20-year-old singer-songwriter Conan Gray has just released a new song titled “Checkmate” today! Conan spoke with Republic Records in regards to the track stating: “‘Checkmate’ is a song that spewed out of me while alone in my bedroom. It took me about four minutes, and I just ugly cried out a whole song about this person I liked who was always playing games with my heart. They’d call me super drunk in the middle of the night telling me they loved me, then they’d spend the next week cold and ignoring me. “Checkmate” was my last draw; my way of saying “I’m done with these games. If you wanna play this game, I’m gonna win.’” Conan will be hitting the road this fall for his “The Comfort Crowd” tour. The 6 week long run starts on October 29 in St. Louis, MO and concludes in Los Angeles on December 13th. Along with an upcoming tour, Conan will also be performing at Lollapalooza and the Life is Beautiful Festival. Be sure to check out his website for all the details!
