The 13-track project marks a defining arrival for Wren, stepping into the spotlight after years working behind the scenes as a vocalist, arranger, and producer across film, television, and pop music.</p><p>Written and produced entirely by Wren, <em>Second Adolescence</em> is a cinematic pop album that explores queer evolution, freedom, and self-reclamation. The project unfolds as a rebirth, a coming-of-age story told on one&rsquo;s own terms, capturing the tension and liberation that come with shedding expectation and stepping fully into identity.</p><blockquote>&ldquo;This album is me choosing myself, fully and without apology, after years of shrinking to fit spaces that were never built for me. <em>Second Adolescence</em> is about reclaiming my voice, my story, and the freedom to evolve in real time. It&rsquo;s not just a debut, it&rsquo;s a declaration of who I am now and who I&rsquo;m still becoming.&rdquo; - Connor Wren</blockquote><div class=\"release-content-embed release-content-embed--rich release-content-embed--contained\" id=\"embed-8a2bd449-4f77-45d2-8629-caf3809222f0\"><div><div style=\"left: 0; width: 100%; height: 152px; position: relative;\"><iframe data-iframely-url=\"https://cdn.iframe.ly/api/iframe?url=https%3A%2F%2Fopen.spotify.com%2Fartist%2F69KjKKpH9gtN3tIpzndYER%3Fsi%3DGSeVPFJQS5GlJ9Ux5MG0GQ%23_cb1775240773&key=8fe6cdec03482ac31f27a6ae8ea2fb3f\" style=\"top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; border: 0; border-radius: 12px;\" allowfullscreen allow=\"clipboard-write *; encrypted-media *; fullscreen *; picture-in-picture *;\"></iframe></div></div><script async src=\"https://cdn.iframe.ly/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"></script></div><p>With standout tracks including &ldquo;Polaroid Ghosts,&rdquo; &ldquo;Boys Like Us,&rdquo; and &ldquo;Your Sunrise is Coming,&rdquo; the album blends polished pop production with deeply personal storytelling. Wren&rsquo;s trajectory from collaborator and vocalist for Disney to solo artist brings a distinct level of precision and emotional clarity, informed by years of shaping sound for others before turning inward to define his own voice.</p><p>At its core, <em>Second Adolescence</em> is both a debut and a reintroduction &mdash; a project rooted in purpose and determination, reframing growth as cyclical and expansive, and positioning Wren as an artist claiming space, visibility, and authorship in his own narrative.</p><p>Track List:</p><ol class=\"release-content-list release-content-list--numbered release-content-list--align-inherit\"><li><span>Skyline Heart</span></li><li><span>Polaroid Ghosts</span></li><li><span>Out of Character</span></li><li><span>Second Adolescence </span></li><li><span>Soft</span></li><li><span>POV: Disassociating</span></li><li><span>PhD in Therapy</span></li><li><span>Body Language</span></li><li><span>Walls</span></li><li><span>Falling Tonight</span></li><li><span>Your Sunrise is Coming</span></li><li><span>Boys Like Us</span></li><li><span>Songbird</span></li></ol><p style=\"text-align: center\"><em><strong>Press can access a confidential early release of songs </strong></em><a href=\"https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/p4hhw55fi5sl9laq7gf7y/AJq-Q6ZisUJqXz88uizqjrE?rlkey=sittmlsnrcqm69e96ijn9ieuo&amp;st=xlsdbghu&amp;dl=0\"><u><em><strong>HERE</strong></em></u></a></p><p style=\"text-align: center\"><em><strong>Access lyrics </strong></em><a href=\"https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:US:a1d9878d-484c-4453-9c1c-3cb0ca6470f0\"><u><em><strong>HERE</strong></em></u></a><em><strong> and individual track loglines </strong></em><a href=\"https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:US:0271e33e-cb18-4159-907e-dff488d9cae0\"><u><em><strong>HERE</strong></em></u></a></p><p style=\"text-align: center\"><em><strong>Access cleared photos, album art and additional bio information </strong></em><a href=\"https://morrison-media-group-3252b3d8.prezly.com/connor-wren-epk\"><u><em><strong>HERE</strong></em></u></a><em><strong>.</strong></em></p><p style=\"text-align: center\">###</p><p style=\"text-align: center\">&nbsp;</p><p style=\"text-align: center\">&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>",
