From Heartbreak To Healing: Alexandra Kay Announces Sophmore Album Second Wind

“I’ve done a lot of growing,” says Alexandra Kay and her upcoming sophomore album Second Wind is the proof. With over 8.6 million social followers and a fanbase that knows every lyric before release day, the Billboard charting artist is stepping into a fearless new era filled with power, growth, and heart.

The 14-track album, out on October 24, features previously released fan-favourites Feminine Energy, The Last and Cupid’s A Cowgirl, plus the fiery new single Straight For The Heart will be dropping this Friday, August 8th.

“Over the past two years, I’ve done a lot of growing, and over the last year, I’ve had the chance to write about the version of myself that’s emerged from that growth,” Kay shares. “This album reflects a new side of me, and I can’t wait for my fans to experience it live, especially the happier songs that I’m hoping they’ll be screaming right back at me from the crowd.”

Produced by Andrew DeRoberts, and with Kay co-writing all but two tracks, Second Wind follows the success of her 2023 debut All I’ve Ever Known which landed Top 10 on multiple Billboard charts. Born from the wreckage of heartbreak, that debut was in Kay’s words “survival in real time.” But Second Wind? It’s a revival.

“One of my favourite things about my fans is that somehow, even before the music is officially released, they already know every word,” she adds. “That kind of connection is rare, and this tour is going to be such a special way to close out what’s already been an unforgettable year.”

The Second Wind era kicks off with her next headlining run a 30-date US tour beginning September 26 in Atlanta, following her upcoming CCMA Awards performance with Dallas Smith on September 13. 

With her coffee shop The Coffee Girl now open in Waterloo, Illinois, a current tour run with Brad Paisley, and a viral streak that includes a 60M-view cover of Jolene, Kay is going from strength to strength and no doubt Second Wind will keep that momentum climbing.
