Tom Grenna Have always flirted with the big leagues. Over three studio albums, the Bedford-born singer carved out a reputation as a gravel vote power plant, roaming indie grit and pop accessibility. But on his fourth LP – with his spreading title, ‘Everywhere I went led me where I didn’t want to be’ -The sprinkle kicks down the door to the arena and plants its flag as a full -gas pop star.
Determining 15 arousing tracks, this is undoubtedly Tom’s glossiest, boldest and most steadfast disc yet. Works with Hitmaker Justin Trants (Britney Spears, Raye, Dua Lipa)The album deals smoky bar room intimacy for neon-lit maximalism: thumping chorus, narrow funk-base lines, gospel swells and synthesis that shimmer like strob lamps. It’s Tom Grennan 2.0 – majorThe Brasersand determined to soundtrack your summer.
The disc opens with ‘Full attention’ A lively, radio clear crush that sets the tone for the trip. ‘Boys do not cry’ pushes Grennan’s voice to the beam, a thunderstorm statement on masculinity and vulnerability that lands somewhere between Sam Smith and Freddie Mercury. ‘Dirty dishes’ leaning to playful funk, its baseline remembers Queen ‘Another one bites the dust’while ‘Higher’ Warehouse in gospel decor and soaring hooks asking for festival longs. The surprise bead is ‘Celebrate’A flamboyant, theatrical support that feels grated straight out of Mercury’s playlist – Grennan has never sounded looser, or more fun.

For Tom Grennan, this record is not just sonic resume – it is survival. He has been sincere about heart damage, therapy and sobriety that shaped these songs. The emotional barley is the secret ingredient: During high gloss production there is a proposal, beats heart, turns pain into confetticanones.
At the end ‘Everywhere I went led me where I didn’t want to be’ Feels less like a mouthful and more like a manifesto. Grennan has built its most confident works yet-a maximalist, seroton-driven journey that is equal parts of catarsis and spectacle. It will not convert minimalists, but for everyone else it is a record that asks to be blasted from the biggest possible scene.
