17 May 2021, 13:12 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

John Grant has delivered new single "Billy" today (17 May), which is a fourth preview of his upcoming Cate Le Bon-produced album Boy From Michigan.

"Billy" is the fourth track to be shared from Boy From Michigan, following "Rhetorical Figure", "Boy From Michigan" and "The Only Baby".

Grant says of the new single, ""Billy" is a song about how many men destroy themselves trying to live up to stereotypes of masculinity, and how this manifests in countless ways."

Boy From Michigan will follow Grant's 2018 album Love Is Magic, and is produced by longtime friend Cate Le Bon.

He says of working with Cate Le Bon, "Cate and I are both very strong-willed people. Making a record is hard on a good day. The mounting stress of the US election and the pandemic really started to get to us by late July and August last year. It was at times a very stressful process under the circumstances, but one which was also full of many incredible and joyful moments."

"Billy" is out now. John Grant's album of the same name will arrive via Bella Union on 25 June, and is available to pre-order now.
