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.” – Billboard

About Emily Ann Roberts
They say the way to the biggest stage is practice, practice, practice. And that’s exactly what Emily Ann Roberts has done, paying her dues from tiny stages in Knoxville to the biggest stage of all, the Grand Ole Opry. Since launching her career, Roberts has now played the coveted Opry stage 17 times. Before that, she made a name for herself on Blake Shelton’s team on The Voice before she’d even graduated from high school. In a way, being named as a runner-up was the biggest win of all. Because now, with all of that performing, songwriting and recording experience, Roberts has already racked up more than 25 million streams and was named one of Rolling Stone magazine’s Best Acts of CMA Fest. Growing up in East Tennessee, Roberts was raised on Smoky Mountain music, bluegrass players, and country artists from every era: from Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton to Miranda Lambert and Cody Johnson. And all of that has prepared her to bring the country back to country music. Working with producer Trent Willmon means she’s collaborating with some of Nashville’s most prolific songwriters. So now, Roberts finds herself surrounded by people who are like-minded about making country music that will make its mark in the studio and on the stage. “I am passionate about entertaining. I do love singing, and songwriting has become a means to an end for me. I write so that I can take those songs and perform them, not the other way around.” With that, it’s safe to say that country music is in good hands with Roberts.
