KACY HILL RELEASES ‘BUT ANYWAY, NO WORRIES!’ EP

Today, acclaimed Phoenix-born, LA-based singer-songwriter Kacy Hill has arrived with her new EP, But Anyway, No Worries! via Nettwerk. The collection showcases Hill’s most lyrically focused and emotionally resonant work to date, blending her trademark vulnerability with the timeless textures of Americana and folk music.

The EP’s latest track, “What Would’ve Been,” arrives as a stirring collaboration with Charlie Martin of indie duo Hovvdy and produced by Tommy King (Vampire Weekend, HAIM, RAYE). The track reflects on the quiet ache of loss and the lingering wonder of unrealized possibilities. “‘What Would’ve Been’ was started with Charlie Martin of Hovvdy on a Nashville trip. It felt like an interesting seed of a song, so I took it back to LA and produced it with Tommy King alongside the rest of the EP,” Hill shares. “It is about the wistful disassociation of grief, wondering what could’ve been.”

But Anyway, No Worries! signals a striking evolution for Hill—melding her ethereal pop sensibilities with deeply rooted folk and Americana influences. It is an invitation into the most intimate corners of her creative soul. With echoes of Americana and country influences, the But Anyway, No Worries! EP indicates a new chapter in Hill’s artistry—one grounded more deeply in melody, storytelling, and honesty than ever before.

Hill describes But Anyway, No Worries! as the project she has been striving to create for years. She reflects, “This project was written in LA and Nashville and in so many ways, feels like the project I’ve been trying to make for years. I’ve had so much to say and work through over the past year and felt like the best way to say it was to just write songs. Every project I’ve made before has started with production ideas, and I build songs around little production loops or ideas, but this was entirely about the words and melody. I want to make something timeless that feels deeply from me and pulls from my biggest inspirations in country and folk music.”

But Anyway, No Worries! EP includes Hill’s previous 2025 singles, “The Garden,” “Please Don’t Cry” and “When in Rome.” Co-written with Tofer Brown (Jon Pardi, Lady Antebellum) and co-produced by Paul Cartwright (Chappell Roan, Olivia Rodrigo), “The Garden” explores the visceral aftermath of a breakup, using the imagery of a once-tended backyard garden now left behind as a symbol of love lost and the lingering ache of absence. Hill’s delivery is soft yet aching, rooted in restraint, evoking both quiet devastation and the slow process of emotional regrowth.

Co-written by Kacy Hill, Campbell Burns (of Vacations), and John Velasquez (Zella Day, Gatlin), and co-produced by Tommy King and Hill herself, “Please Don’t Cry” exemplifies her distinctive approach to the folk and Americana landscape. With its blend of warm, earthy tones and modern sonic textures alongside Hill’s clear, expressive voice, the single continues her exploration of storytelling through an updated lens. “When in Rome,” co-written with John Vincent III, delves into the vulnerable “hoping stage” of a breakup, reflecting on the lingering desire to rewrite an ending and avoid the finality of loss. These tracks have been praised by the likes of NPR, Stereogum, The FADER, Pitchfork, FLOOD, Monster Children, Hypebeast, Ones To Watch, and more.

Kacy Hill will bring her new songs to the stage this fall, starting with a performance at AMERICANAFEST on September 13 at Nashville’s The Basement East. For more information and updates on Kacy Hill, visit https://www.kacyhill.com.
