Alexandra Kay recently shared a heartfelt message with fans, reflecting on her journey as an independent artist for the past six years. In her post, she expressed gratitude to those who have supported her along the way, from her dedicated team to her beloved fans.
Kay, who recently signed a record deal with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, first looked back on her time building her dreams into a reality without the help of a major label behind her.
“For the past six years, I’ve poured my heart into being an independent artist—believing in myself, investing in my music, and building a team that gave everything to help me grow,” she wrote.
She went on to personally thank her manager, Beth Keith, and other members of her band and crew who have “slept in vans, bandwagons, nasty hotels and still got up and crushed it every night.”
The rising star made sure to give a shoutout to her amazing fans, recognizing that without them, this wouldn’t be possible. “AND THE FANS,” she wrote, “who have made every dream I have ever had come true.”
Looking ahead to the future of her career, Alexandra Kay said she knew she needed support to take her music to country radio. She explained that after years of conversations and careful consideration, she has officially partnered with BBR Music Group.
“As I looked toward the next chapter, I knew I wanted to make an impact at country radio, that has always been so important to me. That brought me back to a conversation in 2021 with Jon Loba at BBR,” she shared. “No matter how many meetings I had, I could never shake the feeling that BBR was where I belonged. This partnership has been four years in the making…”
After penning the heartfelt message to fans, the singer/songwriter released her brand new single, “Cupid’s A Cowgirl.”
“I had just as much fun writing this song with Thrasher Gruft and Cheyanna Rose Arnspiger, as I’ve had promoting it these past couple of weeks,” she shared of the song. “I’m pretty sure we disturbed every other writing room in BMG that day, as we jumped on the couches and screamed the chorus for the demo. This song represents my lover-girl era. She is fun and pink and playful and thriving. Cupid is a cowgirl, and she knows exactly what she wants.”
The stars aligned and now, Alexandra Kay is in the midst of her “Cupid’s A Cowgirl” Tour, which kicked off this week in Florida. Next, after finishing her “Cupid’s A Cowgirl” Tour, she’ll head to the U.K. and Europe for her All I’ve Ever Known Tour, which has already sold out in Amsterdam, Glasgow, Birmingham, Belfast, and Manchester.
