Emily Ann Roberts is a country artist with a clear, strong voice, singing stories of Southern life with the vigor and drive of a pop star. Roberts initially made a splash in 2015 as a contestant on NBC's televised talent competition The Voice; she represented the country contingent, and her high, keening twang evoked classic country while also seeming contemporary. Roberts wound up placing second during her season, during which time she racked up several hits on the country charts; the biggest was a cover of Cam's "Burning House," which went to number four. After her run on The Voice wrapped up, she finished high school, then returned to her music career in 2019 with the release of the EP Someday Dream. She broke big with her 2023 album Can't Hide Country, and blended passion and polish on 2025's Memory Lane.
