Биография

Whether you ask Taste of Country, Today In Nashville, or any of the other journalists, bloggers, and country music lovers that she has spoken with, there’s one thing they can all agree on – Kristi Hoopes has the tried and true sound that country music needs right now. Her debut EP, Life of the Party - produced by Grammy winner Paul Worley (The Chicks, Lady A) and Biff Watson (Don Williams, Crystal Gayle) - is unapologetically country yet unafraid to dabble in the unconventional and features Hoopes as a writer on all six tracks. From swampy, firebrand southern rock to delicate singer-songwriter ballads (and even a bit of four-on-the-floor disco), Life of the Party offers listeners a wide range of soundscapes all soaked in nostalgia. "I think that's one of the many reasons why country music is loved so much," says Hoopes. "The songs we cherish the most are entwined with the memories they conjure up. Like nostalgia, the songs on this record are bittersweet. Maybe you're the one leaving your hometown behind, falling in love - or lamenting it - for the first time. All those life moments we experience, the ups and downs, are here." Hoopes turned the chairs of Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, and Jennifer Hudson before 11.9 million viewers on Season 13 of NBC's The Voice and took her place as the final member of Team Blake. Her new music was fully funded by fans via Indiegogo. Life of the Party is now available on all major streaming platforms and digital retailers.
