Kita Alexander Releases Her Highly Anticipated Sophomore Album 'Rage'
ARIA-nominated Australian singer-songwriter, Kita Alexander has today released her highly anticipated sophomore album RAGE, via Warner Music Australia. Listen HERE.
Kita Alexander's sophomore album RAGE is a reclamation of self. After a lifetime of silencing her feelings and instincts to fit the societal mold expected of women, Kita reached her breaking point. Drawing inspiration from her own life and shared experiences of others, Kita sheds her good girl expectations, searches within, and embraces her rage to meet her truest self.
Speaking on RAGE, Kita said, "Rage has been the catalyst of positive change in my life over the last couple of years. The album is about an emotion I've always had but never understood. It's me looking at it and embracing it as a new friend and realising that I don't have to shut it down or avoid looking at it. Rage has helped me find what truly matters to me and to change my life in ways that work for me."
Ultimately, Alexander's self-reflection creates a space where there is beauty in sharing, one that leads to positivity and support. Kita further shares, "Accepting myself exactly the way I am"I do get angry, I am someone whose rage is bubbling under the surface, I'm ready to go." It is a reminder that while rage can be all-encompassing, it can also be a powerful vehicle on the path toward radical self-acceptance.
RAGE was recorded live at Rockinghorse Studios in Byron Bay with producer Chris Collins, with no digital synths, and was crafted with Kita's live show firmly in mind - ensuring the songs translate seamlessly to the stage. Mixed by Oli Jacobs and mastered by Ruairi O'Flaherty, the album also sees Kita collaborating with PJ Harding (Noah Cyrus), Ehren Ebbage (Lizzie McAlpine and Myles Smith), Jamie Scott (Major Lazer and Justin Bieber), Dan Bryer (Niall Horan), and longtime collaborator Shungudzo Kuyimba (Teddy Swims and Little Mix) to craft its distinctive sound.
Last night, Kita received a first play on triple j for the album's next single, 'Worth It'. The track is an upbeat, honest, and funk-fused pop anthem that demands to be heard. Written and produced in Kita's home of Byron Bay, the track blends high-energy musicality with emotional lyricism"tying a perfect bow on this raw, 70s-inspired, sun-soaked album. Listen to the track here, and watch the music video here.
Speaking on 'Worth It', Kita said: "I've become a girl who, since the first song on this record, has acknowledged that it's okay to not be easy and palatable. It's okay to be difficult and kick up a stink, It's worth opening my mouth. It's worth saying something. The result is, if both people in the relationship are voicing their feelings then change can come, things can get better."
Kita will take the record on the road around Australia, Europe and the UK. The RAGE Tour will kick off in Melbourne on September 12, with shows in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth to follow, before Kita heads to Europe from October 14 and wraps up in the UK on October 23. Tickets are on sale now and further details are available at kitaalexander.com
RAGE arrives two years after Kita's highly-acclaimed debut album YOUNG IN LOVE which debuted at #3 on the ARIA Australian Album Chart and sparked a sold-out national tour. Kita's grand pop ambition received wide-spread acclaim from Rolling Stone, NME, Billboard, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Marie Claire, RUSSH and more, as well as a 2024 ARIA nomination for the Michael Gudinski Breakthrough Award. In the same year, Kita was 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 is 2 x ARIA Platinum certification.
Since her debut album, Kita has continued to cement her pop prowess. In 2025, Kita opened for 3x Grammy and 7x BRIT Award–winning global pop powerhouse Dua Lipa on the sold-out, 10-date Radical Optimism Australian and New Zealand Tour. She also travelled to the United Kingdom to perform at The Great Escape, as well as her sold-out headline show in London, before returning home for her Australian headline Press Pause Tour. Kita released three singles in 2025, including 'Press Pause', 'I Don't Wanna Go Home' and 'Bluray'. Notably, 'Press Pause' earned Kita a 2025 ARIA nomination for Best Pop Release which she performed at the 2025 ARIA Awards.
Kita's impressive catalogue of acclaimed pop anthems has garnered over 500 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. From releasing global collaborations with FISHER, Morgan Evans, LAUREL and CYRIL, supporting international artists including Dua Lipa and Maddison Beer, Kita Alexander continues her ascendant as Australia's next big thing.
