Named One of Rolling Stone’s ’10 New Country Artists You Need To Know’
New EP By The Sun Out September 21st
Nashville country/pop songstress Emily Hackett released her new, uplifting single “Josie,” out everywhere today. “Josie” is one of 5 tracks from her forthcoming EP, BY THE SUN, out September 21st.
“Often times in high school and middle school we think we have to do, look, act a certain way for guys to pay attention to us and to be popular, and it’s such a dangerous thing if you are not aware of who you are and if you’re too focused on being cool,” Emily explains on the meaning of the track. “This is just a song to all of the young girls who are trying to grow up too fast.”

Since Emily’s latest single “Good Intentions” debuted at CMA Fest, publications like Billboard and Refinery29 have praised the track, and the official video is currently in rotation on CMT and CMT Music. Emily was also recently named one of Rolling Stone Country‘s ’10 New Country Artists You Need To Know.’
“Her forthcoming EP, By The Sun, is a smart meeting-point between early-Aughts pop, country’s current genre playfulness and the one-name women of the Nineties (Faith, Trisha, Shania), with plenty of room for both tender and tongue-in-cheek confessionals.” – Marissa R. Moss, Rolling Stone
