Chapter 1: What inspired Kita Alexander's latest album 'Rage'?
Anger doesn't need to be bashing a wall, yelling at someone. I don't think it needs to be that at all. It just needs to be acknowledged and going, oh, you're there, I see you, you're trying to warn me of something or you're trying to tell me something.
MUSIC Hi, I'm Sarah and this is Small Talk. It's not quite a news headline, but it is what the girls are talking about. And today I'm here with Australian pop star, Keita Alexander.
Welcome. Thank you. I was just like rubbing my lips together, like dozing off, thinking we're going to stop.
I was like, oh God.
Don't close off me.
Hello. Hello. Thank you so much for coming on. I'm such, such a big fan of yours. Genuinely. Can I put you on the spot and ask what song? Hotel. I actually was going to do my first question that I opened with asking you about because... I mean, it came out years ago. It was like 2017. You've done so much since. It's almost like weird that I'm saying the oldest one.
Yeah, I know what you mean. But also when a song stands the test of time, it means it's good. It really does.
I mean, this is going to sound insane now, but I was playing your music with my roommates last night because I was like, I've heard this interview. And I played them Hotel and I go, I've always said this will be my funeral song. And isn't that like so morbid?

Chapter 2: How does Kita Alexander incorporate wellness into her daily routine?
But I mean that in like the nicest way. And they were like, it's so great. I'm someone who loves listening to lyrics and decoding as much as I can. I can't even quite decode that song. Can you tell me what that's about?
I can decode it for you. It's about my sister. Because she passed away when I was 17. So almost like 13 years ago now. Oh my gosh. Yeah, I wrote a bunch of songs about her, trying to mourn her through songwriting. And then, yeah, that was like, it was a lot of songs I wrote. And then that one clicked. And I was like, this is it. I remember my A&R at the time. He's still A&R's Ed Sheeran.
But he believed in that song, like, immediately. He showed Ed Sheeran and was like, look at this song. Like, we love it. Ed Sheeran. I know Ed Sheeran's heard it. But I love it. And I think maybe someone else has said it'll be my funeral song. Like, I've seen it written online somewhere somewhere. No, I think so. I think I have a song for every occasion. Weddings, divorces.
Okay, what's the wedding song? Talk us through.
Date Night.

Chapter 3: What role does meditation play in Kita's life and career?
Yeah. I feel like that one just could be a really cute first dance song. I know people have walked down the aisle to Between You and I. I do love that. I also love Damaged On. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. I feel so grateful to some of my songs because they weren't necessarily singles on my EPs or like immediately pushed really hard, but they've had a life of their own. And I think that's so cool.
Yeah, they really have. And then obviously it feels like it only just happened, but Atmosphere. Yeah, it does still feel fresh.
Life is moving too fast. That's right. I know, I've completely lost track of this.
That would have been like two years ago now. I know. Don't. But I'm also loving this new album, Rage. Have you got like a favorite song that hasn't come out yet? Yeah. Because this comes out next month, right? Yes.
I love Telepathy Is Real. So this is like this angelic song that talks about how I like to believe whatever people say to me. Like I... even if they've proven me wrong countless times, I still want to believe them. Like I want to believe that the world is a kind place and everyone's really nice. And so conspiracies I can fall for pretty easily.

Chapter 4: How does Kita manage anxiety and stress in her profession?
And I talk about just believing in a lot of things, but then I can get quite existential about love. And like when people, my friends like me, or even people in my close friend group, work colleagues, I start to doubt myself and be like, like, do they actually love me?
Do they actually like me? So it's like imposter syndrome kind of feeling. Yeah.
I don't know. It's probably just because it has to do with me and I have self-doubt and I struggle with my brain and what it's thinking.
Real.
Relatable. So I like that song. I think it just touches on something quite unique about me, which is like I love to believe in the magical and the mystical and love is such a magical thing. And I struggle to believe in that. Like why that one?
You've been in the game for a long time now. You're like 18 when you started out? Yeah. Weird.
I have been in it for a long time, but I don't feel like I've been in it for a long time because I started releasing and then I had kids.
Yeah.
So I really, I was still releasing bits of music, but I took a step back and it doesn't really, like my head was not in the game at all. At 18? Like from 20. From 20, because I had my kid at 20. That's so young. I know.

Chapter 5: What challenges does Kita face with expressing anger?
But it's my it's so good for my ego because I'm like, yes, I'm still young. Or if I go to the park, I went to the park on Mother's Day. And this I mean, maybe it's creepy that most of it. No, no, no. There's women, too. There's young girls that say they're like, wait, I thought you were like the cousin.
Yeah. Yeah, yep. Or like the nanny or something.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I should just roll with it most of the time. But when I was at the park on Mother's Day, because it was Mother's Day, they're like, oh, that's so nice taking your siblings out to give your mum some space. I am the mum. It was all like dads and the kids at the park giving the mum space and I'm at the park like, sometimes.
I'm surprised by how confident people go in swinging. Yeah. It's like saying you're pregnant when you're not.
Yeah. I'm like, wow, that is bold.
Yeah.
Like leave me alone. But also thank you.
No, but there was something really cool I read about when you were starting out as well that you had this friendship because you were in the same management with Dua Lipa and that you were able to then open for her as well. Yeah. What was that like starting out together? Yeah.
Um, it was really sweet at the time. There was three of us who were same age, like kind of similar pop music and management were trying to break one of us. And I don't know, I loved all, like it was Charlotte O'Sea, Dua and I, Charlotte and Dua were both UK based artists. And it was just nice to like be in the same boat with someone.

Chapter 6: How does Kita balance being a pop star and a mother?
I'd come all the way over from Australia and she was just so always so friendly to me. And like at dinners, I think we went to a birthday one night. We were always in the same
circle and at the same studios so we're getting lunch and stuff and it was really nice and and what was it like opening for like very special biggest show I've ever been to and I'm just so proud of her and how far she's come she's such an inspiration to me with how hard she worked
I know. Well, I saw something. When was it that I saw the interview? It was like Hack or something like that. And you were laughing about manifesting. Oh, wait.
It was Tyrone and Abby and I talked about my tits, which is so funny. Why I talk about that is because from a young age. Also, like, of course I say that. I always say when I go into the studio with them, I'm rogue because they're friends and I will say dumb stuff.
No, it was so funny. I was like, you were like, I've manifested Julie, but and my tits. Yeah.
I mean, they've shrunk now, but like when I was a kid, I didn't have any like young teenage girl. And I remember on my manifestation board, I had this big house. I had cats. I got my cats. I got my big house now. Like, honestly, I know when I wish.
You were doing manifestation boards at Howell?
Yes. Oh, probably. I reckon 13 is when I watched The Secret, which is this old movie. And it was a book as well, right?
Yeah.

Chapter 7: What are Kita's thoughts on the societal expectations of women regarding emotions?
And he would sit in the chair. He sat back and he imagined himself driving the Ferrari. And it was all about you've got to believe you're doing it. But I have that visual from the movie. That's all I remember.
I remember my mum telling me about The Secret when I was a kid as well. But I didn't really, like, I love doing mood boards and manifesting now, but it took me a while to figure it out. Yeah. Or like get on board with it.
I think there's like one thing on my childhood manifestation list that hasn't come true and it's a collab with Floom. But I'm like, it'll happen.
No worries.
I think he lives in town and I'm learning to DJ at the moment just for fun. It's really hard. It is. It is. I'm sorry for all the DJ guys I made fun of. It's actually quite hard. If you want to do it real, I was... Everyone's like, you'll be able to do it, Kitty. You know how to be in rhythm and you have good taste. And I was like, yeah, yeah, I got this. Get in there.
Immediately what they tell me, I'm like, yeah, I got it. And then all the little, like... The beat signatures, the times, the buttons are flashing at me. I'm like getting overstimulated. I'm like, I forget everything. I went back. It was like 11 p.m. last night and I was writing everything.

Chapter 8: How does Kita envision the future of her music and wellness journey?
I learned I had to get it off my brain. But anyways, I was trying to figure out which of my friends have DJ decks in Byron that I can go borrow or just practice at. Holly, here's my way in. I forget what I was saying. Manifestation. Yeah, the tits thing. On my mood board, I tried to hide it from my sister and my family. And I did a W with two dots. She's like, they're tits.
I'm like, no, it's a W. And she's like, they're boobs. And then like I had my first son and I mean, I had great tits before that, but like with my first kid, my tits were as big as my stomach. So if I wore a baggy t-shirt, my tits came out past my stomach and you could barely tell I was pregnant because it was just tits. It's one big tip.
You over-mativested. Yeah, I really did. No, it sort of makes sense what I wanted to talk to you about today because I love when I watch your TikToks and your socials. I do. Okay, thank you. And you talk a lot about wellness and meditation. And I guess I wanted to dive into that a little bit about like your health journey and like what your wellness routine looks like.
Yeah. My wellness journey started pretty young. My mom is a huge conspiracist theorist and like was way too crazy healthy. Like mom vibes. Yeah. We're doing like green smoothies from the day I can remember. And I'm like chugging them back for breakfast. Weirdly, though, it didn't fade away, you know, when you're raised in a really religious family and then you become atheist.
Like, no, I... Yeah, then you, like, have Maccas of 15 and go, wait, fuck this.
No, I'm really... I mean, yeah, I'll eat a block of chocolate and I still like to slurge and I went through my partying era when I was too young. But also it just happened in moderation for me.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, it stayed with me. I've had my moments with it where I'm like, I look at the guy smoking ciggies who's got gangrene and is 80 and I'm like, how are you still alive? No offence. But, like, my sister and I were so healthy and I lost my sister to cancer. So I do have this, like, I still have a torn relationship with health.
And I think why I'm so into health now is because I'm kind of scared of dying.
