Kai Bosch has shared his new single 'Orbit'.
The London riser is still only 20 years old, but he's already gained a huge degree of maturity and emotional insight.
Perhaps his work as a songwriter has enabled this. Out now, new single 'Orbit' is a kind of letter to his 17 year old self, musing on love and the passing of time.
Adolescent innocence is rendered in an impeccable way, providing a space of solace, one without judgement; melodically astute, his layered approach combines neat songwriting with gorgeous production.
Discussing the new single, Kai comments…
"It was written and produced from my bedroom last summer. It explores my first love, and how my perception of love as a whole has changed with age. For a long time I tried to recreate that feeling of first love to no avail, but as time passed I realised that as much as I tried to recreate the past, I had to look to the future."
"The song captures brief snapshots from the months following my first heartbreak: stumbling through Shoreditch at night, hanging out the window of a Berlin apartment – the lyrics offer sympathy, but also a knowing smile."
"For the remainder of my teens I half hoped I would return to this first love, but with this song I realised that after everything we had been through in the three years since our departure – we would never be the same people again.”
Tune in now.
