Singer Kai Exos Releases Debut Album ‘Houseplants’

Following his third single release We Don’t Care from this LP earlier this month, Kai Exos today drops his highly anticipated debut full LP Houseplants, The release demonstrates Kai’s growth as a singer, producer, songwriter and artist. 

Houseplants exclusively premiered on Betches, with journalist  Sara Levine raving, “..so if you’re one of those people who likes to gloat about how you knew an artist before they got big, you’re going to want to hit play [on Houseplants] and then text your group chat.”

Over the past few months, Kai Exos has been giving fans a glimpse of what was to come with singles from the album Komorebi, Broad Beans, and We Don’t Care. Kai Exos’ creativity is being noticed, with his Komorebi video enchanting viewers and amassing over 1 million views online. 

The new release follows Kai’s glowing track record of global tours and Billboard US Top 40 chart spots with Hold Out The Light and Fire & Brew from his self-titled 2018 EP Kai Exos.

Today Kai Exos shares Houseplants in its entirety, drawing on r&b, lo-fi, jazz, soul blues and more. Here are some highlights: Tugging at the cultural heartstrings of listeners while injecting feelings of nostalgia (Cypher); Kai explores and admires cultures beyond his own (Komorebi);  revisiting his own cultural upbringing (Land & Sea); family traditions engrained with him till this day (Broad Beans), and pivotal relationship moments (Evening (U Are My).

Layered with soul and emotion, Kai Exos also maintains a dreamscape bliss (Big Dreams) that often leads with thought-provoking (Zorro) and uplifting lyrics seeing Kai drift momentarily from his usual musical narrative, challenging societal norms simultaneously (We Don’t Care), and showcasing his versatility as a song-writer and producer. 

Kai Exos also reflects and appreciates (Blessed), expressing simple pleasures and brutal honesty with himself (Sci-Fi) in an LP that positions Kai Exos’ profound talent and extraordinary appeal.

Set to resonate worldwide, Kai Exos Houseplants is out today via VMP Music.
