Country singer Alexandra Kay has found new purpose following her recent divorce. The artist tells PEOPLE that leaving her marriage opened the door to both personal healing and creative growth.
“‘Transform’ is a weird word because I don’t want anybody to think I’ve changed,” Kay explained during her summer tour with Brad Paisley. “I’ve just become a better version of myself since leaving my toxic relationship.”
The experience has become the foundation for her upcoming album.
Kay credits the end of her marriage with giving her the space to rediscover herself as both an artist and individual. The healing process wasn’t immediate, but it’s shaped her approach to songwriting in ways she didn’t expect.
Finding Her Voice Again
The singer describes the period after her divorce as challenging but ultimately liberating. She’s been channeling those emotions into new music that reflects her journey toward independence and self-discovery.
Her time on tour with Paisley has provided additional perspective on her career direction. The experience of performing for larger audiences has reinforced her commitment to authentic storytelling through music.
“I’ve just become a better version of myself since leaving my toxic relationship.”
Kay emphasizes that while the divorce was difficult, it allowed her to focus on what truly matters in her life and career. She’s been writing songs that capture both the pain of ending a marriage and the hope that comes with starting fresh.
The upcoming album represents more than just new material for Kay. It’s documentation of a transformative period that has shaped her artistic vision and personal outlook.
She’s particularly excited about how the new songs showcase her growth as a songwriter. The material feels more honest and vulnerable than her previous work, reflecting the emotional journey she’s been on.
Kay continues touring while putting finishing touches on the album. She says the live performances have helped her connect with fans who’ve experienced similar life changes.
The singer plans to announce more details about the album release in the coming months. For now, she’s focused on the creative process and continuing to heal through her music.
