2024 has already proven to be a monumental year for independent artist Alexandra Kay, as she joyfully ticks off a major goal from her dream board. In a serendipitous moment, the talented female artist found herself sitting in her car, tuning in to SiriusXM’s The Highway, where her heartfelt ballad, “Everleave,” from her debut album ‘All I’ve Ever Known,’ made its debut.
As the delicate melody of the track began to fill the airwaves, Kay was overwhelmed with shock and excitement, realizing that it was indeed her own voice and personal story being broadcasted. “Wait, this is my song,” she exclaimed, unable to contain her enthusiasm. Spontaneously, Kay joined in, singing along to the poignant lines of the chorus, “Maybe I can hurt forever if it keeps you happy / ‘Cause there are days I think we’ll be alright…”
“This stuff happens because of you guys”
Towards the conclusion of the clip, Kay turned to the camera, addressing her fans directly. “The only reason why this stuff happens is because you guys listen to my music, because you have streamed this song five million times in a month and a half, because you guys call your radio stations, because you make it happen for me. I’m completely independent, I don’t get any of this without you. So thank you from the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in me, thank you SiriusXM for giving me a shot. I love you guys, and I’m in shock,” she admitted with an infectious wide smile.
In a heartfelt caption accompanying the video, Kay underscored the significance of this moment, proving wrong those who doubted that a “sad ballad” by an independent artist could make it on the airwaves. This milestone not only marks a personal triumph for Alexandra Kay but also stands as a testament to the unwavering support of her dedicated fan base.
