 Conan Gray will soon release his new album, 'Wishbone,' on August 15, but first he stopped by our Los Angeles studios for an Audacy Check In with Bru about his new project, his track "Vodka Cranberry," and more. Reuniting with GRAMMY-winning collaborator Dan Nigro as Executive Producer, Gray says the secret to being so open and himself on this project is rejection. "Being rejected is the most freeing, incredible thing ever, like continual rejection in life," Conan admits. "As you get older, you start to realize that like every rejection ever, whether it's a person or something you wanted to do that didn't happen, or anything. It's so scary to be rejected. It's so scary to fail, and then you do it a bunch of times and you're like, 'wait, this is awesome,' and it's always pushing you to the right place in life." Conan Gray has offered two previews so far of 'Wishbone,' "This Song," and "Vodka Cranberry," which he says captures the spirit of the full album. "Ultimately, 'Vodka Cranberry' was the last song that I finished for the album, and once I finished it, I was like, I feel like this song captures the whole album in one song, and that's why it felt like the right second single." "This album is so me, and the most me I've ever been, which is a kind of strange statement because you're always you," Conan shares, "but I think with the response that I've gotten to like a very, very true version of myself, it feels very satisfying. I feel seen. My ego's big and fat." 'Wishbone' was once again written in the bedroom of Conan Gray, which has worked for the singer, but is there a downside to the intimate setting where Conan finds his creativity? "100%, you've actually the only person who's ever asked me that," he tells Bru. "It is true, when I lay down in bed at night, I literally start writing songs while I'm falling asleep and it's so annoying. A song is like a fleeting memory. If you don't capture it, it's gone. It's gone forever. So there are some nights where I'll put my little head down to sleep and then it's like, there's a chorus in my brain. I'm like, 'if I don't get up and record this right now, then it might leave me and what if it's the best song I've ever written.' So yeah, it actually does propose some challenges."
