Kai Bosch uses his discography as an autobiography, showcasing his personal experiences and inner thoughts and writing them to an alt-pop melody. His musical background began with secretly teaching himself piano as a way to cope with his queerness early on in his life. He recalls his influences at the time to be artists such as Lorde & Lana Del Rey- two singers who pour as much emotion as they can into their music. It’s no surprise that present-day Kai has put that practice to use as well, and plans on displaying that in his upcoming EP, Love, Throw Me A Bone.
The latest single off of the EP is “Funny”- a callout to Kai’s former partner. This track is dark, sarcastic, angry, and overall intoxicating from the start. The song jumps straight into a low, buzzy guitar melody that sets the tone. “Funny” explores the stark difference between rage and sadness following a heartbreak, and how it can be difficult to jump between those two emotions whilst in the middle of a grieving process. It’s sonically comparable to Wet Leg & Decklan Mckenna, as it has almost electronic-sounding heavy production and clean vocals. The lyrical honesty is something that makes this single stand out- you wouldn’t want to be the person who this song is about.
