    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

Covered in things
I should’ve thought of
That I didn’t think of
That I should have thought of

So what if it’s all
My decisions
Or my indecision
Oh I just can’t pick one

You give me so much to be afraid of
You give me so much to be afraid of
There is so damn much that I’m afraid of
You give me so much to be afraid of

But I don’t wanna lose
Yeah I just wanna win
No I don’t wanna lose
I just wanna win the war

Swallowed my pride
Packed up my things and went home early
Not wrong to go home early
Except that it steals your pride

I was a child once
I still am one I know it
But I just turned twenty
And I feel time slipping by

You give me so much to be afraid of
You give me so much to be afraid of
There is so damn much that I’m afraid of
You give me so much to be afraid of

But I don’t wanna lose
Yeah I just wanna win
No I don’t wanna lose, no
I just wanna win the war

I just wanna win
So I’ll know what I’ve been fighting for
