Touching down in Australia on the back of sold-out UK and European dates, Leah Kate is undeniably a star on the rise. With close to 4.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone and support slots with Aussie natives Chase Atlantic and Madison Beer, Kate’s ascent has been likened to Olivia Rodrigo and Dua Lipa. She scored her first Billboard Chart entry earlier this year, claiming No.24 on the Emerging Artists Chart with her breakup song 10 Things I Hate About You, and has been covered by Rolling Stone, Stereogum and more.

Leah Kate writes pop/rock anthems that cut to the bone. Pairing booming, radio-ready choruses with poignant, hyper-specific details, her songs are intimate and razor-sharp—the sort of tracks that resonate with listeners around the world.
Confessional and confident, this new EP finds Leah Kate digging deep yet again, embodying both the brash swagger and the raw vulnerability of the rock greats who preceded her. Moments like the title track Alive and Unwell show off just how real she’s willing to get. “I’m alive and unwell, some days I fucking hate myself,” she sings on the latter track over careening guitars. “No magic pill is gonna help.” It’s heavy, but that’s the point. Her breakout 10 Things I Hate About You also makes an appearance, and that track too was the result of her cracking open tough situations in her life.
