Bobi Kurtz’s Quadruple Release

Nesianetwork.id - Jakarta, 1st of March 2024 – .Bobi Kurtz’ self-titled EP has been completed with his quadruple release today. Violet Snow, What a Life, Green Clouds, and Jose Human are readily available to listen to on your favourite music platform.

Violet Snow is a ballad presenting a melodramatic story of the sudden end of a relationship. The lyrics and arrangement of Violet Snow were designed to paint a picture of someone who experiences a broken heart in cold weather.

What a Life is a lively and joyous tune, but contains an underlying message. It expands on Bobi’s religious upbringing and “tragic” love life during his teenage years -- complemented by sports and art references from his earlier years. 

Green Clouds is a story set in a meadow where two lovers are lying down on a slightly overcast afternoon – a place and condition where they are happy to be alongside each other all day. They engage in an intimate interaction as their minds wander into even more eclectic, dreamy places.

Lastly, Jose Human opens with a tale from a Caucasian man called Buster Jeffers, a Vietnam War veteran who struggles to fit into modern society without being vilified. As the song progresses, it will embark on multiple stories from Tyler Farrokh, Terome Stenson, and Joe Gonzalez.

“Some of the songs in this EP were written as far back as 2017, and they finally came to see the light of day. I think they’re different from one another, but each still has the soul of Bobi Kurtz,” Bobi explains.

“These songs are deeply personal – and although not every tune is directly telling a personal story of mine, they are of ideas or feelings that are ingrained in me.”

“For instance, Jose Human wasn’t easy to write in the slightest. But I think as a person looking from afar who has deep concern about the dynamic, I’d like to write a song to pay my respect to the people oppressed. Of course, I’m in no way shape or form to lecture people, nor was it ever the intention, but I just want to send my sympathy towards them.”

“Green Clouds and Violet Snow are two songs that depict polarizing feelings that I’ve experienced, which are elation and heartbreak.”

“Meanwhile, What a Life is an homage to my childhood to my 20’s – where everything was dreamy, puzzling and confusing. It’s not that it left a bad taste in my mouth, but I reckon it was vastly different from what most people went through. I tell you what, though, it certainly shaped my unorthodox perspective of life,” Bobi elaborated.
