    Near simultaneously as she explored a deftly programmed interpretation of her fluttering folk, Kate Bollinger also began experimenting with a talented camaraderie of jazz musicians. She credits her band – comprised of Trainium, Chris Lewis, Jacob Grissom, and Jimmy Trussell – with unlocking the latent swing in her compositions, demonstrated on this summer’s delightful 'I Don’t Wanna Lose EP.' The collection’s genre-fluid charm has struck Bollinger some newfound playlist traction, without inviting cynicism that she’s some type of algorithm optimizing savant. Instead, she slots naturally onto every mood board simply because her music hits all the right notes: unhurried tempos, round-edged chord progressions, redolent yet winding melodies strung together emotively without losing their composure. The songs fall onto your ears like cool skin on a hot, sticky day, when the AC is broken but the company keeps you comfortably preoccupied. Yet none of the fancy new production or instrumental adornment undermine Bollinger’s core songwriting ability; no matter the material her words are printed on, the message holds together the medium.

lyrics

If ever you feel cold
I hope you’ll come on over
I hope you’ll think of me
Find comfort in the small things

If ever you feel ordinary
I hope you’ll think of what we’ve done
I hope you’ll think of my heart and yours
And think of all the big stuff

You’re sweet like candy
I knew it since you arrived
You make for lighter landings
I prepare for hard falls but am met with light every time

You feel to me like fiction
It never is quite real to me
You match my best depiction
Of dreams I hoped one day I might see

I waited through the winter
I hoped I’d catch some sign of spring
You came into my purview
Disrupted everything

You’re sweet like candy
I knew it since you arrived
You make for lighter landings
I prepare for hard falls but am met with light every time

If we don’t match up every time
If you leave me in the dark or outside
If some days your heart is not as full as mine
I will trust the beaten path to morning light
And hope to meet you there in some time
