Upon release, ‘Wishbone’ was immediately received with praise from fans and critics alike. Billboard honoured the album as their “Editor’s Pick of the Week” with Rolling Stone declaring Conan has “never sounded more confident”.
Conan performed songs from Wishbone for the first time on television with a special release day appearance on Today Show’s Summer Concert Series. Performing to a jam-packed audience of fans in New York’s iconic Rockefeller Plaza, the set included monumental performances of ‘This Song’, ‘Vodka Cranberry’, ‘Caramel’, and Conan’s multi-platinum hit ‘Heather’.
On ‘Wishbone’, Conan Gray returns to his singer-songwriter roots after falling in love for the first time, showcasing his creative talents more than ever before. ‘Wishbone’ is entirely written by Conan Gray and executive produced by GRAMMY Award-winning longtime collaborator Dan Nigro. Nigro has worked with Conan since 2018, producing his multi-platinum hits ‘Heather’ and ‘Maniac’. Conan also worked with producers Ethan Gruska, Noah Conrad, Luka Kloser and Elvira on Wishbone. Alongside the album, Conan released a trilogy of music videos for ‘This Song’, ‘Vodka Cranberry’, and ‘Caramel’, following the love story of Wilson & Brando. The music videos are directed by Danica Kleinknecht (MkGee), co-starring Corey Fogelmanis, and filmed in Conan’s home state of Texas.
