Enfnts Terribles

You lived in Berlin for some months. What have you learned about yourself in this inspiring city?

Berlin is where I first moved after I left Cornwall, I wanted to rediscover myself without the history of who I was back home. What I learned most about myself living there is how hungry for life I am, I want to live at 100 miles-an-hour and experience everything I can. I’ve never felt as free as I did living in Berlin and I plan on moving back there some day.

Was it difficult for you to move to London or was that always your big dream?

Moving to London was always my big dream, my mum was a fashion designer and used to take me with her to London as a kid, I was always shocked at how big and shiny everything is. In my teens my trips to London were an escape from my small hometown – I was badly bullied through high school, so I saw London as a place I could be myself without judgement and I knew I had to get there as soon as I could.

The new single “Title” sounds quite different from what we’ve heard from you so far. What triggered the new sound?

Anger. When I wrote ‘Title’ I was reflecting upon a relationship I had last Autumn. I was pretty sad the whole time and I don’t think the person I was with was in the right headspace to love someone else so I felt pretty neglected. After we broke up, I tried to look at this person and our relationship with sympathy, but I think deep down I held a lot of anger about how I was treated, and “Title” is how that came out.

“Title” is for all the shitty boyfriends out there. Can you tell us more about the meaning of the song?

Title is a ‘fuck you’ song. I wanted to write a song that was plainly honest and literal, laying out the ways that I was hurt in a relationship. I tried to capture the fast-paced and chaotic energy of the relationship – it was a complete blur from start to finish, culminating in an explosive breakup.

When can we expect even more new music from you?

I have another EP coming out early next year, it’s more matured and self assured but still has that Kai Bosch brand of reflection and melancholia! The next single is dropping in January and it’s one of my favourites.

Kai Bosch’s new single “Title” is available on all platforms.
