His fifth and sixth albums Boy from Michigan (2021) and The Art of the Lie (2024) also received acclaim. His other work includes the live album John Grant and the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra: Live in Concert (2014), on which he performed songs from his first two albums while accompanied by the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra.
Grant is also known for his collaborations with varied musicians such as Budgie, CMAT, Elbow, Elton John, Goldfrapp, GusGus, Hercules and Love Affair, Kylie Minogue, Midlake, Robbie Williams, Sinéad O'Connor, Tracey Thorn, Linda Thompson and Big Special.
