UK pop riser Kai Bosch isn’t here to play it safe and with his latest single “Popstar of Your Dreams,” he doesn’t have to. Taken from his new EP of the same name, this is glossy, high-drama synth-pop at its sharpest, dripping in self-awareness, ambition, and just the right amount of chaos.
Anchored by pulsing electro beats and lyrics that flirt between fantasy and vulnerability, Kai lays it all out. “Put me in your playlist, yeah what’s it gonna take to make me famous?” he sings, channeling every queer kid who ever lip-synced in the mirror and dreamed of stadium lights. It’s messy. It’s glamorous. It’s real.
The track captures everything we want in this genre: powerful choruses, sharp hooks, a wink to the absurdity of chasing pop stardom. Whether he’s a “sellout” or the “fakest bitch around,” Kai’s owning every part of the journey, because being the “popstar of your dreams” isn’t about perfection, it’s about power.
If you’re into Charli XCX, Troye Sivan, Dorian Electra, or Christine and the Queens, this one’s required listening.
