Everybody Needs Me

The brand new Country Pop single from Kai Rush, available March 20. “Everybody Needs Me” is about losing yourself in the process of building a life, and how living passively can destroy those around you. It has a foolishly arrogant hook, shouting “Everybody’s dead obsessed with me” and displays an upbeat energy in the song. This is contrasted by the deep pains illustrated in the verses. The upcoming music video for the single was put together by a team of Emerson College film students and directed by Colin Dowse. There is a comedic element to the video as we see Kai posted as a lowly restaurant janitor who idiotically attempts to become a famous chef, drawing sharp parallels to the lyrical content of the record.

embrace vulnerability.

Kai Rush is a “mixing pop” singer, songwriter, producer, and performer from Vallejo, California. “Mixing pop” is the intersection of any genre (soul, funk, hip-hop, folk, rock) through a concise pop hook. Kai’s goals are to put an end to radicalism by inspiring vulnerability and respecting those around you. He is also committed to “killing the doomscroll,” inspiring a step away from social media in the youth. Kai has been releasing music since 2020 and is currently playing shows in both the Bay Area, California, and Boston, Massachusetts.

"I want to create music that embodies me in my most vulnerable form in order to connect and cultivate a new respect and understanding with those who surround us. This country becomes increasingly polarized year after year, and that has to do with radicalism and social media addiction. The goal is to take every moment with my platform to dismantle these forces."
