There are plenty of pop songs out there about anxiety, happiness, love, and embracing life’s moments of uncertainty. But Alexa Kate, a New York-native artist who puts her fans above all, finds a way to write about all of these topics beautifully in her new single, “good for long,” wrapped up in an unforgettable melody that her fans are more than grateful for. As a new fan, I can definitely attest to that.
Starting with the same haunting guitar riff that many indie pop artists know by heart, Kate knows how to build off of it. That’s where the strength of her music lies. It builds, going from a quiet image of standing in the street looking up at the sky into a wave of emotions that make the listener feel vulnerable but listened to.
Kate has a talent for songwriting; that much is clear through her lyrics. She makes it effortlessly easy to flash back to the moment of waiting for everything to fall apart, feeling like something is too good to be true—too good to stay good for long.
It is comforting and heartbreaking at the same time, and Alexa Kate makes it haunting in repeated chords and words, giving fans the perfect song to put on loop.
