Conan Gray has announced his fourth album ‘Wishbone’, set for release on 15th August via Republic Records.
The singer-songwriter and two-time Dork cover star has also revealed that the album’s first single, ‘This Song’, will arrive on 30th May. The twelve-track record sees Gray reunite with Grammy Award-winning producer Dan Nigro, who serves as executive producer after previously working on Gray’s debut EP ‘Sunset Season’ and his first two albums, ‘Kid Krow’ and ‘Superache’.
“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,” Gray explains.
He continues: “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, 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. 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.”
The album also features production from Ethan Gruska, Noah Conrad, Luka Kloser and Elvira. The tracklisting includes the songs: ‘Actor’, ‘Vodka Cranberry’, ‘Romeo’, ‘My World’, ‘Class Clown’, ‘Nauseous’, ‘Caramel’, ‘Connell’, ‘Sunset Tower’, ‘Eleven Eleven’, and ‘Care’.
