About the interludes, Conan saidīoth of the interludes I wrote just for the fans, for the people who listen to the album from top to bottom. It included the singles “Checkmate”, “Comfort Crowd”, “Maniac”, “The Story”,“Wish You Were Sober” as well as 5 other songs and 2 interludes. Sunset Season features the previously released singles “Idle Town,” “Generation Why,” and “Crush Culture,” as well as two other songs – “Greek God” and “Lookalike”.Ĭonan’s debut album, Kid Krow, was released on March 20, 2020. His debut EP, Sunset Season was released on November 16, 2018, under Republic Records. He previously attended UCLA and he has a YouTube channel where he makes videos about his art portfolios, high school/college advice, Babble & Bake, Art-Tea, music covers, original songs, music videos, thrift store clothing hauls, and much more. His first cover on YouTube “To Make You Feel My Love” was posted nearly two years later on November 20th, 2014.Ī lot of his music is written about situations he has gone through or that people close to him have gone through, which translates to a lot of his tunes being on a rather sad note. There, on January 20th, 2013 he started what was then called ConanxCanon. In sixth grade, he and his mother’s family moved to Texas. To add on to the misfortune, his parents later divorced. Shortly after the passing, Conan and his family moved back to California.
At one and a half years old, Conan and his family moved to Hiroshima, Japan to care for his grandfather who was diagnosed with cancer.

If you wanna play this game, I’m gonna win.’” “Checkmate” was my last draw my way of saying “I’m done with these games.
They’d call me super drunk in the middle of the night telling me they loved me, then they’d spend the next week cold and ignoring me. It took me about four minutes, and I just ugly cried out a whole song about this person I liked who was always playing games with my heart. “‘Checkmate’ is a song that spewed out of me while alone in my bedroom. Breakups are always good fuel for songwriters. It’s all about the individual process, muse and definitely some magic.Ĭonan Gray’s new song “Checkmate” is one of those songs that just poured out due to his raw emotional state from recent relationship issues. As Bob Dylan told CBS in an interview, some of his songs were “almost magically written”. While other songs may take months of revisions and painful rewrites. Some songs just pour out as if they were already written and just needed a place to go. If you speak to songwriters and ask them how long it takes them to write a song, the answers you will get will vary greatly.
