Kai Bosch – Angel

UK talent (and Alfitude favourite) Kai Bosch returns with a sparkling new single that is guaranteed to banish any midweek blues you might have.

‘Angel’ treats us to a dancefloor-ready fusion of indie and disco-pop, while its lyrics tell of the complexities of pining for someone you can no longer be with.

‘Angel’ is my crack at a disco-heartbreak anthem—I wanted to make a song that required a glitter ball and some flared trousers. And not to toot my own horn, but mission success in my opinion! To be blunt, ‘Angel’ is about thinking of someone else when you’re having sex. Shortly after my first breakup, I found myself in the thick of a rebound relationship. He was a lovely guy, and there was objectively nothing wrong with him, but I couldn’t help secretly yearning for the past. 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 track is lifted from Kai’s forthcoming ‘Popstar Of Your Dreams’ EP, which is scheduled for release on the 16th of April 2025. Elaborating further, the artist says:

“When it came to finishing the EP with my friend Duncan Mills last summer, the rebound was long gone, and so were the lingering feelings I’d been having. It felt so freeing to finally let go, so much so that I wrote a last-minute middle eight letting it all go and not looking back. I’m happy to say we set a record for the highest note in Kai Bosch history—whether I am brave enough to recreate it live is another story…”

If you’re in the UK, then you can watch Kai performing live later this evening in Manchester, followed by some London dates later in the month… Be sure to catch this rising talent before he explodes into the mainstream and finally becomes ‘the biggest gay pop star in the universe’ that he aspires to be! Dates and venues are listed below.
