“Christmas has always been my favorite time of year. The season reminds me of home and precious memories with friends and family. I knew I wanted to record ‘Joy to the World’ because it captures that festive spirit, but wanted to do something to amp it up and make it my own. Trent Willmon captured the feeling I was after perfectly with how he produced this track. I hope folks’ spirits are lifted as soon as they hear it!” said Emily Ann Roberts.
This holiday release promises to be an exhilarating celebration, showcasing Emily Ann’s signature sound that blends traditional country roots with a modern and exciting twist. Featuring lively instrumentation, spirited harmonies, and a sprinkle of holiday magic, “Joy To The World” will have you singing along and dancing around your Christmas tree while putting up the decorations with the family.
