"Conrad weaves songs from his alt-R&B album, LOVE ON DIGITAL, with tracks from his alt-jazz project, wHIMSY, to build an alternative universe rooted entirely in intention. The set takes off with the controlled tension of “wHIP,” giving space for a trumpet solo from Keyon Harrold before effortlessly easing into “wASH U AWAY.” Next, Conrad introduces Vanisha Gould for the playful duet, “A Lonely Detective.”"

E.” That leads us seamlessly into the warm, gentle groove of “SO NICE.” As Conrad concludes with his charming cut, “KISSING IN PUBLIC,” it’s clear that he’s an artist fully in command of his universe, inviting anyone lucky enough to watch to step inside it with him."
