One of the hardest-working musical artists around, British songstress Alex Kate is certainly a familiar face on Mesmerized. The keen reader might recall one of her latest singles, ‘Lost Soldier’, originally released in the summer of 2024. A meaningful, evocative gem, we proudly described it as “reflecting on the frequent mental health struggles within men, often still seen as a taboo theme among many communities.” Since then, the song’s theme has become increasingly prominent, pushing Kate to double down on its release.
Teaming up with London-based rapper MOBI1, Alex wraps ‘Lost Soldier’ into a new, vibrant livery, packing it with even more vivid imagery and disarming authenticity. The contrast between Kate’s tender, anthemic vocals and MOBI1’s sharp, intense phrasing works very well, creating an artistic tension that keeps the listeners on their toes – and focused on the lyrical subject matter.
Aiming to not only promote the song but also to share the empowering message behind it, Alex Kate and MOBI1 have big plans, as we are told: “They are spearheading a social media campaign to raise awareness about mental health struggles, particularly those affecting men. Through interviews with the public, they aim to break the stigma around mental health, encouraging kindness toward oneself and others. The message is clear: there are countless people silently fighting their own battles, and it’s up to us to support one another, ensuring no one suffers in isolation.”
