I can’t help but be captivated by the remarkable ascent of singer-songwriter Tom Grennan. But especially so following the success of his acclaimed sophomore album, “Evering Road.” What’s even more intriguing is Tom’s transformation into a prominent figure for product placements, becoming the face of numerous household brands. This strategic move keeps him in the public eye. Accordingly fostering a sense of familiarity that encourages listeners to develop an affinity for him. To be completely honest, I initially didn’t think I would find myself discussing Tom’s work, as his musical style hasn’t traditionally aligned with my tastes. Yet, here I am, totally entranced by his latest single, “Shadowboxing.” This vibrant track has not only caught my attention but also compelled me to reevaluate my perceptions of Tom’s artistry. It’s fascinating how a single piece of music can shift your viewpoint and challenge your expectations!
After achieving remarkable success with three albums that all secured top five spots on the UK Official Top 40 charts, Tom is poised to make an even bolder statement with his upcoming fourth album, titled “Everywhere I Went Led Me To Where I Didn’t Want To Be.” This highly anticipated release promises to explore a cutting-edge sound in pop. The electrifying track “Higher,” unveiled in September 2024, served as a thrilling sneak peek into Tom’s imminent musical evolution. While furthermore making it clear that he is not one to shy away from innovation. What particularly strikes me however, is the compelling resemblance between Tom’s latest offering “Shadowboxing” and DNCE‘s iconic debut hit “Cake By The Ocean.” In particular showcasing his ability to intertwine familiar influences with his unique artistic vision.
Collaborating with Justin Tranter as an album partner. Tom found a visionary who truly grasped his artistic intentions and the sonic influences he sought: George Michael, Prince, and Freddie Mercury. “A significant portion of the new music is undeniably uplifting—it compels you to dance and sing,” Tom states. This album is not just a collection of songs. It’s an empowering project about self-belief and the courage to embrace risks.
