Boy from Michigan, produced by Cate Le Bon, is John Grant’s most personal and melodic album yet—a sweeping, autobiographical journey from his Michigan childhood to his Denver adolescence. Blending lush piano ballads with sharp-edged electropop, Grant reflects on lost innocence, identity, and political disillusionment. The album opens with a nostalgic “Michigan Trilogy,” then moves through his formative years with evocative storytelling and experimental textures. Le Bon’s minimalist production sharpens the emotional impact, while Grant’s signature wit and vulnerability anchor this vivid portrait of memory and meaning.
