Tom Grennan has shared a new single called ‘Higher’ – you can listen to it below.
The slick and uplifting track is set to appear on the singer-songwriter’s yet-to-be-announced fourth album, which will follow on from 2023’s ‘What Ifs & Maybes’.
Recorded at London’s legendary RAK Studios, the “art pop”-inspired song started with a catchy piano riff.
“The weird thing about me is that I make music in the studio but most of my good ideas come to me when I’m not actually in the studio,” Grennan explained in a statement.
“On the day we wrote ‘Higher’ I’d left the room but I just couldn’t get that riff out of my head. It turned into a melody, which turned into a phrase… I ran back into the studio, with the piano riff still playing, threw my hands up and sang: ‘It’s taking me higher‘.”
He concluded: “Everyone in the room just went: ‘Boom. That’s it’.”

As for what fans can expect from his next era on the whole, Grennan teased: “A lot of people don’t know what’s about to hit them.”
The artist has been working on new material with songwriter and producer Justin Tranter (Britney Spears, Linkin Park, Dua Lipa, Fall Out Boy), who “understood exactly what he wanted to say and what he wanted to sound like”.
A press release cites iconic artists like George Michael, Prince and Freddie Mercury as reference points for Grennan’s forthcoming music.
“So much of the new music is uplifting – it makes you dance, makes you sing – but for me, there’s also the excitement of it being a sound I’ve never explored,” he added.
Looking back on ‘What Ifs & Maybes’ – which gave him his second UK Number One album – Grennan said: “It was the first time I thought: ‘I don’t want to just be a singer-songwriter’. It established the foundation for where I am with this [new] album.”
Meanwhile, Grennan has officially released his full version of the Gillette ‘The Best A Man Can Get’ advertising jingle. “I have finally caved,” he wrote when announcing the song online last month.
This summer, he played his biggest-ever headline show at Gunnersbury Park in London, with Blossoms supporting.
Last year’s ‘What Ifs & Maybes’ contained the tracks ‘You Are Not Alone’, ‘Here’, ‘Remind Me’, ‘All These Nights’ and ‘How Does It Feel’.
