ConanGray Hits a Small Town Crescendo
," Gray says with a smile. He cites Swift as having shaped his songwriting, but can actually trace his songwriting back to Adele."[Adele's] first album,, really changed my whole life. I had found out that she'd been out from the middle of nowhere and she'd just written all of her own songs." While Adele did have collaborators on the album, the undeniable personal intimacy ofwas what he connected to.
It goes without saying that Gray's songwriting abilities far surpass a level required to come up with schoolyard jingles. His newest single,displays the full breadth of his writing skills, in addition to an eclectic musicality that taps straight into pop music's innateness. Gray ascribes this quality to being in-tune with the"mathematic" qualities of pop music, while also approaching it with all the ease of an elementary equation.
"I liked the same person for four years when I was in high school and all four of those years they never told me that they liked me back until literally the day before I moved to California. They texted me at three in the morning, they were like, 'I liked you this whole entire time, da da da dah.' I was like, 'Too fucking late, also I hate you! You left me hanging for four years,'" he recounts, frustrated.
Of his upcoming works, Gray says,"Right now I'm working on an album, and I've been working on the album basically the second I stopped writing my EP because I never stop writing." As for any specificities about the album, fans will have to wait until it drops for any hints.Gray did reveal, however, that the album will weave the same webs of structured storytelling as his EP, a style he thinks has gone missing from some more recent incarnations of pop.
While Gray emphasizes that he's"always written for himself," saying,"If something makes me happy, I leave it in," he does feel a certain duty to his listeners."I think that what a songwriter's duty to do is to be able to be the voice for people who aren't writers. I'm just really excited to see the way that pop music really is actually being an accurate display of what our generation is like, you know? I think pop music now is about so much more.
