Emerging singer-songwriter Matt Grandbois has released his debut album, Somewhere, Probably, a strikingly personal collection of songs that chronicles his emotional evolution and exploration of identity. The album, recorded following a major life change—his first time living alone in Washington, D.C.—offers a rare, transparent glimpse into the psyche of an artist learning to stop hiding and start healing. Drawing from influences as varied as John Mayer, Jason Mraz, and classical film composers, Grandbois crafts a sonically restrained but emotionally potent journey.
At the heart of the album are stories about unspoken love, missed opportunities, and the transformative power of vulnerability. Tracks like “Someone Else” and “Lonely” deal with repressed emotions and the inner turmoil of staying silent, while “Live Like Paige” offers a moving tribute to a friend lost too soon. Grandbois doesn’t shy away from revealing difficult truths about identity, regret, and connection—but he does so with a soft-spoken courage that lends the record a powerful intimacy.
Musically, Somewhere, Probably feels like a culmination of a lifetime of artistic searching. Grandbois’s background spans everything from metal drumming to jazz harmony, and it all subtly informs the way he builds emotional weight into even the quietest of moments. His debut doesn’t arrive with fanfare—it doesn’t need to. It arrives with honesty, clarity, and a quiet insistence on living truthfully.
