Today, Bolis Pupul shares his new single, “Spicy Crab,” the latest single from his debut solo album, Letter To Yu. The album was made with Soulwax and will be released on their label DEEWEE on March 8th - pre-order / pre-save HERE. The burgeoning techno-pop track is an ode to the spiciest crab, a signature Hong Kong dish that Bolis ate while on his first visit to the city. It follows lead single “Completely Half,” which came paired with an art-house video by Magnum photographer Bieke Depoorter, filmed in the heart of Hong Kong.  LISTEN & SHARE "SPICY CRAB"

Letter To Yu is a love letter to Bolis’ late mother who passed away in 2008 in a traffic accident. Born to a Belgian father and Chinese mother, growing up in Gent, Bolis had not negated his Chinese roots exactly – his mother was born in Hong Kong – but he certainly hadn’t embraced them. However, in the wake of his mother’s passing, he began coming to terms with his heritage. “When I started to think about my roots, instead of being ashamed of them, I started to embrace them,” he recalls. “And so it became more and more important for me to get in touch with them.” His first visit to Hong Kong in 2018 further crystalized how Bolis wanted to incorporate his Chinese legacy into his music. A primary intention on his first trip to Hong Kong was to locate where his mother – Yu Wei Wun – was born. Not wanting to forget this overwhelming experience, Bolis began writing a letter to his mother so he could properly grasp his thoughts. Much later, when the album began to properly take shape, he remembered the letter. “It became the centerpiece of this album,” he says matter-of-factly. The creation of Letter To Yu has been a pivotal and liberating experience for Bolis. “Even though this trip was very emotional and at times sad, I also had some great times that just made me really happy,” he concludes. “This resulted in a very uplifting melody where I felt like I could handle my life.” Pre-order Letter to You, here: https://bolispupul.lnk.to/letter-to-yu.  "COMPLETELY HALF" OFFICIAL VIDEO
