After the rousing response to his much-loved new single "Bodybag" near the end of last year, fast-rising charismatic alt-pop artist Kai Bosch is now kicking off his 2024 in style with his hypnotic new offering "Tulips".
Adopting another heady dose of riveting alt-pop aesthetics for his newest outing, "Tulips" sees him pursue more of that rich and emotive direction he has been building for himself of late. Working again alongside Brit award winning producer Charlie Andrew (Alt-J, London Grammar) they created a broad and progressive production set to his wondrous vocals & heartfelt lyrics throughout, Kai explains, "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."
Having already been extremely busy on the live circuit throughout 2023, including festival appearances at Latitude, Boardmasters and The Great Escape, and supporting both Katie Gregson MacLeod and Gretel Hanlyn on their recent UK/EU tours, Kai Bosch will embark on a four-date headline stint in late April/early May. He’ll also be appearing at Borderline Festival alongside some of the hottest talent emerging in the UK.
