Rising singer-songwriter Riley Roth is releasing her debut EP Hey Nice To Meet You, including the focus track “Hometown Home,” on Sept. 30.

The project, which was produced by songwriter Kyle Schlienger, along with Track 45’s KK Johnson producing fan favorite “Stranger,”  has already racked up nearly 5 million total streams. Hitmaker Sara Davis, a co-writer on Gayle’s global smash “abcdefu,” contributed to three of the songs as well.

“The title of my EP is inspired by my song ‘Stranger’, which really launched this era of music for me,” says Roth. “ Releasing my debut EP feels like my first real reintroduction to listeners, both as an artist and as a person. This collection of songs demonstrates every aspect of who I am and who I strive to be. It’s a glimpse into my relationships–past and present–and an honest look at my journey toward confidence and being unapologetic about who I am.”

She continues, “I love conversational lyrics, and I hope listeners hear the voice of a friend when they listen to the words of my songs–that they feel a little less alone in whatever they’re going through and a little better about themselves than they did before they found my EP.”

After high school in Nashville, Roth signed her first deal with hitmaker busbee. Shortly after releasing her first song, busbee tragically passed away from brain cancer, with the pandemic and additional personal and professional upheaval following closely after. Roth continued to use the tools around her to amass over 12 million career streams, while building an audience of more than 300,000 monthly listeners and a social media following that also tops 300K.
