There are some artists that are delightfully one genre, but then there are other artists, who push the boundaries, making for a fresh and captivating new sound. American Idol alum and SONY Nashville recording artists, Kat & Alex are the latter. The now engaged duo creates country music with Latin flair that is as compelling as ever.

Both of the new songs released today, “Heartbreak Tour” and “You and the Radio”, showcase different sides of the duo’s undeniable talent. Fittingly so, “Heartbreak Tour” is a gut-wrenching jam that conveys an all too familiar break-up story. The song feels radio-ready; despite, its somber content. Kat begins the song with a powerful vocal that then expands into killer harmonies between the duo. Alex takes the second verse, showcasing his equally impressive range.

“I be pulling all-nighters with you baby // Telling everyone how you drive me crazy // Right now I don’t know what I’m singing for // On my heartbreak tour”

On the other hand, “You and the Radio” is a more uplifting and positive song that feels just right for summertime. The song is all about a love interest that is that romance you have been waiting for. Everything about that person just lights you up inside. The song is fun and creative, even name-dropping some old-school country classics like “Fishin’ In The Dark” and “Strawberry Wine,” but it’s the guitars and the believability of the couple’s love story that makes the song what it is.

If you were not a fan of Kat & Alex before, give these new tracks a listen and we bet you will be.
