Conan Gray explains concept behind upcoming album ‘Wishbone'

Conan Gray just announced he would be releasing his next album, Wishbone, on August 15.

The American pop star released his third album, Found Heaven last summer and is now, already coming up with new music, which would treat fans with 12 new tracks.

In a note addressing his fans, Conan talked about Wishbone, noting, “Over the past two years, I’ve been secretly writing songs.”

“After shows in the basements of the venues, in the sheets of my hotel beds, in narrow gaps between tours— I’d come back home and write all the things I felt nobody wanted to hear. Maybe even the things I didn’t want people to hear,” the Heather hitmaker noted.

He continued, “It felt like the music was reminding me who I am, at an experimental time in my twenties where ‘who I am’ had no definition at all.”

“I played the songs to the very first person I’d ever made music with, Dan Nigro (long-time collaborator), and I quietly began to record. I didn’t know why I was recording, I just was. I didn’t know what story I was telling, I was just living in it,” the Wish You Were Sober singer further wrote.

“Slowly I started to see myself in full picture. The slivers of myself I’d always been, but never faced. The songs I’d always been writing, but never singing. Before I knew it I was surrounded by an album. That album is ‘Wishbone,’” Conan Gray concluded.
