Kyle Alessandro, Rosary | Beaming with Pride

In the 24^th edition of Beaming with Pride (2026), we highlight “Rosary” performed by Norwegian pop singer-songwriter Kyle Alessandro. 

Prepare to beam with P-R-I-D-E! Beaming with Pride celebrates, embraces, and spotlights songs by LGBTQ musicians or allies.  Here, we provide background and insight into musicians, analyze, plus go gaga over the decadent bops served up.  When songs dictate deeper and more transcendent discussion, we ensure the point is fully articulated.  All styles of music are welcome, whether the songs are classics or brand-new. So, without further ado, in the 24^th edition of Beaming with Pride (2026), we highlight “Rosary” performed by Kyle Alessandro.

Norwegian pop singer-songwriter Kyle Alessandro (Kyle Alessandro Helgesen Villalobos) asserts in the pre-chorus of “Rosary”. Kyle gets all spiritual on us on “Rosary,” with bang-up results! As they say, prayer is the key of heaven.  “Rosary” is a brief but superbly written, performed, and produced song from the talented 20-year-old.  He wrote “Rosary” with Stian Gunby, Trygve Løkka Wølner, and Emilia Ora.

“Rosary” begins with a striking instrumental introduction.  The record thrives on its vibrant production, including gorgeous, lush strings, keys, synths, and programming.  Kyle Alessandro is the star of the show.  His vocals are incredibly sweet from the opening to the closing note.  Alessandro sings with ease during the verse.  Notably, spiritual references run rampant.  “Looking for salvation in the same place,” he sings in the first verse, and continues, “Counting beads by the day.” In the second verse, he asks, “Am I worthy enough? / Not sure if I deserve it / Maybe it’s all too much / Just tell me how to earn it.” He ups the ante during the chorus, the section to beat.  In the big, unforgettable chorus, Kyle shows off the robustness and power of his instrument. He matches the dynamic nature of the accompaniment.

“For what I’ve done

It’s making me bleed, yet I just keep on going ‘round

Whatever you need, whenever I please, Lord, help me out

I’m counting the beads on this rosary, forever, forever

I’m counting the beads on this rosary.”

Beyond the chorus, the post-chorus is delightful, too, showcasing how bright Alessandro’s star is (“Perdóname, perdóname [Forgive me, forgive me]”).  Adding to the magnificence of “Rosary” are the harmonic progression (the musical underpinnings), which gives off a dash of gospel.  No, this isn’t a song intended for church, but there is a hint of gospel-pop flavor.  All told, Kyle Alessandro ate and left no crumbs on this brief but high-flying, potent pop single. Slay, King!
