RISSI PALMER ANNOUNCES NEW "PERSPECTIVES" EP, SET FOR RELEASE IN FEBRUARY 2026

Nashville, TN (Dec. 4, 2025) - Acclaimed singer-songwriter Rissi Palmer is set to release her highly anticipated EP, PERSPECTIVES, on February 6, 2026. With four dynamic tracks, the EP highlights Palmer’s exceptional gift for storytelling, blending her personal experiences with her broad musical influences.

PRE-SAVE:   Perspectives EP

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?” (written by Chris Stapleton), and the poignant “Somebody Somewhere” (an homage to Country legend Loretta Lynn), PERSPECTIVES is a celebration of both tradition and progress. It’s a deeply personal collection that reflects Palmer’s roots while looking ahead to the future.

“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.”
