Even at Gray's most yearning and emotionally wrought moments, he's got the charisma to get you singing along.

Unlike so many, our Conan doesn’t just walk the stats-based walk. He delivers the goods too.

A collection of catchy choruses, big harmonies and lyrics straight out of a high school drama.

Conan Gray shows that it's sometimes possible not to be too generic by bringing a soul and a few subtleties to make an ultra-pop album within the limits of the reasonable.
Let's be honest, Kid Krow remains an album like I've heard thousands of others. It's in the spirit of the times, but without any innovation, and there's this predictable side to it. All the tracks (except the interludes) can become a potential single. However, Conan Gray exudes this positive energy and I find that he has ... read more

I didn't expect to enjoy ANY of this, considering how much I absolutely despise this new wave of zoomer indie pop coming from artists like Lauv and Bazzi.

There are a lot of catchy tracks on here, and while the songwriting isn’t great and can be very corny, it’s solid most of the time. There’s ... read more

It takes so much.to produce a smile these days
I'm very surprised to like this as much as I do. I really did not like any of Gray's past work minus the song Crush Culture so I just kinda skipped this album when it came out. Now coming to it, I'm surprised to hear how mature this album is compared to Sunset Season. Although not always the most subtle, Kid Krow is a well-produced and ... read more

I feel like Conan is heading towards the right track with this album as his starting point. Right now it seems he is at an amateur level, but you never know what the future holds.
