In mythology and throughout history, a crow traditionally represents destiny, magic, and eventual rebirth. Clear parallels may be drawn between this mystical creature and Conan Gray. Stuck in a claustrophobic small town under the weight of every odd imaginable, he took flight on his wits, talent, and creativity, breaking out of this rural suburban cage, reaching unparalleled heights, and ultimately finding his voice on his own. After a year of sold out shows, nearly half-a-billion streams, new names like “gen-z’s ascendant king of sad boy pop”, and adoration he never planned for, Conan finally says everything he wanted to say on his 2020 full-length debut the aptly titled, Kid Krow. “I’m not the coolest person on earth; I don’t think I could ever convince anybody I am. Kid Krow is me accepting the fact I’m weird, and I’ll always be weird. I was on the phone with my best friend, and she said I was a crow. I laughed, but it totally made sense. I’ll never be like other people. For the first time, I don’t necessarily feel the need to. I want the album to be for everyone else. When they listen to it, I want them to think, ‘I’m not crazy for feeling this way’. I never spoke much as a kid. I hated talking. Writing and singing was the way for me to speak my emotions. I’m finally saying a lot of things I never really had the guts to say out loud. I write about love, lack of love, pain, and how to deal with pain.” - Conan Gray
