Kojaque Addresses Political Division on Defiant New Single ‘That’s Gonna Be Me’
Kojaque has returned with new single ‘That’s Gonna Be Me’, a politically charged release confronting the rise of anti-migrant sentiment, political division and the growing normalisation of hate in Ireland and beyond. Out via his own label, Soft Boy Records, the track marks his first new music since this summer’s standalone release ‘Antihistamine’.
Pairing his trademark lyrical sharpness with an increasingly urgent political voice, Kojaque questions how easily public anger is directed towards vulnerable communities rather than those in positions of power. The track also warns against the dangers of political apathy, with the artist describing a need to challenge divisive voices rather than allow them to dominate the conversation.
“There's been a strategic amplification of ignorant and divisive voices, and I want to drown them out,” he explains. “Apathy feels like the path of least resistance, until one day you find yourself somewhere very bleak.”
Accompanied by a self-directed music video reflecting his frustrations with the modern world, the release follows 2023's No. 1 Irish independent album 'PHANTOM OF THE AFTERS'.
Alongside the single, Kojaque has announced his biggest headline tour to date, with 17 dates across the UK, Ireland and Europe in March 2027. Highlights include London's KOKO on St Patrick's Day and Dublin's 3Olympia Theatre.
Tickets go on general sale on 18 November at 10am GMT, with pre-sale beginning 16 November.
'That's Gonna Be Me' is out now via Soft Boy Records.
