alright with u?

      Leave me out with the waste,
      This is not what i do,
      It's the wrong, kind of place,
      To be cheating on you,
      It's the wrong, time,
      but she's pulling me through,
      It's a, small crime
      And I've got no exuse

      Is that alright?
      Give my gun away when it's loaded,
      Is that alright?
      If u dont shoot it how am i supposed to hold it,
      Is that alright?
      Give my gun away when it's loaded,
      Is that alright,
      Is that alright with you?

      Is that alright?
      Is that alright?
      Is that alright with you?
      Is that alright?
      Is that alright?
      Is that alright with you?
