New York-based singer-songwriter Alexa Kate has crafted a time capsule of wistful confessions with her deeply personal sophomore EP, Over Nostalgic, out now. The six-track project—a follow-up to her debut wishing you well—immerses listeners in the bittersweet tension between longing and letting go, wrapped in lush, lyric-driven pop.
A Melancholic Masterpiece
At the emotional core of the EP lies “steal the car”, a haunting ballad about broken promises and the exhaustion of waiting for someone to change. *”It’s for anyone who’s ever stared at their phone, hoping *this time* would be different,”* Kate shares. The track’s cinematic swell mirrors the ache of misplaced trust, solidifying her knack for turning intimate heartbreak into anthemic catharsis.
Fans have already latched onto earlier singles like the addictive “again & again” and the wistful “wish i met you when”, but the EP’s title track, “Over Nostalgic”, cuts even deeper. Here, Kate unpacks the self-sabotaging comfort of clinging to memories, her voice floating over dreamy production that feels like flipping through a scrapbook you can’t bear to close.
Born to Connect
Raised in New York and polished in Nashville and LA, Alexa Kate has always used music as a bridge—whether through her daily TikTok Lives or the raw honesty of her songwriting. “I peel back layers until I’m ready to share things other people would never let see the sun,” she admits, citing Taylor Swift as an early inspiration.
But for Kate, nothing compares to the magic of live connection: “Hearing fans sing my lyrics back to me? That’s when I know this is what I’m meant to do.”

Over Nostalgic is available now on all platforms—a gorgeously crafted ode to the past that begs to be played “again & again.”
