Sony Music Nashville artist Kat Luna, one of Rolling Stone’s “25 Spanish-Language Artists We’re Rooting For in 2025,” today releases a new EP, That Girl. The EP is now available, with Billboard Country Update building excitement ahead of the project’s release stating, “the Miami native owns powerful pipes, and she’s got a spring EP on the way to showcase them.” Stream That Girl HERE.
Produced by Nathan Chapman, the project ushers in an exciting new chapter for Luna as a solo artist. As Luna co-wrote all eight tracks on the project, That Girl embodies her personal growth and journey to finding her most authentic self over the past year. That Girl also features both English and Spanish lyrics, an important aspect of Luna’s artistry and musical upbringing.
“This EP is the most honest and personal music I have ever written and I am so excited to share it,” Luna said. “This project is a time capsule of a particular part of my life and it really embodies my story of finding myself and my true happiness. As a first generation Cuban American, it was also important for me to bring Spanish into my music to express my most authentic self. I can’t wait for everyone to hear it and I hope it helps others in their journey too.”
Previously, Luna gave fans some insight into what they can expect with this project, releasing both the English as well as English and Spanish version of “Happiest I’ve Ever Been,” which led to feedback that Luna’s voice is “quite compelling” (MusicRow Magazine) and that “she’s definitely one to watch in 2025” (HOLA! Magazine).
Additionally, in October 2024, Luna released the EP’s title track “That Girl,” penning the track with Rhett Akins and KK Johnson while at a writing session at the Grand Ole Opry, not yet realizing she had written the song that would play such a critical role in kicking off her career as a solo artist. Luna also released a version with Spanish and English lyrics, with Erika Ender also serving as a co-writer. The track earned praise as a “super song of survival and empowerment” with Luna receiving recognition for how “she sings the fire out of it,” (MusicRow Magazine).

It was also announced today that Luna will be part of CMT’s Next Women of Country Class of 2025, with Billboard sharing more about the news this morning.
Latina country artist Kat Luna, formerly of duo Kat & Alex, is blazing her own path. Over the past year, Luna set out to find herself again, both personally and professionally. This period of growth led the Cuban American country songstress to pen some of her most compelling and honest music yet, kicking off a new chapter as a solo artist. As a child, Luna grew up the daughter of first-generation Cuban immigrants, with her “Cuban Cowboy” grandfather introducing her to artists ranging from Toby Keith to Celia Cruz. She began singing in school, eventually appearing on Univision’s La Banda and La Voz, a Telemundo program similar to The Voice. Luna later emerged in the national spotlight when she competed on American Idol, later signing a record deal as part of duo Kat & Alex. While embarking on her journey as a solo artist this past year, Luna released a handful of songs from her new EP, That Girl, earning praise that “track after track, Luna keeps steadily building her resume as a compelling country vocalist and emotionally transparent writer,” (Billboard).
