EMILY ANN ROBERTS - Easy Does It - Starstruck Records
After a breakout year that saw country starlet Emily Ann Roberts earning monumental success with her debut album Can’t Hide Country while steadily growing her fanbase as the opening act for mega-superstar Blake Shelton, she now kicks off the new year with our first look at her next chapter.
“Easy Does It” is available on all digital and streaming platforms.
Teased on her social media to a buzzworthy response ahead of its official release, the song quickly became an anthem for lovebirds and a must-have favorite for this season’s wedding playlists.
Floating a complacent giddiness atop a breezy melody that guides the angelic ebbs and flows of her voice, the lyrics push awestricken reflection into a praise-lifted admiration that craftily outlines the snapshot of the good love she’s found with her husband.
Admitting that she never knew love could blend so flawlessly until he came into her life, she provides checkmarks of the scarred definitions that previous relationships had left on her throughout the opening verse - thinking all doors were made for slamming, hate and love went hand in hand, it ain’t real if it doesn’t hurt, etc.
However, shifting to the blissfulness of her here and now, shining the spotlight on the healthy behaviors and mannerisms she’s found in her better half today, she swerves away from the ideas grafted on her from the past to instead define the simplicity of what real love is supposed to look like:
“Easy does the dishes
Easy holds my hand
Easy don't make me question
Where on earth he stands
I've tried love the hard way
But it added up to nothing
Kiss by kiss, you flipped the script
Yeah, you showed me that easy does it”
Continuing to lay checkmarks in the second verse, though this time through a heartfelt listing of his amazing qualities, patience, and understanding, Roberts audibly continues to fall more in love with him and the easy type of love he provides while smiling through the poignant line of how he’s changed her entire mindset, “Kiss by kiss, you flipped the script.”
Love is a universal feeling that’s a focus point for a good majority of songs, but finding a way to craft your own personal emotions into a topic that’s been told repeatedly will offer a unique personal connection that resonates with the heartstrings of the listener. Emily Ann Roberts invites us into her diary with “Easy Does It” while effectively amping the hype for things still to come in 2025 from one of country music’s most dynamic rising stars.
