Stream "Can’t Hide Country Deluxe Edition" here: emilyannroberts.lnk.to/chc-deluxe

Emily Ann Roberts’s Deluxe Edition of her debut album, "Can’t Hide Country", is out now! This special release features three new tracks: “Working on Love,” “When I’m Gone” and “Back Home.” "Working on Love '' has been striking a chord with couples everywhere, amassing over 4.2 million views across TikTok and Instagram. “Back Home” perfectly rounds out this collection of songs as it showcases Roberts’s bluegrass roots with a stunning acapella intro that seamlessly transitions into a lively blend of guitar and fiddle. Roberts’s album embodies the essence of authenticity and celebrates what makes her unique. 

Since the debut’s release in September, the album has soared and now boasts over 26 million streams and has earned widespread critical acclaim. 2024 has already become a banner year for the singer. She recently joined CMT’s esteemed Next Women of Country 2024 class and just wrapped up a successful 17-date stint on Blake Shelton’s Back To The Honky Tonk Tour presented by Kubota. Night after night, city after city, Emily Ann delivered electrifying performances and grew her fan base immensely. You can still catch her out on the road this summer playing fairs and festivals. 

“This record is my introduction to country music and when you have the opportunity to have 3 more songs as a part of that, they better say something. I’m so excited to complete this project with, ‘Working On Love,’ ‘Back Home,’ and ‘When I’m Gone.’ These songs mean so much to me for different reasons, but most of all they’re all rooted in the things I’ve learned from over the past 8 years of pursuing this dream. I love songs that make me think and feel something that wasn’t there before. ‘Working On Love’ is fun and sweet but it’s real to the core. As a married woman of 3 years, I will be the first to say marriage is the blessing of a lifetime, but if it’s gonna last that long, you have to put the work in. ‘Back Home’ is the wake up call that the grass isn’t always greener past your county line. When we find ourselves always searching for more, it may be time to take a breath and count the blessings we have right in front of us. Best part of this song is when you realize what you had, it’s always waiting for you back home. 'When I’m Gone' probably means the most to me out of the bunch. We never know when our time on Earth will end, and I wanna make the most of the days I’ve been given. I wrote this song with Autumn McEntire after going to a family members funeral. I realized no one spoke about his job, his title, his achievements, or his money. They spoke of his love, his friendship, and his character. Achievements are great, but they don’t amount to a hill of beans when you’re dead and gone. Love lives on and wins every time.”

Reviews are in:

“It’s representative and autobiographical of a young woman in the Southern United States (Knoxville, specifically) telling stories of the hopes, joys, and tribulations of her life. But it’s undoubtedly country, heartfelt, and delightfully simple and true. In an ideal world, this would be what popular country sounds like.” 

- Saving Country Music

“This album was a blast from beginning to end for me, with plenty of smart lyrics and a mischievous flair running throughout this record that I’d say helps separate Roberts a bit more as a writer.” 

- The Musical Divide

"Can’t Hide Country offers an amalgam of retro-country, bluegrass and folk leanings and contemporary songwriting.” 

- Billboard

“Drawing inspiration from the leading ladies of ‘80s and ‘90s country, Can’t Hide Country feels like an homage to those who came before her, while not just depending on them to make an impact. Bringing in elements of the female country greats, there's just as much Emily Ann, too. “ 

- Holler Country

"This album rules. Emily’s voice just has PERSONALITY. She can belt or deliver a line with a giggle, or she’ll move note-to-note in half steps that are SO damn country over the most tasteful 90’s production and so much fiddle and steel (and horns! and harmonies!). We got songs about lovemaking and arson and faith on here — but there’s a clear through-line about wanting to be a good wife to a good man, and she’s got this wholesome confidence about that whole pursuit in a way that almost feels rebellious to me. And she’s funny, too!” 

- Grady Smith

THERE'S JUST SOMETHING IN THE WORDS: PART 3

Words matter. It doesn't matter where you hear, see or read them. They affect us in so many different ways. These days with the negative pull of the world around me, I choose to find those words that breathe life into me, not suck it out of me. I find myself pulling further away from mainstream music and finding more music that lifts me up and gives me pause to think.

Anyone that truly knows me, knows that music isn't just what I talk about, it's who I am. I love everything about it but the thing I love the most is the power of a song, it's ability to stop me in my tracks and hear the message and it's ability to change lives. These days, those kind of songs seem to be a bit harder to find but they're out there if you listen beyond what radio is selling. If you search, you'll find them. The words matter. To me, a song isn't just background noise, it's much more than that.

Here are a few of the songs that made me rethink things, find a new perspective and realize my own strengths, weaknesses and my purpose. These had a part in making me who I am in this moment and these newer ones are helping build me into the person I want to be moving forward. Thank you to the artists and writers for putting the words on paper that connect with hearts and will be here making a difference long after they have left the world.

"Remember How To Pray" - Randy Houser

Writers: Randy Houser / Kendell Marvel

"Forgive me, I know I'm not perfect but Heaven knows I know someone who was

And sometimes when everything is workin', I look up and thank Him just because

sometimes I forget and that's okay ... I still remember how to pray."

**************

"Good Ol' Dogs and God" - Pryor & Lee

Writers: Doug Johnson / Trent Fisher / Elvie Shane / Adam Wood

"Good ol' dogs and God won't ever let you down. They listen when you're talkin', just happy you're around. I don't know why they love us, but they do no matter what. Two things you can count on, good ol' dogs and God."

**************

"Sometimes It's the Radio" - Joseph Habedank

Writers: Joseph Habedank / Jimmy Yeary / Tony Wood

"Everybody has a bad day, when they're feeling like no one cares. 

Everybody needs reminding that Someone sees and Someone's there. 

Everybody gets a little down and they need to be picked back up

Sometimes by a preacher man, sometimes it's a real good friend.

But sometimes it's the radio, sometimes it's a song of hope.  It's the right tune at the right time with the right words and the right rhyme with a melody that takes you were you need to be.  Sometimes it's the word that you heard at the church that soothes your soul, but sometimes it's the radio."

**************

"Tomorrow Will Be Kinder" - Kaitlyn Butts

Writers: Laura Rogers / Lydia Rogers

"Tomorrow will be kinder. It's true, I've seen it before. A brighter day is coming my way.

Yes, tomorrow will be kinder."

"Just Ask" - Lance Carpenter

Writers: Lance Carpenter / Liz Hengber / Kelly Collins

"Cause every sinner has a future, every saint has a past.

So, before you go and label me a loser for pouring all my pain into a glass

Don't judge, just ask."

**************

"Keep On" - Emily Ann Roberts

Writers: Emily Ann Roberts / Chase McDaniel / Chris McKenna

"Tears are made to cry, rain was made to fall, mornings turn to night

This big ol' world can make you feel small. Backs aren't made to break, but after years of work they do. You're gonna wanna walk away, but you were made to make it through."

Keep on going, your wheels were made for rolling down the road, keep knowing there's better days ahead. Don't stop trying or quit the hill you're climbing, on the other side that view will steal your breath. 

If your heart's still beating, you ain't got a reason to give up yet."

**************

"Girls" - Rachel Platten

Writers: Rachel Platten / Sean Myer / Ferras Alqaisi / Meghan Kabir

"Girls, you were born to run, to reach the stars and chase the sun.

Girls, you are wild and free, the wind is at your back, the world is at your feet.

Sometimes life can feel unfair, broken hearts you can't repair.

Sometimes you might be scared that no one gets you.

It's not easy being brave when tears are falling down your face. 

but that's how you'll find your strength, so I'll let you."

**************

"Shine On" - Jeff Carson

Writers: Jim Daddario / Tony Marty

"Wherever you go, whatever you do, don't ever forget there's someone who believes in you

When you're lost and weary, follow your heart 'cause you have a gift, you're one of a kind

God put you on this Earth so you could shine. You don't have to be afraid of the dark

Shine on, light up the world with your love, with faith and desire, you can build a fire

Shine on and let your dreams keep burning strong. Oh, shine on."

**************

"Girl's Gotta Know" - Rachel Wammack

Writers: Rachel Wammack / Jim McCormick

"The girl's gotta know - Do you hug your mama? Do you like dogs? Do you love Jesus?

Are you good with a red-wine Friday night laughin' 'til you fall to pieces.

The girl's gotta know - Who you say she is when you talk to your friends

If you feel it when she walks in. You don't have to say it, but it better show

'Causе the girl's gotta know."

**************

"While You Still Can" - Brothers Osborne

Writers: John Osborne / Travis Meadows

" Make amends with that old friend you swore you'd never talk to again, 'cause you miss him. Call up your mom on the telephone talk a whole lot of nothing til the cows come home and listen.  Cross every T, dot most the I's 'cause years grow wings and fly on by and time slips through your fingers just like sand.

'Cause everything you thought would last forever never lasts forever, like you plan. Don't let your now become a never so take life by the hands while you still can.

Get your dad to tell that same old joke and laugh between the jack and Coke and hope one day you'll be half as funny. Count your blessings, thank the stars, 'cause in the end who you are is about the love you give, it sure as hell ain't about the money.

'Cause everything you thought would last forever never lasts forever, like you plan. Don't let your now become a never so take life by the hands while you still can."

Give him the boot sister

He ain’t nothing but a mean ole mister

Let him eat the dust and go find someone new

Get your goodbye on and don’t you turn around

Gas it up and put your foot down

How long you gonna let him walk all over you

Before you put on your walkin’ shoes

Recorded at Starstruck Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, and produced by GRAMMY-winning producer, Trent Willmon, Emily Ann's mesmerizing lyrics and her exceptional vocal talents showcased in her previously launched album tracks, have amassed millions of streams and earned extensive praise from both the media and her dedicated fanbase.

“She has a helluva voice and isn’t shy about pushing it into the stratosphere on this shimmering ballad. It’s [‘Infinity’] a melodic vow of devotion that has definite wedding-song potential. Highly recommended.” 

- Robert Oermann, MusicRow

"It is incredibly refreshing to witness new music from a young talented artist who is paying homage to the traditions of a genre’s past while also incorporating her own flare and signature sound to make her music truly one of a kind.” 

- Today’s Country Magazine

“The track [‘He Set Her Off’] lives in the spirit of Miranda Lambert’s ‘Gunpowder & Lead’ or The Chicks’ ‘Goodbye Earl’ given its thematic content. But Roberts brings a honky tonk energy to the song that gives it a fresh perspective.” 

- American Songwriter

“A delightful, throwback sound packed with warp-speed fiddle, steel and banjo. Roberts’ rapid-fire vocals ring with personality and conviction as she revels in a life that’s short on money but rich in love. Produced by Trent Willmon (known for his work with Cody Johnson), this winning track brings out the best in her traditionalist sensibilities 

and her bluegrass roots.”

EMILY ANN ROBERTS RELEASES "THE BUILDING" AFTER MOVING GRAND OLE OPRY DEBUT

Following the release of her viral TikTok hit, “Whole Lotta Little,” which has over 2M streams and has reached 12M cumulative views on TikTok, Emily Ann Roberts released ”The Building” - in November 2022 after demand from fans on social media.

Written by Roberts and Michael Farren, and produced by Trent Willmon, “The Building” is a song that paints the picture of Emily Ann’s hometown church that she grew up in. Celebrating its 100 year anniversary this past October, and also where her great grandfather pastored, Emily describes the building as a place that laid the foundation of her life and raised her up - the place that always brings her home.

“I grew up in East TN and every Sunday and Wednesday night of my life I was at church. My great grandfather was the pastor of the church and every Sunday felt like a family reunion. My grandmother was the church secretary and my mom and dad met there at vacation Bible school when they were kids. It was the first place I ever sang publicly. Even more than the home I grew up in, that little church raised me up. It taught me right from wrong and laid a foundation for my life. It’s the place where I met Jesus and everything changed. No matter where this life takes me, that place will always bring me home.

I wrote this song with Michael Farren and he read this post I had made about my church before we wrote together:

‘My home church. The place my great grandfather pastored. The place my nana sang in the choir. The place my dad was raised. The place me and my sister were raised. The first place I sang on a stage. The place where I learned who Jesus was and what he did for me. This place means the world to me, but at the end of the day, it’s not the place that changed my life. It was the God of love that was shared with me there that made all the difference.’” - Emily Ann Roberts

She first debuted “The Building” at the Grand Ole Opry and received a standing ovation without a dry eye in the house. Emily may be singing about a specific part in her story, but when she sings it, it’s clear how it’s touched others as if it’s their story. It’s proven the magic of music.

Emily Ann and Starstruck Records have and are continuing to support “The Building” with a Dolby Atmos version mixed by Derek Bason (Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan), video content (including an Official Music Video - directed by Jeff Johnson in part at The Ryman Auditorium, Lyric Video, BTS, Behind The Song series, and a to be released live performance from The Opry), digital and physical ads, as well as a detailed social media plan which included a pre-save campaign, and PR (Zach Farnum - 117 Entertainment Group.) Currently, “The Building” official music video is in rotation on CMT Music and The Country Network.

• Over 1.2M cumulative followers across all social platforms
• Over 20M cumulative streams
• Named one of Rolling Stone Magazine’s “Best Acts of CMA Fest”
• Placed as the runner-up on NBC’s The Voice on Season 9 (Team Blake)
• Has opened for artists such as Reba McEntire, Blake Shelton, Sara Evans, Josh Turner, Scotty McCreery and Ricky Skaggs
• Debut EP, "Someday Dream," landed at number two on Billboard album charts
• Partnered with Southern Made Tees to create own t-shirt and clothing collection
• Has been invited to play the Grand Ole Opry numerous times

AFTER MONTHS OF CAPTIVATING LIVE PERFORMANCES AND SOCIAL MEDIA EXCITEMENT, EMILY ANN ROBERTS RELEASED "THE BUILDING," AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE NOW

Emily Ann Roberts released her latest single, "The Building" everywhere today. This song was written about Emily Ann's home church in East Tennessee where her great-grandfather pastored in 1942. The church celebrated a historic 100-year anniversary this past October, and has had a long line of Roberts’ family history throughout those years. It’s even the place her parents met – at Vacation Bible School. While this song is about Emily Ann's story, listeners of all walks of life can connect to it and be reminded of the special places where they spent time with their loved ones. She first debuted the song on the Grand Ole Opry stage where she received a standing ovation without a dry eye in the house. This song has been highly anticipated by her fans since she started playing it live and teasing it on social media, racking up nearly 1,000 pre-saves. Listen to "The Building" here: https://emilyannroberts.lnk.to/thebuilding

I know the stained glass never saved a soul

and these pews aint on the roll that’s called up yonder

I know the pulpits just a wooden stand

but it’s felt the power of God's hand

As his glory filled the place with awe and wonder

I know it's just a building, plain and simple white

but it’s the building where Jesus changed my life

“I grew up in East Tennessee and every Sunday and Wednesday night of my life I was at church. My great-grandfather was the pastor of the church and every Sunday felt like a family reunion. My grandmother was the church secretary and my mom and dad met there at vacation bible school when they were kids. It was the first place I ever sang publicly. Even more than the home I grew up in, that little church raised me up. It taught me right from wrong and laid a foundation for my life. It’s the place where I met Jesus and everything changed. No matter where this life takes me, that place will always bring me home," said Emily Ann.

Emily Ann has credited artists like Hank Williams and Johnny Cash who brought gospel music to a mainstream country audience and while this song has gospel roots, Emily Ann is making traditional county music that sounds like what she grew up on. Her previous single "Whole Lotta Little" was sonically inspired by the bluegrass and mountain music sounds that originally made her fall in love with country music.

“Whole Lotta Little” re-energized fans and excited them for what's to come. Since its mid-October release, "Whole Lotta Little" has garnered over one million cumulative streams.

“(Whole Lotta Little is) a delightful, throwback sound packed with warp-speed fiddle, steel and banjo. Roberts’ rapid-fire vocals ring with personality and conviction as she revels in a life that’s short on money but rich in love. Produced by Trent Willmon (known for his work with Cody Johnson), this winning track brings out the best in her traditionalist sensibilities and her bluegrass roots.” - Billboard

"'Whole Lotta Little' is a spirited, uplifting ode to the simple things in life. Penned by Roberts, Trent Willmon and Jeremy Spillman, the boot-scootin' track reminds us to celebrate the small successes and little moments that bring joy to everyday life. Sonically, the blissful tune gives a nod to the native bluegrass and traditional country music that has heavily influenced the East Tennessee native since her youth." - The Boot

Emily Ann is becoming a consistent face at the Grand Ole Opry and will be appearing again on November 18. For more info and additional show dates, please visit emilyannroberts.com.

EMILY ANN ROBERTS RELEASES NEW SINGLE "WHOLE LOTTA LITTLE" AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE

 

Emily Ann Roberts is kicking off a new era of music with her first single in two years, "Whole Lotta Little." Emily Ann is an East Tennessee native who was raised on bluegrass and mountain music and her early influences are palpable in this latest release. Written by Emily Ann, Trent Willmon, Jeremy Spillman and produced by Willmon (Cody Johnson, Granger Smith), this song is a classic boot stomper with a modern country flair. With over 5,000 pre-saves and pre-adds between Apple and Spotify and over 2.7 million views on a TikTok video of her playing the song acoustically, it's safe to say fans are thrilled for new Emily Ann Roberts music. "Whole Lotta Little" is available everywhere now! 

Gotta little house

On the edge of town

Gotta a funny-looking dog running around

Gotta little porch big enough

To hold a swing for both of us

Stealing kisses while sun goes down

“I wrote ‘Whole Lotta Little’ after getting married and moving into my first home with my husband. It was a 900 square feet apartment but it felt like a castle to me because it was ours. A lot of times in life we think the big flashy things will make us happy but the biggest blessings in my life are the little ones. I’m big on the little things and living a simple life and I hope this song makes other people appreciate the little things in their life too. From the fiddle to the lyrics, this song is country through and through. It sounds like the mountain music I was raised on and takes me back there every time I sing it,” says Emily Ann Roberts.

Some will remember Emily Ann from her time spent on Blake Shelton's team on NBC's The Voice where she was the runner-up on Season Nine. Since then, she has spent the last few years on the road opening for superstars like Reba McEntire, Blake Shelton and more. She is becoming a consistent face at the Grand Ole Opry and will be appearing again on Wednesday, October 12. She is on the road this fall for a number of dates, for tickets or more info, please visit emilyannroberts.com.

EMILY ANN ROBERTS’ "SOMEDAY DREAM" DEBUTS ON TWO BILLBOARD ALBUM CHARTS

Country traditionalist Emily Ann Roberts released Someday Dream on July 12 and the debut project from The Voice alum landed on two Billboard album charts.  Entering the Country Album chart at #25 and the all-genre Independent Albums chart in the Top 50, Roberts’ first official body of work is proudly making its mark.

“I am so excited about this news,” exclaims Emily Ann Roberts.  “I never dreamed my debut project would land on a Billboard chart much less two.  I couldn’t be more thankful for everyone that has been a part of it and a special shout out to all my fans for the continued support.”

Roberts spent the last three years writing and thoughtfully cultivating the music for this project.  The EP, produced by award-winning Jason Saenz, mixed by Chuck Ainlay and mastered by Adam Ayan at Gateway Mastering, features a collection of six songs, five of which Roberts has writing credit.

Earlier this summer, Roberts performed the title track “Someday Dream” on The Voice.  She also shared songs from the EP at CMA Fest last month where her performance caught the ears of Rolling Stone who placed her on their list of 20 Best Acts of the festival alongside artists like Lil Nas X and Kassi Ashton.

THE VOICE SEASON 9 RUNNER-UP EMILY ANN ROBERTS RELEASES “SOMEDAY DREAM,” TO INDUSTRY ACCLAIM INCLUDING BLAKE SHELTON AND KELLY CLARKSON

The Voice alum and southern traditionalist Emily Ann Roberts, who garnered the support of throngs of fans worldwide when she finished as runner-up on the ninth season of the reality singing show, officially released her single “Someday Dream” on Friday to much acclaim.  The heart-felt anthem, penned by Roberts, Jason Saenz and Seth Mosley, landed on Apple’s “Best Of the Week” and “Breaking Country” and Spotify’s “New Music Nashville” playlists.  Superstars Kelly Clarkson and Blake Shelton tweeted their support.

Shelton tweeted “Y’all need to give this song a listen. ‘Someday Dream’ by the amazing @emilyann_music.”

Clarkson retweeted Shelton’s post and add, “This is great. Congrats on a killer song.”

"Someday Dream" is available here.

Roberts, managed by industry heavyweights Starstruck Management, aims to continue encouraging her supporters as well as new fans to chase their dreams with “Someday Dream,” the first release from her forthcoming EP.

“Someday Dream" has been my anthem since I wrote it with Jason and Seth and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with everyone," exclaims Emily Ann Roberts.  "My fans have always supported my dream and I want them to know there is no dream too big.  If I can do it, they can too.”

Roberts enlisted an all star production team on “Someday Dream” including Jason Saenz (Little Big Town, Drake White, Scotty McCreery) with mixing duties performed by Chuck Ainlay (Taylor Swift, Miranda Lambert and George Strait.)

NBC'S "THE VOICE" FINALE GOES COUNTRY WITH GUESTS RICKY SKAGGS, WYNONNA AND SAM HUNT

NBC's hit vocal competition, "The Voice", wrapped up an amazing ninth season last night with one of the closest races ever for the title. The four final positions, whittled down from thousands of entries, went to #TeamBlake's Barrett Baber and Emily Ann Roberts, #TeamGwen's Jefferey Austin, and #TeamAdam's Jordan Smith.

With America's final votes cast the night before, the finalists returned to the stage with former contestants and to sing duets with their "dream duet partners" as well as duets with their team coaches. What a night for some amazing music!

The night kicked off with an all inclusive contestant rendition of "Lean on Me". Following the performance, each finalist brought back a previous contestant of their choice for a duet. Barrrett Baber chose country favorite Zach Seabaugh for a rousing rendition of the Randy Travis classic, "Forever and Ever, Amen", bringing the crowd to their feet and having millions at home singing along.

Up next was Jeffery Austin with former team member Madi Davis for their collaboration of a song by the late Amy Winehouse, "Tears Dry on Their Own". In true Jordan form, Smith went big and kicked it into full gear by bringing back several contestants to raise the roof with the Journey classic, "Any Way You Want It". Emily Ann Roberts followed Jordan's lead by bringing back a brigade of her own to rock the stage with Rascal Flatts' anthem, "Summer Nights". Following the contestant performances, Coldplay took the stage and performed their song, "Adventure of a Lifetime", followed by another group of former contests who boarded the "Love Train".

Country Dream Duet #1 - Emily Ann Roberts and country bluegrass legend, Ricky Skaggs, did some big time pickin' and it was us that was doing the grinnin' as they brought the crowd to their feet with a rousing, energetic performance of  Skaggs' "Country Boy". What a showing! Bluegrass had a rebirth last night and I'm sure a birth of many new fans.


Following the country collaboration of Roberts and Skaggs, Jeffery Austin connected with his dream partner, Tori Kelly, on her single,“Hollow” and the crowd loved it.


Country Dream Duet #2: Barrett Baber and one of country's biggest voices and most powerful presences, Wynonna, performed her smash hit, "No One Else on Earth" and it was a power vocal on both parts without a doubt.

The evening wrapped up with a duet between Pharrell and hip hop queen Missy Elliott, a performance of "Break Up in a Small Town" by Sam Hunt, a song by The Weeknd, and a finale performance by Justin Beiber. 

And the winner was ... and well deserved ... JORDAN SMITH! Congratulations to all finalists, you were the cream of the crop and we all know that cream always rises to the top!
