Today, multi-talented artist and one of People Magazine’s Emerging Artists Riley Clemmons returns with her first new music since her 2021 smash “For the Good.” The single, “Loved By You” marks a new season for the 23-year old Nashville native, having taken the last year to focus on honing her skills as a songwriter and performer. The resulting song, co-written with Paul Duncan (Lauren Daigle, Leslie Odom, JR) and Jeff Pardo (Lady A, Ben Rector), demonstrates a new confidence within Riley and the next level of music she seeks to create with a larger sound and higher production. “Loved By You” is the first single from Riley’s much anticipated third studio album, coming later this year.

“I am truly and deeply thrilled to be back and releasing music again,” shares Riley. “This season of creating and writing has been life-changing and healing for me in more ways than I can explain. I started releasing music very young and, to say the least, I’ve done a lot of growing up between 18 and 23. I believe “Loved By You,” along with the new album as a whole reflect that growth and maturing. l’m ready and excited for listeners to hear this new side of my heart, artistry, and music. This chapter is going to be a special one.”
