aleksiah has spent the last few years building momentum through sharp songwriting, restless honesty and a growing catalogue of pop songs that feel equally suited to headphones and packed rooms. Now, the Adelaide artist has released her new EP Good On Paper, arriving alongside a national headline tour that is already seeing added dates after early sell outs in Sydney and Melbourne.

The release marks aleksiah’s biggest project to date and arrives at a point where her rise no longer feels confined to Australia’s emerging artist circuit. Following appearances supporting Maisie Peters on her Australian tour and performances at Lime Green Festival and Primavera Pro in Barcelona, aleksiah’s profile has steadily expanded beyond local buzz into something more sustained and international in scope.
Good On Paper continues the diaristic thread that has defined much of her songwriting so far, unpacking insecurity, relationships, mental health and self-perception through bright, direct pop structures. But rather than framing those themes with grand emotional gestures, the EP leans into self-awareness and conversational detail. There’s a deliberate tension between polished pop presentation and the messier realities sitting underneath it, something aleksiah herself describes as exploring “the ugly foundations hiding underneath the brand new carpet.”
That contrast has become central to her appeal. Songs like Bullsh*t, Baby! and Punch Drunk Love helped establish her knack for pairing emotionally blunt writing with hooks that land quickly without feeling disposable. The new material continues in that direction while broadening the emotional range around it.
The accompanying tour will take aleksiah through Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne this May, with second shows already added in Sydney and Melbourne after strong demand. Live performance has played a major role in her growth over the past two years, whether opening for international acts like Kelsea Ballerini and Beth McCarthy or steadily building her own headline audiences across Australia.
Recognition from Australian radio and music media has followed closely behind. Since releasing her debut single Fern in 2022, aleksiah has secured multiple additions to triple j rotation, landed in the NME 100 for 2026 and collected four South Australian Music Awards in 2025, including Best Solo Artist and Best Release for her previous EP cry about it.
