Song is latest from full-length project
Emily Ann Roberts’ new song “Chickens” has hatched from her upcoming full-length album, Can’t Hide Country. After an exciting fan build-up on digital platforms, the song represents a motling from the pop-country feathers of her past music to a new, traditional country sound, integrating styles the artist grew up on in East Tennessee including bluegrass, gospel and folk.
This alluring single is an untraditional and refreshing departure from conventional love songs, embracing Emily Ann’s southern charm and clever innuendos that resonate particularly well with newlyweds, igniting a playful spark that they just can’t resist. After being cooped up for so long during the last few years, who wouldn’t want to get out and dance to this high-paced ditty?
“This track is funny, energetic and playful and always a hit when we play it live,” Roberts shares.
“Chickens” was written by Roberts alongside Grammy-winning producer Trent Willmon and hit songwriter Paul Overstreet. The duo is just a sneak peek of the noteworthy collaborations on the album Roberts has incubated which also includes Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs, Jeremy Spillman, Parker Welling and more.
Roberts’ upcoming album is slated for release on September 22nd and marks her first full-length release. The project is a testament to The Voice season nine contestant’s unwavering dedication to crafting authentic country music that’s reminiscent of her upbringing. Having co-written 12 out of the 13 songs, Roberts has woven together a collection of songs that beautifully reflect her journey as both an artist and a young woman navigating life’s triumphs and tribulations. With Can’t Hide Country, she delivers a refreshing blend of traditional country elements and modern sensibilities, capturing the essence of the genre while adding her own unique touch.
