Today, platinum-selling singer, songwriter, and pop king Conan Gray celebrates five years of his debut album, Kid Krow, by unveiling his new Kid Krow, Decomposed (5 Year Anniversary) Digital Release out now via Republic Records. The album anniversary occurs while “The Cut That Always Bleeds” continues its viral success, rising up the Spotify Top 200 Chart five years after release.
Kid Krow, Decomposed (5 Year Anniversary) notably includes one unreleased track, two new live recordings, and brand-new artwork illustrated by Conan Gray himself.

Kid Krow initially landed on March 20, 2020.

Upon release, People hailed it as “filled with some of Gray’s most personal lyrics and the nostalgia-inducing sounds,” and DORK rated it “4-out-of-4 stars.” In its wake, SPIN christened him “a voice for his generation.” OnesToWatch raved, “In his striking debut album, Gray has officially taken flight, and he makes one thing clear. He is here to make his mark on the world of pop music.”
