Emily Ann Roberts initially made a splash in 2015 as a contestant on NBC's televised talent competition The Voice. During that season, the show's ninth, she represented the country contingent, and her high, keening twang evoked classic country while also seeming contemporary. Roberts wound up placing second, during which time she racked up several hits on the country charts; the biggest was a cover of Cam's "Burning House," which went to number four. After her run on The Voice wrapped up, she finished off high school, then returned to her pop music career in 2019 with the release of the EP Someday Dream.
