Bedroom pop artist Conan Gray thought it made sense to release his debut album Kid Krow while he stayed put at his home in Los Angeles during this unprecedented shelter-in-place period. “I wrote the whole album out of my bedroom,” Gray tells Apple Music. “So to release it in a moment where all of us were in our bedrooms felt weirdly perfect.” For the time being, he’s been writing songs, doing grocery runs wearing his pajamas and revisiting albums he hadn’t listened to in a while. On this exclusive Apple Music playlist curated by Gray himself, he’s included personal favourites by Lorde, The 1975, Paramore and his all-time favourite artist Taylor Swift, whom Gray recently “met” on Instagram: “She told me that my album was perfect. I was like, ‘Taylor, that’s all you need to say. I can die now.’”
