Lexa Gates is back with her latest single, “Past It,” marking the first release from her highly anticipated sophomore album, set for this fall. Produced by Emilie Haynie (Lana Del Rey, Kid Cudi), the track blends dreamy, lo-fi vibes with a groove-laced bounce, as Lexa raps about the pressures of chasing success and the disconnect that often follows. “The future seems so far ‘til you’re past it,” she reflects, capturing the paradox of achieving goals only to feel numb once they’ve been reached. It’s a hauntingly relatable message, one that shows Lexa’s evolution as both an artist and a storyteller.
This release follows her summer hit “Latency,” which garnered nearly 1 million streams globally and earned praise from major outlets like Billboard and Rolling Stone. The success of “Latency,” combined with her critically acclaimed debut album Elite Vessel, signals the start of a new chapter for Lexa. As she continues to carve out a distinct space in music, she proves that she’s more than just a rising star—she’s an artist unafraid to challenge expectations and push boundaries. Lexa Gates isn’t just making music—she’s creating a world that’s uniquely hers, one track at a time.
