Cola Boyy collaborates with MGMT's Andrew VanWyngarden on new single "Kid Born in Space"

"Kid Born in Space" follows Cola Boyy's February cover of Jeb Loy Nichols' "To Be Rich Should Be a Crime", and sees the artist collaborate with MGMT's Andrew VanWyngarden. The track also features added production and was engineered by Patrick Wimberly (Chairlift).

Cola Boyy says of the track, "When I was a kid I was convinced that no one could understand what I was going through and feeling, I was embittered and angry. The song is me explaining to my younger self to let go of worries about people staring or not understanding. Everyone has their struggles, and problems that shape them."

He adds, "This track is the culmination of a true friendship. In 2018, MGMT invited me on their tour, during which we became very close. I spent time with Andrew in his studio at home in New York. When I played him "Kid Born in Space", he liked it straight away and everything happened naturally from there: James Richardson played guitars and keyboards, Patrick Wimberly (Chairlift) engineered and refined the production, and then Andrew and I finished it up in LA. I am really grateful to them."
