Kai’s fourth EP, which releases on April 21, will feature seven tracks:
- “Wait On Me”

- “Ridin'”
- “Off and Away”
- “Adult Swim”

A Candid Music Video
The “Walls Don’t Talk” music video stands out for its raw, unfiltered aesthetic. Instead of flashy choreography or high-concept sets, we see candid shots of Kai simply existing—walking city streets at 2 AM, grabbing snacks at a convenience store, and lying in grassy fields.
Each scene feels spontaneous and unguarded, as if you’re shadowing him through a quiet day, and he’s letting you in on the part of his life he rarely shares.
His outfit mirrors that vibe—casual yet carefully styled. He wears a white tank top from the German-Vietnamese clothing brand Aesir Studios, paired with ripped jeans, a long red belt, a dark denim baseball cap, and a simple chain.
The look is effortlessly cool but also grounded in vulnerability, which perfectly complements the song’s tone.
Soft-Spoken and Sharply Crafted
Sonically, the track blends R&B and pop into a sleek, mid-tempo groove. It has a seductive, late-night feel, driven by soft vocals that carry the weight of unspoken truths.
Kai doesn’t belt or beg for attention; rather, he sings like someone quietly confessing in the dark, where only one person can hear.
Vulnerability Behind Closed Doors
Lyrically, the song explores themes of secrecy, desire, and emotional restraint. It explores the tension between what we see and keep hidden—the relationship that exists only in the spaces no one sees.
“The walls don’t talk / But we can let ’em listen,” he sings, leaning into the thrill and comfort of something private.
The track also touches on the fragility of that privacy, with lines like “A necessary secret turns so easily to gossip,” hinting at the fear of being exposed and the strength it takes to stay emotionally guarded.
A Glimpse Into Kai’s Next Chapter
With “Walls Don’t Talk,” Kai sharpens his reputation for subtle, emotionally immersive storytelling by blending minimalism with intention and vulnerability with restraint.
The track is a tonal indicator of what listeners might expect from Wait On Me and suggests that the EP leans into late-night reflections, understated sensuality, and personal narratives.
