Emily To Join CMT’s Artist Discovery Program Beginning September 5th
Nashville newcomer and country/pop artist Emily Hackett released her brand new throwback single “Nostalgia” earlier this month, and the track’s official video made it’s debut last week (8/29) on Country Fancast. The single, co-written by Steph Jones (Nashville Songs and Music of Big Deal) and Mike Reaves (Universal Music Publishing) is Emily’s first release since her 2015 release The Raw EP and her 2014 collaboration with Parachute’s Will Anderson, “Take My Hand (The Wedding Song)”, which currently has almost 2 million streams on Spotify.
“The song looks backward lyrically, but the arrangement is purely contemporary, creating an interesting musical juxtaposition.” – Taste of Country
“We’ve all been there at some point- staying up way too late, pushing the envelope, raising heck, and learning important life lessons along the way. Within the energetic music video, the talented Georgia native fully embodies the feeling of nostalgia and brings it to life.” – Country Fancast
“I loved the guitar loop we wrote it over,” Emily explains. “I couldn’t put a finger on it. It was just the way it sounded, I felt like I was in a scene from high school or something. It was nostalgic. But then I thought, what if we personified nostalgia? What if we gave that feeling a life? I said those first few words, ‘I’m the red balloon at the carnival,’ and next thing we knew it was 1AM and we had this song we were all obsessed with.”
