KUN retro pop single brings a fresh retro soul sound to fans worldwide
KUN adds a new chapter to his global run with the release of his retro pop single What a Day under 88rising. The track marks a shift in his sound. He leans into warm soul textures and clean live band energy. He recorded the song live to tape, a choice that gives the track a raw, present feel. The record carries the same joy he felt after his sold out LA show at The Fonda in August 2025.
The single highlights his English vocals. You hear more clarity, more grit, and a wider range. He keeps the production simple. You get modern polish with vintage soul and rock tones. The song talks about enjoying ordinary moments and pausing to notice life’s small wins. KUN says he wants listeners to feel like they are beside him in the studio.
The music video matches the energy. Shot in London, the one shot concept brings you into a world inspired by Old Hollywood musicals. The choreography moves with strict precision. The backdrop feels like a luxury film set. You follow KUN as he moves from scene to scene with confidence.
The release follows a strong year. KUN made his international debut in Spring 2025 with Deadman. He continued the momentum with Jasmine and a series of major US shows. He sold out The Fonda and performed at Head In The Clouds in New York and Los Angeles.
He also grew his presence across Asia. He won All Round Artist of the Year at JOOX’s Top Music Night in Bangkok. He headlined Singapore’s Bubbling and Boiling Festival. His fashion reach expanded through Gentle Monster and Charlotte Tilbury. Mugler Fragrances named him a global ambassador. He also appeared at Paris Fashion Week.
KUN, also known as Cai Xukun, sits at the center of global pop, fashion, and culture. He holds streaming records, collaborates with major creatives, and leads large scale live projects. His work across continents shows clear range. He blends emotion, style, and vision. What a Day shows his next direction and gives fans a look at a confident new era.
