Rissi Palmer Returns To Her Roots On New EP ‘Perspectives’

/by

Rissi Palmer is set to release her new EP, Perspectives, on Feb. 6.

The project highlights Palmer’s gift for storytelling, blending her personal experiences with her broad musical influences. From the deeply reflective “Old Black Southern Woman” and the joyful warmth of “Good to Me” (both written by Palmer), to the soulful and timely “Can You Run?” (penned by Chris Stapleton), and the poignant “Somebody Somewhere” (an homage to country legend Loretta Lynn), Perspectives is a celebration of both tradition and progress. The deeply personal collection reflects Palmer’s roots while looking forward to the future.

The debut track from the EP, “Old Black Southern Woman” was released earlier this month and is available now on all digital platforms. The accompanying video features appearances by Palmer’s two daughters.

“I’m incredibly proud of these songs,” says Palmer. “Each one felt so distinct, and they deserved their own spotlight outside of our upcoming full-length album. Perspectives is a return to my roots, and when I shared the idea with my longtime friend and collaborator, Shannon Sanders, he immediately understood the vision. Together, we created something special, honoring my influences while staying true to my voice. And with Dan Knobler’s touch on ‘Somebody Somewhere,’ we brought new life to a classic.”

1. “Old Black Southern Woman” (Rissi Palmer/Kyshona Lamiere; Producer: Shannon Sanders)
2. “Can You Run?” (Chris Stapleton/Mike Henderson; Producer: Shannon Sanders
3. “Good To Me” (Rissi Palmer/Shannon Sanders/Hilton Wright II; Producer: Shannon Sanders)
