John Grant reflects on the state of the world with new track "The Only Baby"

Grant shared his new song as a surprise on socials earlier today (15 January), revealing he wrote and recorded it in summer 2020.

"The Only Baby" is Grant's first release since appearinng on Lost Horizons' "Cordelia" last October.

He writes of the new song, "I’ve been so disturbed to see how things are progressing in the U.S. and the world, I wanted to share this song which I wrote and recorded last summer. Seems like a good time. I feel so much rage and yes, hatred towards the gaslighters, the bullies, the narcissists, the sociopaths and psychopaths, the Christian Fascist Right and of course T**** and all those who enable him and continue to do so all in the name of Jesus and/or Hitler."

Grant adds, "I know I have to figure out a way to stay calm and continue to resist the onslaught of lies without being dissolved from the inside out by my own rage and the hatred I feel towards these people who scream at the top of their lungs that we do not hear what we hear or see what we see. Yes, I’ve heard of Yoga, I’ll look into it."

The musician is yet to follow up his 2018 album Love Is Magic.
