He decided to follow his heart and pursue music full-time. With a few critical acclaims under his belt, a couple #1\u2019s on The Hype Machine, winning The International Songwriting Competition for Best Unsigned and a few other achievements to his name, Kai Straw put heart, soul and sweat into his flurry of tracks (releasing one a month since he started his new project May), each a little more creative and honing on his craft to finally hold a serious contender with \u201cAre You Coming With Me?\u201d. It\u2019s the start of a turn in our opinion. A turn to best fitting songwriting and sparkling production value that complement his vocal performance best. It really shines here with interspersed falsettos on the layered beats and a groovy bassline to boot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"listen-to-kai-straws-latest-jam-are-you-coming-with-me\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Listen to <strong>Kai Straw<\/strong>\u2018s latest jam: \u201c<strong>Are You Coming With Me?<\/strong>\u201c<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/903634669&color=%239c2441&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true\"><\/iframe><div style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc;line-break: anywhere;word-break: normal;overflow: hidden;white-space: nowrap;text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;font-weight: 100;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/kaistraw\" title=\"Kai Straw\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kai Straw<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/kaistraw\/are-you-coming-with-me\" title=\"Are You Coming with Me?\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Are You Coming with Me?<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Picture your favourite crush slowly and sensually peeling clothes and feeling that shiver down your spine as well as your partner\u2019s emotional state rendering through the naked skin. \u201cAre You Coming With Me?\u201d is the auditory equivalent of sex.\u00a0The track suggests plenty more with a seductive guitar riff, Kai Straw\u2019s crooning abilities with the high-notes reached in an unmistakeable climax, finally, all the innuendo gems that populate the lyrics that could make anyone blush at this point are just a few of the reasons why you should let listen to this particular track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"are-you-coming-with-me-is-kai-straws-sixth-single-since-starting-that-project-in-may\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cAre You Coming With Me?\u201d\u00a0is <strong>Kai Straw<\/strong>\u2018s sixth single since starting that project in May.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img  decoding=\"async\"  data-attachment-id=\"68797\"  data-permalink=\"https:\/\/sodwee.com\/blog\/2020\/10\/kai-straw-are-you-coming-with-me\/734b9cb4-7081-4402-9c54-dd07132a0b1a-1592974629875\/\"  data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/sodwee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/734b9cb4-7081-4402-9c54-dd07132a0b1a-1592974629875.jpeg\"  data-orig-size=\"1440,1440\"  data-comments-opened=\"1\"  data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\"  data-image-title=\"Kai Straw &#8211; Are You Coming With Me?
