About Emily Hackett:
Emily
Hackett is the rare songwriter who doesn’t just pour her heart into her
lyrics—she inspires every listener to reach a deeper honesty in their
own lives. With her stunningly detailed storytelling, the
Nashville-based artist sheds light on the countless liabilities of being
human, ultimately transforming even the most painful feelings into
something glorious.
It’s
exactly that alchemy that recently found Hackett named one of CMT’s
Next Women of Country Class of 2019—a distinction that’s helped launch
the careers of luminaries like Kelsea Ballerini and Maren Morris. That
announcement followed the release ofBy the Sun:
a five-track EP that marks the first half of Hackett’s debut album,
hailed by Rolling Stone as a “smart meeting-point between early-Aughts
pop, country’s current genre playfulness and the one-name women of the
Nineties (Faith, Trisha, Shania).”
From song to song,By the Sunspotlights
the radiant vocal presence and vibrant musicality that Hackett’s honed
her entire life. Growing up outside Atlanta, she realized her passion
for music as a little girl—thanks largely to her father, a former rock
critic—and in sixth grade began writing songs of her own. Soon after
graduating from Belmont University, Hackett found breakout success with
“Take My Hand (The Wedding Song)”: a 2014 ballad she wrote especially
for a friend’s wedding and recorded with Parachute’s Will Anderson, then
saw shoot to #4 on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter chart almost
immediately after its release.
WithBy the Sunfeaturing
acclaimed singles like “Nostalgia” (a track that earned her a spot on
CMT’s Artist Discovery Program), Hackett is now gearing up for the
release of the second half of her debut album. Due out in 2019, theBy The MoonEP centers on more emotionally thorny material, gracefully revealing the full scope of Hackett’s artistry.
