Kita Alexander Announces Highly Awaited New Single "Press Pause"

Today, ARIA-Nominated, Australian pop singer-songwriter, Kita Alexander announces her highly-awaited new single "Press Pause" set for release at 6:30pm AEDT on Thursday 6 March via Warner Music Australia. PRE-SAVE HERE.

Of her forthcoming 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."

Today's new music announcement arrives alongside the news that Kita will support 3 x Grammy and 7 x BRIT Award-winning global pop powerhouse, Dua Lipa on her sold-out Radical Optimism Australian and New Zealand tour. Please see the full list of tour dates below.

"Touring with Dua is something that has been on my mind for a very long time. She delivers pure energy on stage and next-level pop performances. March and April is going to be such a party" says Kita. "I truly feel so lucky to have the opportunity to share my songs with fans, old and new, across Australia and New Zealand."

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. Announced earlier this month, Kita has joined The Great Escape (UK) line-up and will perform at The Fabrica, Brighton on Friday, May 16. Kita has also announced a special headline show at The Camden Assembly, London on Tuesday, May 20.

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.
