American singer-songwriter Conan Gray has taken to social media to announce a deluxe edition of his #3 US Billboard 200 charting album, Wishbone, out Friday 24 April (pre-save/pre-order here).
The record features all 12 tracks from the original version of the album, plus five previously unreleased songs, including Gray’s latest single, ‘The Best’.
Speaking about the deluxe edition of Wishbone, Gray wrote on social media, “Over the past year of releasing and touring Wishbone, I felt like there were a few last things I wanted to say. Some pages left to turn. Some wishes left to be made. So I hid away in my bedroom, venue basements, hotels and wrote Wishbone Deluxe.
“These songs are not ‘songs that didn’t make the album’. They’re all new songs written after Wishbone, feelings I could only reach in the aftermath of the album’s release. Feelings I couldn’t express in the moment as I wrote Wishbone— because I was still very much in the middle of the storm that inspired it. These songs aren’t missed pages, they’re the next chapter.
“As I continue the Wishbone world tour this year, I hope these songs can continue the story for you, as they have for me. I love these songs. I love this tour. I love Wishbone.”
