Conan Gray

With the world in its current state, music offers an outlet for people to express themselves and ways to heal. So here are four albums released in 2022 that'll motivate us into the next year and help us learn to deal with heartbreak.

Breakups are an oddly universal, familiar sensation — and going through it in solitude doesn’t make anyone feel any better.

Despite a tendency toward thematic repetition, Gray transforms Superache into a work teeming with full-bodied, all-consuming emotions.

Coachella’s monumental sense of scale dizzied, delighted and disoriented. The atmosphere glittered with the rarity of a gemstone, a fanfare of aestheticized and commercialized bohemia.

Unlike Gray’s dismal memories of his past lover, “Memories” is not something to be let go of.

While Gray might wish he were Heather, crowds will surely be wishing to replay this unforgettable evening for many nights to come.

On his new album, Gray tackles the struggles of growing up — from heartbreak to angsty frustration — and strives to become the voice of the unheard teenager.

Sometimes, we find ourselves in situations we don't expect of ourselves. Oftentimes, the places we keep finding ourselves in both reveal and shape us.
