Get ready to meet Alexa Kate — she’s already excited to meet you. For singer-songwriter Alexa Kate, connection is the ultimate North Star. Born, raised, and now based back in New York, Alexa also spent time honing her craft in Nashville and Los Angeles, where she solidified her passion for songwriting. Inspired early on by powerful female voices like Taylor Swift, Alexa has been writing for as long as she can remember. She’s committed to sharing her most authentic voice, even when this feels intimidating: “I peel back layers until I’m ready to share things other people would never let see the sun,” she says.
Her latest single, “to my younger self (Roses)”, is an introspective anthem that reframes the doubts of youth by envisioning the admiration your younger self would feel towards your present achievements. The song reflects on success through the lens of youthful admiration and serves as a message to your younger self, with the assurance that everything will work out, sometimes even better than you imagined.
“to my younger self (Roses)” begins with a gentle piano melody that sets a reflective tone. Alexa’s emotive vocals deliver poignant lyrics like, “Little did you know when it all started /
That someday everyone would know your heart and / Those voices in your head would draw a crowd almost every night”. The song’s chorus swells with a lush arrangement, reinforcing the message of self-acceptance and triumph over adversity.
