Conrad Sewell Healing Hands and Come Clean

Ghosts and Heartaches

Conrad Sewell is proud to introduce his newest project, the confessional Ghosts and Heartaches – his first release since 2016. Ghosts and Heartaches features his two new releases, Come Clean and Healing Hands, which shed ambiguity and confront his reality by candidly touching, in his beloved soaring vocals, on issues surrounding alcohol, drugs, and a myriad of his mistakes.

For the past two years, Conrad has been playing shows all over the world alongside renowned artists and DJs alike. "I was fucking over it," he confesses. '"Life on the road had become a whirlwind. I was partying like a madman, and I completely fucked up a relationship I thought would last forever. When I started writing, I held nothing back."

When Conrad returned to the studio, he did so with the same producer that worked on his critically acclaimed first single, Start Again, Jamie Hartman (Rag'N'Bone Man, Christina Aguilera). "We focused on the strength of Conrad's vocals. Although his voice has mainstream appeal there's also a rare and raw rock -n' roll sensibility to it."

The stark and stirring piano chords and bluesy spark of Come Clean serve as his clarion call to do so. "I was with a girl that I loved so much she made me want to stop partying the way I did," he admits. "But, I didn't. The whole situation was driving me crazy at the time and the words poured out in the studio. It opened the gates to the rawer lyrics that seeped into the new stuff."

Healing Hands, also on the highly anticipated Ghosts and Heartaches, is a soaring and uplifting mid-tempo song that Conrad says, "always felt like the perfect complement to Come Clean. Healing Hands is my truth, and my thank you, to the incredible people in my life who continue to remind me that people can change."

These two songs are the beginning of Conrad's next chapter - one that is already more honest and reflective than we have seen before. In the end, Ghosts and Heartaches represents him in his most pure state. "This is really who I am," he leaves off. "For my whole life, the only thing I've ever needed to do is make music. I devote everything I can to it, and I always will. I'm here to inspire and I hope with this new music I can also give listeners something they can relate to."
