Tom Grennan today shares new single ‘Full Attention’, the fourth track to be unveiled from his upcoming album, ‘Everywhere I Went Led Me To Where I Didn't Want To Be’, which is released on August 15th. An effervescent meld of euphoric piano chords, Balearic grooves and stirring, soulful vocals, it captures one of the UK's biggest solo stars at his enchanting, feelgood best.
Speaking about new single ‘Full Attention’, Tom says, “We live in a world full of noise and distraction, heightened by social media on top of the usual demands and trappings of everyday life. We have lost focus of what truly matters, and this song is about navigating that noise and turning it to silence, all the negativity in the world including that of my chequered past. New unwanted noise and old baggage are diminished to nothing in my quest to solely focus on the bright light ahead, allowing me to give my FULL ATTENTION on where I’m going in life and who I truly want to become.”
Keen to explore a new sound, Tom enlisted the songwriter and producer behind hits for Dua Lipa and Chappell Roan and found in Tranter a collaborator who understood exactly what he wanted to say and what he wanted to sound like: George Michael, Prince, Freddie Mercury. “So much of the new music is uplifting — it makes you dance, makes you sing,” Tom says.
“It's about my fight with a side of me I have a lot of trouble with. It’s still a daily battle. But I’ve learned how to fight all these demons and I’m mentally and physically prepared now. I’m in athlete mode.”
Tom Grennan is performing at the AB in Brussels on Thursday the 6th of November.
