Our favourite bop so far this summer has to be Kai Bosch’s latest single, ‘Summer Of Love.’

With its perfected mix of dance, indie, and electronic pop, this track is guaranteed to be adored by anyone who listens to it. The lyrics tell of an idyllic start to a relationship, when everything feels blissful, fun, and exciting.

I wrote ‘Summer Of Love’ during last year’s heatwave. It was the beginning of a new relationship for me, and suddenly everything felt like it had so much meaning and purpose. We spent the summer swimming in the Lake District, cat-sitting in Amsterdam, and drinking bottles of wine on my roof—it truly felt like I was back in my body, and I wanted to make a song that would encapsulate that summer forever.”

Kai’s music has really accelerated in interest this year. Alongside the continued critical praise from the likes of Elton John, this artist’s work is clearly resonating with an audience, with streams of his recent single ‘Angel’ picking up more than 500k streams just on Spotify.

Rising UK artist Kai Bosch is back with one of the biggest single of the week, and we can’t wait to share it with you all.

‘Funny’ is lifted from the musician’s upcoming ‘Love, Throw Me A Bone’ EP (out 26th April), and presents listeners with an eccentric blend of indie and alt-pop. Explaining the song further, Kai says:

“‘Funny’ was a total accident for me, I usually like to write about things in hindsight when I can look at something from a distance where I can be a lot more reflective and poetic in my dissection of something – however, with ‘Funny’ I came into that studio angry!

“I had been having a really terrible week, I bumped into my ex on the tube for the first time since we broke up and he was a totally different person – that broke my heart all over again, but to make matters worse I found out the next day that he was in a relationship with someone else, and had been since we broke up.

“I went through such a whirlwind of emotions, but eventually settled on anger, so when I rocked up to the studio with my friend Gabe Coulter I ended up word-vomiting the most unfiltered and unsubtle thoughts into that microphone.

“As a whole, ‘Funny’ explores the resentment and anger that I feel for my ex, but also how embarrassing I find it that I spent so long yearning for him – every time that I held my breath going past his stop on the tube, looking for his face in a sea of commuters at rush hour, six months of hoping we would cross paths again and reunite as something other than strangers only to find he had been with someone else the whole time – soul crushing!”

Kai’s songs have so far amassed more than a million cumulative streams on Spotify. Keep an eye on this kid – he’s one to watch!

This isn’t the first time that Kai Bosch has graced our pages, and we’re confident it won’t be the last either.

Every song released from this promising UK-based artist so far has been an alt-pop masterpiece (in our opinion, anyway). Melodic new single ‘Tulips’ treats us to a sound that is both mesmerising and hypnotic to experience. On the lyrics, Bosch says:

“‘Tulips’ is about the realisation that you have nothing left to give to a relationship, it’s a bittersweet feeling of optimism and hope for the future while also feeling a pang of regret that things aren’t the way they once were. I wrote it towards the end of a stint living with my ex boyfriend and realising that giving my love to him wasn’t worth my time anymore as I wasn’t getting anything in return.

“The song was inspired by the idea of flower pressings and how you can preserve the colour and beauty of something that is still dead nonetheless – and how I wish I could do that to the relationship I had with my ex. 

“Tulips are also my favourite flower, and the constant give and take within this relationship reminded me of how tulips constantly open and close with the rising and setting of the sun.”

To date, Bosch has received praise from noted outlets like CLASH Magazine, The Line of Best Fit and BBC Radio 1. You can catch the artist performing live soon, with cities and venues listed below.

Rising 21-year old artist Kai Bosch unveils his first new single of the year, entitled ‘My Jeans’.

Co-produced alongside Danio Forni, the song was sonically inspired by Lana Del Rey’s iconic ‘Ride’, and treats listeners to a spellbinding mix of dreamy indie and alternative pop.

“[The track was] born out of the ashes of quite a traumatic and one-sided relationship coming to an end. Writing this song was a real turning point for me and how I viewed this and other failed relationships I’d been through in the past.” 

“I always felt a deep responsibility for relationships ending, whenever something would fail I would blame myself and try to pick apart what was wrong with me. This song and specific relationship helped me realise that sometimes things aren’t my fault, and the other party might be the one struggling. My Jeans is a statement of sympathy in the face of painful unrequited love.”

After selling out three headline shows last year, Bosch plays London’s Bermondsey Social Club on the 20th April – tickets can be found here.
