Tom Grennan’s weathered vocals evoke a man who’s lived hard—and fast—even though he was just 21 years old when he released his first EP in 2016. The London-based singer/songwriter uses that husky voice to inject some classic soul sizzle into slick modern production that made him the perfect complement to electro music duo Chase & Status on their hopeful banger “All Goes Wrong.” Solo, Grennan combines rock, pop, blues, and dance influences liberally, working with a variety of producers (plus an orchestra and choir or two) on his 2018 debut album, Lighting Matches, to create grand soul-pop anthems for the lover—and fighter—in us all.
