Self-titled album arrives with 11 songs

CHINESE pop sensation Cai Xukun, or more popularly known as Kun, has released his self-titled sophomore full-length album and debut project, featuring 11 songs that he co-wrote and co-produced.

Drifting between decades and genres, across rock, soul, jazz, pop and R&B, the artiste filters the timeless textures of American music’s roots with contemporary clarity to showcase his expansive vocal range.

The album even includes a feature from Grammy-nominated frequent Anderson .Paak collaborators, Free Nationals.

To celebrate the album’s release on Feb 6, Kun has shared a filmic, otherworldly music video for the album’s standout focus single Colder. The guitar-driven and emotionally raw track captures Kun haunted by regret and leaning into a darker alt-rock sound.

Its stark, cinematic production and confessional lyrics channels isolation into something visceral. Shot in Iceland, the music video has his spaceship crash landing on a planet with only a snowman as his companion.

The video was directed by Folkert Verdoorn and Simon Becks, with art direction by Dunkirk and Interstellar’s Eggert Ketilsson.

Extended tour dates announced

Accompanying the music video was the announcement of Kun’s Spring North American, UK and European tour, which includes stops in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, Chicago, New York City, DC, London and Paris.

The new dates follow major 2025 US performances, including the sold-out Fonda Theatre headlining concert and sets at Head In The Clouds Festivals in NYC and LA.

Across Asia, Kun continues to make waves, further cementing his influence in the region. Most recently, he appeared as a guest performer for a special performance on Indonesian Idol, airing on national broadcast television and reaching millions of viewers across the country.

Kun was also honoured as All-Round Artiste of the Year at Joox Top Music Night in Bangkok and headlined the inaugural Bubbling & Boiling Festival in Singapore.
