Kita Alexander is an Australian singer. Her debut single, “My Own Way”, gained national airplay on Triple J and reach #95 on the ARIA singles chart. Kita Alexander has a lot of questions and makes a lot of demands on her debut jam. Summer vibes on Kita Alexander’s debut single, My Own Way.
Set against found footage, washed out shots of idyllic Australian beaches and numerous clips of cooler-than-cooler surfers, it’s treads on the right side of the line between really slick and falling in to cliche territory. Sound wise, there’s an obvious HAIM comparison to be made, however it also reminds me of the more outwardly pop orientated moments of Toro y Moi’s career so far.
Kita Alexander: Like You Want To
Born 1996 in Brisbane and raised in Port Macquarie, Kita developed an early love for music and started singing and playing the guitar when she was just 8 years old. Inspired by the rockers of the 80’s, Kita cites Tom Petty, Rodriguez, Patti Smith, Lou Reed and Joe Cocker as some of her early influences. In her youth, Kita spent many days with her mum at her fruit stall on Port Macquarie market, where she passed the time by busking with covers of the likes of Fleetwood Mac and Queen. By the age of 12 she was already writing her own songs on guitar.
Kita Alexander: Like You Want To
Kita Alexander: Like You Want To Lyrics:
On the edge of your dream you don’t seem to see me,
Only what you wanna see
Oh, what you wanna be? Why won’t you come with me?
Take a piece of this, be free
I want to take you to the highest,
Believe, we’ll get there (I’ll take you there)
I’ll take you to the highest, Like you want me to, can I take you there?
Like you want me to (Don’t you wanna?)
Say it like you want to (Don’t you wanna?) Feel the same thing I do (Don’t you wanna?)
You know I’ve always got you, ’cause I got you, yeah, I do!
Don’t give in, try not to surrender to the beat,
To the beat of many tender
Please don’t fall behind it, stay with me here inside
Your dreams, do you ever wonder?
I want to take you to the highest,
Believe, we’ll get there (I’ll take you there)
I’ll take you to the highest,
Like you want me to, can I take you there?
Like you want me to (Don’t you wanna?) Say it like you want to (Don’t you wanna?)
Feel the same thing I do (Don’t you wanna?) You know I’ve always got you, ’cause I got you, yeah I do!
Say it like you want to (Don’t you wanna?) Feel the same thing I do (Don’t you wanna?)
You know I’ve always got you, ’cause I got you, yeah I do!
Can I take you higher than you’ve ever been? Can I take you higher than you’ve ever been?
Can I take you higher than you’ve ever been? I’ll take you to the highest
Like you want me to, can I take you there? I’ll take you there!
Say it like you want to (Don’t you wanna?) Feel the same thing I do (Don’t you wanna?)
You know I’ve always got you, ’cause I got you, yeah I do!
Say it like you want to (Don’t you wanna?)
Feel the same thing I do (Don’t you wanna?)
You know I’ve always got you, ’cause I got you, yeah I do!
Can I take you higher than you’ve ever been? Can I take you higher than you’ve ever been?
Can I take you higher than you’ve ever been? Can I take you higher than you’ve ever been?
Can I take you higher than you’ve ever been? Like you want me to.
