With an online following in the millions and a penchant for angsty songwriting, 20-year-old Texan Conan Gray is about to make an indelible mark on the world of pop.
this year -- that helped Conan place his voice at the centre of his own narrative. It was proof that he could amass hundreds of thousands of followers for candid stories about his own life but still had a knack for something bigger. Like the YouTube-bred stars that preceded him, freed from the shackles of their ‘internet kid’ affixes, he too was about to break out.
“The internet does that,” he laughs. “It makes really quiet kids quite famous without having to leave their bedrooms.” But if the happy clappy nature of YouTube stars literally makes you wince, worry not. The subject matter Conan dwells upon in his songwriting is for relationship cynics and moody, heartbroken Gen Zers.was the first video he watched on YouTube, or that he credits Lorde as the artist who changed his life.
In a time where pop stars are expected to have more of an edge, the niceties of kids like Conan feel like something to celebrate., he asks a former partner of their new bae: “When you look in his eyes, do you think of mine?”. It’s a classic pop ballad powered by that withering and pathetic feeling you get when someone you once loved passes on to someone new.meanwhile, is a buoyant anti-PDA anthem for everyone who hates being surrounded by their loved-up friends.
Nowadays, the same kids who bothered Conan Gray could just be the ones front row at his hometown gigs, “sending him 1000 DMs a day”. Being on the periphery of fame does funny things to people, but Conan does genuinely seem to have his feet planted firmly on the ground now; perhaps because it took him a little while longer to find them in the first place.
