London-based alt-pop artist Kai Bosch is back with a shimmering new single, “Angel”, and the announcement of his highly anticipated EP, Popstar of Your Dreams, set for release on April 16th. The rising artist, known for blending emotional storytelling with avant-garde production, continues to carve out a space for himself in the evolving landscape of electro-pop.
Following the success of tracks like “Everything Is Beautiful”, “Rodeo Romeo”, and his recent collaboration with Litany on “Hello, Anxiety”, Bosch describes “Angel” as his take on a “disco-heartbreak anthem.”
The track pulses with lush synths, infectious grooves, and an ethereal vocal delivery that balances both euphoria and melancholy. Lyrically, “Angel” delves into the bittersweet reality of rebounding from a breakup—finding yourself with someone seemingly perfect yet still longing for the past.
Bosch explains, “It’s about being with someone so kind, gentle, and perfect (an angel, if you will) yet still pining for something painful and ugly.” The song’s powerful middle-eight marks a turning point, symbolizing the moment of emotional release and closure—a freeing sensation that Bosch conveys with soaring high notes, the highest in his discography to date.
The forthcoming EP, Popstar of Your Dreams, promises to be a dazzling blend of dancefloor-ready anthems and introspective lyricism. Rooted in the contrast between the introspection of his Cornish upbringing, the hedonism of Berlin’s nightlife, and the romantic grime of London, Bosch’s sound merges queer nostalgia, electronic pop, and diary-like confessions.
Designed to make listeners cry on the dancefloor and scream lyrics at 3 AM, the EP is poised to further establish him as one of the UK’s most exciting new pop artists.
Alongside the EP release, Kai Bosch has also announced a headline show at Paper Dress Vintage in London on May 28th, with tickets on sale now. Having already captivated audiences at festivals like Latitude, Boardmasters, and The Great Escape, and supported acts like Katie Gregson-Macleod and Gretel Hanlyn, his live performances continue to build his reputation as a thrilling performer.
As Popstar of Your Dreams draws closer, “Angel” offers a compelling preview of what’s to come—proving once again that Kai Bosch is a name to watch in 2024.
