Conan Gray - Never Ending Song + Found Heaven album

[C’est la VoR]

I'll probably remain the only person on Moopy who mildly stans this queen, but this is a bop.



Love the 80s Euro-synth vibes. It sounds like something that would have been a hit exclusively in Poland in 1987.

I was trying to find a thread to post this in!

It‘s brilliant and I have an oddly soft spot for him, he certainly has more top notch tunes that you’d expect.

[FetchFugly]

That is a very good video.

The song is great as well. His voice sounds completely different for the most part, he is definitely doing that yelpy thing less.

 

[Devil]

I’m not technical at all, but is he singing in his lower register? Either way, I agree with you - theres no whining that he can sometimes do, it sounds much smoother.

 

[FetchFugly]

I knew the intro to this reminded me of something, it is quite close to the early eighties TOTP theme.

 

[C’est la VoR]

Fully obsessed with this now. It really hits my 80s synth banger with just a touch of melancholia sweet spot.

 

[dzjermlaw]

'Wish You Were Sober' is exceptional and this is still quite good but it's hard not to see 'Never Ending Song' as much a threat as anything else.

 

[C’est la VoR]

It's less than 3 minutes long!

 

[OutSynk]

Loving this. Max Martin in credits.

 

[C’est la VoR]

Added to the Radio 2 playlist. I thought he might be more of a Radio One artist still but I guess not

 

[Devil]

US radio started with this and then paid complete dust to it

 

[OutSynk]

Another Max Martin one. Love it.

 

[FetchFugly]

Killing Me is excellent, but every time he sings BEARILY BREATHING in the chorus it does take me out of it a little.

[C’est la VoR]

That's a lot of Max Martin! Surprised they're investing this much in him considering his latest releases haven't made much of an impact.

 

[OutSynk]

@VoR can you add the album title to the err title pls

 

[FetchFugly]

From the credits and the cover I am choosing to believe that there will be minimal bleaty balladry this time around.

 

[Pipo]

Is he one those current musical entities who does better at streaming than sales hence he doesn't chart ANYWHERE?

 

[Devil]

Yeah. His latest few haven’t been streaming hits by any means, and I think only really Heather actually charted anywhere of note out of all of his songs, but he has many on Spotify alone in the 200-500 million region. So I’d say the money flows very well from his output overall despite not actually charting.

 

[Jark]

what absolutely horrible cover art

yeah he's in the Troye boat (pre-Rush) of being a solid streamer who doesn't chart. very dedicated core fanbase.

 

[OutSynk]

The new song is cute.

 

[Ill Advised]

Love it!

 

[FetchFugly]

This is great. Those chorus vocals straight out of 1982

 

[OutSynk]

I thought Michael Jackson had started singing at one point.

 

[C’est la VoR]

I'm obsessed with Lonely Dancers. Typical that the more poptastic he gets, the more his streams have gone into freefall.

 

[FetchFugly]

A bit less poptastic so maybe this will improve things:

 

[FetchFugly]

Loving the very on the nose eighties references throughout:



The title track and Miss You are my initial picks.

 

[Ill Advised]

100% an 80s pastiche but in such a good way

Fantastic album

 

[FetchFugly]

The quite audacious key change on Eye of the Night

I do wish some of the bangers were given a little more room to breathe time wise. Alley Rose has unexpectedly become a bit of a favourite too.

 

[FetchFugly]

I'm sure the sales were nothing to get excited about but this was number 4 in the UK album chart.

Alley Rose has been getting the release week performances. It is atypical of the album but I do think the bridge is very, very good:

 

[OutSynk]

I'm not that thrilled with the album. The second half is not up to much Killing Me aside.

Fainted Love deserves to be a worldwide smash though.
