NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Country-Latin duo Kat & Alex announced Side A of their self-titled EP, arriving Sept. 16. Pre-save/add/order HERE.
“We’re so excited to share this EP! These songs tell our stories, and it introduces us to the world not only as musicians but also as a couple,” Kat & Alex said. “Sonically, Side A is a melting pot, which is true to who we are. You’ll hear country, which is the root of it, as well as some rock, soul and pop. The common theme of the music though is love, which is purposeful because our relationship is full of love and it’s the core of everything we do.”
Kat & Alex co-wrote every track on the project aside from “Marry You,” which was written by labelmate Maren Morris and Busbee. “When we heard this song, we felt like it told our story, which was really cool because it was Maren’s song to Ryan. We reimagined it as a duet and added a bit of Latin drums to make it our own.”
Recently singled out as an Emerging Latin Artist to Discover by Billboard, the real-life married couple is blazing a trail in Nashville this year by releasing their music in both English and Spanish. On Friday they shared their latest track, “Mi Casa,” which is the Spanish version of recently released “We Bought A House.” Listen here . This is the third entirely Spanish song they’ve released this year following “Tomemos Un Trago,” the Spanish version of their track “Let’s Find A Bar,” and “Yo Quiero Amarte,” the Spanish version of their critically acclaimed song “I Want It All.”
“This EP means a lot to us. It’s really cool being able to not only put out new music as a collection, but to also give a glimpse into what our relationship is. The EP is really, really heavy set on like love songs and the emotion of love, which is what is the foundation of our relationship in real life. So it’s just a direct representation of who we are through music.”

The husband-and-wife pair shake up country with full-bodied soulful delivery, engaging live instrumentation, and bilingual lyrics, introducing themselves as Nashville’s most compelling outliers. Kat is a Miami native and first-generation American from a Cuban family. Alex, who is of Puerto Rican descent, grew up in Northwestern Georgia and moved to Miami by middle school. Their paths crossed after Kat witnessed Alex singing one day at their church, and the two quickly forged an eternal bond after meeting up to collaborate. They appeared on American Idol individually before returning home to focus on writing and recording original music as a duo, and then made their way to Nashville in 2020, igniting a life-altering couple of years. Kat & Alex released their debut single “How Many Times” and its accompanying Spanish version in the fall of 2020, which amassed nearly 20 million streams independently. The following year the couple tied the knot, made their Grand Ole Opry debut, and released several new tracks to critical acclaim including “Heartbreak Tour,” which The New York Times dubbed as “an earnest power country slow-burner.” Named a 2022 Artist to Watch by Sounds Like Nashville and Country Now as well as a CMT “Listen Up” artist, the duo continues to make waves with their scorching signature style while resolutely representing Hispanic culture in country music with a sound that’s rich and soulful with velvet harmonies, pop-like vocal riffs, and hooky lyrics. Their latest releases, “I Want It All” and its accompanying Spanish version “Yo Quiero Amarte,” and “Let’s Find A Bar” along with its Spanish version, “Tomemos Un Trago,” set the tone of what’s to come later this year for the country music trailblazers.
