And I had never tried that vibe ever before. “My sisters loved Marianas Trench, Sum 41, blink-182-they were obsessed with that type of music. But that female doesn’t have a name-she’s kind of like a figurative being that I just pull inspiration from.” It’s not so specifically for all females in general it kind of stays in the pocket of this album by being about one specific female. So, with this song, I really wanted to give back to them. “I grew up with three sisters and a mother that were very strong individuals in my life, and they shaped the man I am today.
Kanye used to do that, so we tried it out.” And when that distortion hits at the end, that’s when all the emotions let loose. This song cuts like a dagger into that feeling of seeing the gravesite from the start-you know what’s about to happen, but you don’t really want to face it yet. “More than anything, the theme of this project is escapism. So, I wanted to throw that to the universe right off the bat, and get that out of the way before we dive into who Corben is.” When you’re so new in the industry, and you don’t have a manager or any guidance, it’s going to be very easy for you to get lost in it, or you could fuck up your entire career by signing one messed-up contract. I have artists reaching out to me every day for advice, and they’re getting contacted by these bloodsuckers. “The reason why I wanted to put ‘VULTURES’ second is it taps into the elephant in the room, which is the bloodsuckers in the music industry. It’s kind of like shooting myself before it begins, in a way!” So, basically, what I’m saying is, ‘OK, if we’re about to really do this, just know I gave it my all.’ If you love it or if you hate it, this is it, no matter what. “On ‘DUSK,’ I’m admitting, ‘If it’s time for me to say I lost it/Just know I tried/I’ll keep that to my casket.’ Those are the very first words on the album.
“It feels like gladiator music,” Boslen says, proudly-and with this track-by-track guide, he invites you to get in the ring. But these disparate elements are strategically stitched together through textured, ambient interludes and a cinematic sense of drama and grandeur.

In showing us who he really is, Boslen reveals the full breadth of his musical vision, as he bounds between streetwise trap bangers, wounded R&B balladry, pop-punky melodies, Afrobeats-inspired bops, vocalized guitar solos, and even a boom-bapped tribute to Vancouver-rap pioneers Rascalz (via a prominent sample of their 1997 jam “Blind Wid da Science”). So, DUSK to DAWN builds on that theory and dives into who Corben really is, and how you can turn your vulnerability into empowerment.” “We pulled a lot of inspiration from Carl Jung’s shadow theory, which says that everybody has a shadow that they’re scared to face-they’re scared to face their vulnerabilities and biggest weaknesses. “It’s a story of an individual that faces his own self-hate, or his own shadow,” Boslen tells Apple Music. With his inaugural long-player, DUSK to DAWN, Boslen drew inspiration from the all-time greats: Kanye, Cudi, Travis Scott, The Weeknd-i.e., master conceptualists who turn albums into events. You only get one opportunity to make your first full-length album, and Vancouver singer/rapper Corben Bowen-aka Boslen-has certainly made the most of his.
