Conan Gray’s wistful fourth album, “Wishbone,” arrives Friday. It is a return to form for Gray, writes The Associated Press' Elise Ryan in her review. She says that the album's 12 diaristic tracks oscillate between bold heartbreak anthems and moments of tender reflection. Rejection serves as inspiration for angst and contemplation. On “Wishbone,” Gray once again collaborates with producer Dan Nigro, known for his work with Olivia Rodrigo and Chappell Roan. Their reunion finds Gray comfortable but candid. Recurring characters, settings and symbols help him recount relationships atop a sonic landscape informed by his past releases.
