Last year, Grant shared his newest album, \u2018The Art Of The Lie\u2019,<\/a> and took it on tour. \u2018The Art Of The Lie\u2019 started coming together in 2022, when he met producer Ivor Guest (Grace Jones<\/a>,\u00a0Beyonc\u00e9<\/a>) at Meltdown Festival. Describing the album\u2019s sound, Grant has compared it to Vangelis\u2019 score for\u00a0Blade Runner<\/em>, or \u201cthe\u00a0Carpenters<\/a>\u00a0if\u00a0John Carpenter<\/a>\u00a0was also a member\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe clothing that it\u2019s dressed up in makes it more palatable,\u201d he added. \u201cIt helps
\nthe bitter pill go down. Music and humour are how I\u2019ve always dealt with the dark side of life. Come to think of it, it\u2019s how I deal with the good side too.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a four-star review of his 202 album \u2018Boy From Michigan\u2019, <\/a>\u00a0NME\u00a0<\/i>wrote: \u201cIn terms of subject matter, \u2018Boy From Michigan\u2019 is among the heaviest albums of Grant\u2019s career \u2013 a discography that\u2019s hardly lacking in weight \u2013 yet it\u2019s never remotely stifling. At every corner there\u2019s a witty aside, a gleefully weird vocal effect, a gorgeous descriptive phrase or a moment of biting tenderness.\u201d<\/p>\n
