Review
Conan Gray's third studio delight, "Found Heaven," is like a deliciously emotional roller-coaster ride through the ups and downs of the human heart. Released into the wild on April 5, 2024, this album isn't just a collection of 13 tracks; it's a deep dive into a synth-wave rendered ocean of nostalgia. The sweetheart of this musical affair is the hit parade of singles like "Never Ending Song," "Winner," and "Alley Rose," each one spinning a yarn of love, loneliness, and the agony of dance floors left unexplored.
Imagine donning your best retro leather jacket and embarking on a journey with Conan as your introspective navigator, blending captivating beats with heart-on-sleeve lyrics. The album is practically a curriculum for Love and Heartbreak 101, with tracks such as "Fainted Love" and "The Final Fight" mapping the enchanting messiness of human connections. Not forgetting the groovy "Bourgeoisieses," which schools us on social classes with as much subtlety as a fireworks display. Whether you're here for the teary ballads or the toe-tapping bangers, "Found Heaven" promises a heady mix of emotional catharsis and danceable defiance that you didn’t realize you absolutely needed. - Chloe
