A heart-tugging pop gem that powerfully captures the struggle of longing for consistency while being emotionally drained. 

New York-born, raised, and currently based, Alexa Kate is a rising singer-songwriter blending vulnerability with powerful pop sensibilities. Influenced early on by iconic voices like Taylor Swift, Alexa has carved out her own path—one rooted in emotional honesty and fearless self-expression. “I peel back layers until I’m ready to share things other people would never let see the sun,” she says, highlighting her commitment to creating meaningful connections through her music. Her vivid, enthralling brand of heartache-pop reaches new heights with her latest release, the six-track EP Over Nostalgic, which closes on a stirring note with the track “steal the car.”

“steal the car” offers a cinematic and emotionally immersive experience. Driven by hypnotic tones and moody, atmospheric production, the song gently pulls listeners into Alexa’s introspective world. Lines like “Maybe I’m in my head but it feels so loud” and “Now I’m begging someone to make me feel found” perfectly encapsulate the feeling of being emotionally adrift while clinging to broken promises.

Alexa’s soft, emotive vocals float effortlessly over the haunting soundscape, making “steal the car” both intimate and powerful. The track balances vulnerability and strength, capturing the ache of longing for consistency in a relationship that drains more than it gives. It’s a reminder that sometimes, letting go is the first step toward healing.

As the final chapter of Over Nostalgic, “steal the car” leaves a lasting impact—one that resonates with anyone who’s ever stayed too long, hoping things might change. With this release, Alexa Kate proves she isn’t just sharing stories—she’s building a bridge between heartache and hope, one lyric at a time.
