Emily Nenni recently announced her new album Drive & Cry, and we’re now premiering its second single, “Changes.” Compared to the honky tonk rave-up lead single “Get To Know Ya,” “Changes” is a personal country ballad with a hint of melancholy, and here’s what Emily says about it:
This was the first song I wrote for the album, in January 2022. The recording is actually the demo we did that month, so we have special guests Sean Thompson on guitar and Hank Long on keys. This record is largely about reflections over the last couple of years, and how I’ll never be done learning and changing. I’ll also never be done making mistakes, but that’s how you grow. Change and endings are hard, but nothing is meant to last forever. Once I got comfortable with that, days got a little easier, and I was a little easier on myself.
Check out the song below.
Emily also has tour dates coming up, including SXSW this week. All dates are listed below. Drive & Cry arrives May 3 via New West Records. Pre-order it here.
