Alexa Kate What People Do Review | Neon Music

Are you behind, or simply happy alone?

“What People Do” by @alexakatemusic sets that fear against quick piano. Hear the song rush as she chooses her own pace.

Review: neonmusic.co.uk/alexa-kate-w...

#IndiePop #NewMusic #IndieVibes #SongReview

SOLO or COUPLED?

Alexa Kate’s What People Do turns being alone into an uplifting main-character moment, driven by fast piano and a dreamy indie-pop glow.
