Kim K feat. BODUR
Ebi Soda
Released: 11 Jun 2024
Label: Tru Thoughts
Fresh from performing six shows at this year’s SXSW festival and supporting club pioneer UNKLE (Mo’ Wax) at the Brighton Festival, jazz disruptors Ebi Soda link up with London-born, Turkish-Sri Lankan artist BODUR on the aspirational and infectious ‘Kim K’, their first tune together since ‘Run For President’ from debut LP ‘Ugh’. The new track also accompanies the announcement of their ‘Collaborations and Remixes’ project ‘Vol. 1’, a new EP concept where the band explore their influences outside of jazz and work with singers, MCs and those that sit somewhere in between.
Talking about the new single, Will, aka bandleader and trombonist, VVilhem adds: “Kim K is about what famous people do, and people’s aspirations to be famous. We made the song in a Golders Green flat during a heatwave, while eating Korean pork belly that Sam the drummer made. I was jumping between rooms to see which one would stop the laptop from overheating.”
