Alex Kate – Sunshine (2021)

Alex Kate is taking listeners on a journey out of the depths of sadness and into the warm embrace of intimacy with ‘Sunshine’. With a melody as light as the name, the track swells with atmospheric synths and ethereal vocals. On the journey to something bright, she brings a touch of yearning to the strong beats of the single.

As a lead-up to her debut EP Call Me Human, the track offers insight into her fusion style that mixes bold movements with cinematic flows of folk-inspired vocals. Using her classical training, she brings the experience of professional orchestras and operas to her contemporary sound. While she has been writing music for as long as she can remember, it was only once the pandemic hit that she realised that she wanted to share them with the world.



‘Sunshine’ softly washes over your senses with an opening line that is steeped in a bone-deep yearning. The strong beat of the track vibrates in your chest and gets your heart beating in time with it. There is a feeling to the beat that makes you feel like it is building up to something. This something is the burst of pastel colours that comes with the chorus. The melody is graceful in its movement as it touches on loneliness before swelling with the bliss of being around someone you care about. The soaring flow of the music is amazing and opens a warmth in your soul like a flower blossoming.

The sublime movement of the music is topped by Kate’s vocals that bring a touch of tender folk. Her voice is like dew in the early morning as the rising sunlight glints off it. As the music soars on the chorus, her vocals bring a flying sense of happiness to your soul. The intimacy described in the lyrics embrace you and pull you into a comforting hug that leaves you feeling light. As you listen to the track, any lingering sadness in your soul will be thrown off through the tender and loving flow.

Alex Kate draws you out of sadness and into the warm embrace of a loved one in the flowing and flying sounds of ‘Sunshine’. The melody is delicate as it leads you to soar on the wings of intimacy and affection. Her vocals are ethereal as the glint multi-colours light into a soft rainbow that frees you and fills you with happiness.
