Illinois native Alexandra Kay is brewing more than just coffee these days—she’s stirring up quite the musical storm! With her upcoming album, Second Wind, set to drop on October 24, Kay is ready to show fans a whole new side of her artistry. Gone are the heart-wrenching ballads about her divorce; instead, she’s diving into a world of love, blending country, pop, and a little hip-hop flair. Talk about a refreshing pick-me-up!
This latest release is not just a change in sound but also reflects Kay’s personal journey towards healing and happiness, a journey heavily influenced by her boyfriend and bandmate, Rocko Beall. Her creative process sounds like a delightful mix of romance and inspiration, making it clear that writing love songs feels just as natural as her early heartbreak tunes. Of course, no blog about Alexandra would be complete without mentioning her side gig—owning a coffee shop back in Illinois. I guess we now know why her music is so strong; she’s been caffeinating and creating!
Fans may remember her viral “Coffee Covers” that introduced her to the country scene. Now, she’s taking her new love-filled melodies on tour, sharing both her music and musings. It’s perfect timing for a hot cup of coffee and a warm tune as the weather gets cooler. So, what do you think of artists mixing coffee and creativity? Is it a recipe for success?
