ARIA-Nominated, Australian pop singer-songwriter, Kita Alexander releases her highly-awaited new single “Press Pause” via Warner Music Australia. Listen HERE. This refreshing pop single immediately captivates listeners with its breezy hook that incorporates a hint of nostalgia along with its reflective lyricism.
Of the summer soaked single, Kita shares,“Press Pause is about the quiet power of being present for someone when their world feels like it’s falling apart. It’s not about fixing things or promising it’ll all be okay — it’s about holding space, staying still, and letting them know they’re not alone in the chaos.”
Fresh off support with 3 x Grammy and 7 x BRIT Award-winning global pop powerhouse, Dua Lipa on her sold-out 10-dateRadical Optimism Australian and New Zealand tour, Kita now prepares to play The Great Escape (UK) at The Fabrica, Brighton on Friday, May 16. For ticketing and festival information, please visit HERE. Kita has also announced a special headline show at The Camden Assembly, London on Tuesday, May 20.
Not one to slow down, Kita has recently signed to live agency One Fiinix for the UK and Europe, home to artists including Ed Sheeran, Olly Alexander and Tash Sultana.
Kita’s impressive catalogue of acclaimed pop anthems has garnered over 300 million global streams including 2 x ARIA Gold singles (“Damage Done” and “Like You Want To”), the ARIA Platinum “Between You & I” and the 2 x ARIA Platinum single “Hotel” and 3 x Eps.
In 2024, Kita released her highly-anticipated debut album YOUNG IN LOVE which peaked at #3 on the ARIA Australian album chart. To celebrate the release, Kita delivered a sold out album tour across the country and supported US superstar Madison Beer on her sold out arena tour.
Kita’s grand pop ambition received wide-spread celebration from Rolling Stone, NME, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Billboard, Marie Claire, RUSSH and more, as well as a 2024 ARIA Nomination for the Michael Gudinski Breakthrough Award. Kita was also ARIA nominated alongside FISHER for Song of the Year, Best Dance / Electronic Release and Best Produced Release for their co-write “Atmosphere”, which shot to #1 on the US Radio Dance Chart and has received ARIA Platinum certification. From releasing global collaborations with FISHER, Morgan Evans, LAUREL and Cyril, heralding a distinct blend of vulnerability and empowerment and a growing reputation for honest songwriting and infectious melodies, Kita Alexander is cementing herself as Australia’s next big thing.
