John Grant Announces New Album ‘The Art Of The Lie’, Drops Lead Single ‘It’s A Bitch’
John Grant, the celebrated musician, has recently made an exciting announcement about his new album, ‘The Art of the Lie’, along with the release of the lead single, ‘It’s A Bitch’. This album marks his sixth studio record and is scheduled to release on June 14th via Bella Union. You can pre-order/pre-save the album now. In addition, John Grant has also shared the dates for his UK and European tour, which is scheduled to take place in October and November. This news must be thrilling for his fans, eagerly waiting to hear him live again. The tickets for UK shows will be available from 10 am on March 20th.
John Grant performed a duet with CMAT at the BBC 6 Music Festival in Manchester earlier this month, leaving the audience spellbound. They performed their collaborative song,” Where Are Your Kids Tonight?”. It was a memorable performance that showcased their incredible talent and chemistry. The lead single ‘It’s A Bitch’ is a highly-danceable electro-funk track that highlights John Grant’s versatility as an artist. It is a perfect blend of catchy beats and meaningful lyrics you won’t resist grooving to.
“It was a blast making this track which is just about having fun with words, synths and dope rhythms and bass lines and also making fun of post-COVID malaise.”
Plus, people get to ponder what a ‘hesher’ is. I loved going to the arcade in the 80s and watching smokin’-hot heshers hold court while playing Tempest, Stargate, Robotron and Asteroids, and while also blasting Iron Maiden and Rush on their Walkmans.”
In 2022, Grant began working on his album” The Art of the Li” after meeting producer Ivor Guest (known for his work with Grace Jones and Beyoncé) at the Meltdown Festival. Grant describes the album’s sound as similar to Vangelis’s score for Blade Runner or “The Carpenters if John Carpenter was also a member.”
“The clothing that it’s dressed up in makes it more palatable. It helps the bitter pill go down. Music and humour are how I’ve always dealt with the dark side of life. Come to think of it, it’s how I deal with the good side too.”
