Found Heaven sees Conan Gray stepping into a new sonic era—trading the bedroom pop and heartbreak ballads for glossy, ‘80s-inspired synth-pop with a theatrical flair. It’s bold, fun, and undeniably catchy, especially on tracks like “Lonely Dancers” and the title track “Found Heaven,” which show off his flair for drama and melody. There’s a refreshing confidence in this album, but it sometimes comes at the cost of emotional depth. While the production is polished and the hooks are strong, a few songs feel more stylized than sincere. That said, Conan’s voice still cuts through with honesty, and his pop instincts are sharp. Found Heaven is a stylish and ambitious pivot—maybe not his most vulnerable work, but definitely his most sonically daring. It’s an exciting chapter in his evolution as an artist.
