In a city where artists rise and fall with dizzying speed, Georgia-born Erin Kirby has arrived with a voice and vision that demand attention. Her debut EP, In and Out of Love, released today on all streaming platforms, is a compelling testament to her talent as both a vocalist and a storyteller, establishing her as one of Music City’s most promising new voices.
Clocking in at five tracks, In and Out of Love is more than a collection of songs—it’s a journey. From the initial spark of infatuation to the aching finality of heartbreak, Kirby navigates the full arc of a relationship with unflinching honesty. Her lyrics feel lived-in, each line etched with the kind of emotional truth that can only come from experience. Sonically, the EP is stripped down just enough to let Kirby’s voice take center stage, yet it retains a genre-blending vibrancy that nods to country’s roots while hinting at pop and Americana influences.
Standout tracks like "I Think I’m in Love Again" (co-written with Ryan Kohn and Davis Loose) balance vulnerability and strength, capturing the intoxicating thrill of falling headfirst into love while hinting at the uncertainty that always lingers beneath the surface. "Whiskey Does", another collaboration with Kohn and Loose, is a masterclass in storytelling, chronicling the solace and the pain found at the bottom of a glass, the familiar comfort of heartache turned into art. Across the EP, Kirby’s soaring vocals carry each lyric with a sincerity that makes listeners feel as though they’re being let in on the most intimate chapters of her life.
"I hope while you’re listening you can see the story we have carefully crafted play out in your mind. Each song was written from the heart," Kirby shares of the new EP. "This project has been years in the making and I’m so excited for it to finally be out.”
What sets In and Out of Love apart is not just its melodic appeal or polished production, but its emotional resonance. In an era when debut projects can sometimes feel calculated or cautious, Kirby’s willingness to bare her heart so openly feels daring and necessary. It’s a record that doesn’t shy away from complexity of love, loss, and everything in between and that honesty is what gives it lasting power.
Erin Kirby isn’t just another new name in Nashville; she’s a storyteller with the rare ability to turn personal experience into universal connection. It announces the arrival of an artist unafraid to dig deep, to sing with vulnerability, and to craft songs that linger long after the music stops. For anyone searching for country music that feels both timeless and utterly of the moment, Erin Kirby’s EP is a must-listen.
