Something in the Water
Tom Grennan’s from Bedford. His voice has this weight to it that makes you listen without trying. Around the third song I realized I’d stopped thinking about anything else.
Something in the Water
doesn’t try to dazzle you. Old Songs
doesn’t either. They just sit with you. Same with the Chase & Status collaboration on All Goes Wrong
—confident without needing to announce it. He sounds older than he probably is, like he’s already lived what he’s singing.
I’ve been listening to these for a couple weeks now. His voice settles into you. You can close your eyes and there’s nothing but him and the songs. No strain, nothing competing for space. That’s the rare thing.
