Australian pop singer-songwriter Kita Alexander continues to solidify her position as a vibrant force in the music scene, recently dropping her infectious new track, 'I Don't Wanna Go Home', through Warner Music Australia. This anthem arrives hot on the heels of her acclaimed single 'Press Pause', further showcasing Alexander's refreshing pop sensibilities and knack for crafting truly memorable hooks.
'I Don't Wanna Go Home' captures that universal feeling of wanting a magical moment to last forever. Its chant-like refrain, "I don’t wanna go home yet baby," is instantly relatable, designed to resonate with anyone who’s ever wished a good time wouldn't end. Kita herself describes the song's genesis, stating, "I wrote this song entirely for all my fans. When we’re at a show together and it’s the last song in the set and none of us want it to end." This heartfelt dedication shines through, making it an undeniable future live favourite.
The release of 'I Don't Wanna Go Home' coincided with the commencement of Kita Alexander's Australian Headline Press Pause Tour. Kicking off in Melbourne at the Northcote Theatre on July 11th and followed by a performance in Brisbane at the Princess Theatre on July 12th, the tour continues with stops in Sydney (Factory Theatre, July 26th), Adelaide (Lion Art Factory, August 8th), and Perth (The Rechabite, August 15th).
These headline shows follow a whirlwind period for Alexander, who recently opened for global pop sensation Dua Lipa on her sold-out 'Radical Optimism' tour across Australia and New Zealand. She also ventured to the UK, captivating crowds at The Great Escape festival and performing a sold-out headline show in London, further cementing her international appeal.
Beyond her musical endeavours, Kita Alexander has become a prominent figure in Australian culture, gracing the cover of Cosmopolitan Australia and serving as the face of Queensland Tourism's 'That Queensland Holiday Feeling' campaign. Her impressive back catalogue boasts over 300 million global streams, featuring ARIA Gold singles such as 'Damage Done' and 'Like You Want To', the ARIA Platinum 'Between You & I', and the double ARIA Platinum hit 'Hotel'.
With a distinct blend of vulnerability and empowerment woven into her honest songwriting and infectious melodies, Kita Alexander's journey is one to watch.
