Rising Latin Country Artist, Angie K, Releases Reflective And Personal Self-Titled EP






























RISING LATIN COUNTRY ARTIST, ANGIE K, RELEASES REFLECTIVE AND PERSONAL SELF-TITLED EP 
 
Named a 2025 Artist to Watch by Consequence and Nashville Scene,
 
EP Release Follows Engagement to Long-Time Girlfriend, Marissa Boucher
News Shared Exclusively with Us Weekly
 
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – 2024 was a break out year for El Salvador-born, rising country singer/songwriter Angie K which found the powerhouse vocalist making her Grand Ole Opry debut and premiering her video for “Golden” in Times Square via CMT. Showing no signs of slowing down, she is kicking 2025 off with the release of a personal and reflective self-titled EP now available. 

Named a 2025 Artist to Watch by both Consequence and the Nashville Scene, Angie K is a co-writer on all six tracks of the independent release called, “fiery and fierce,” by Entertainment Focus. Produced by acclaimed writer/producer and BMI Songwriter of the Year, Stephony Smith, listen to Angie K HERE (preferred music platform) or below:
 
 
REVIEW: Angie K’s self-titled EP is a dynamic, deeply personal body of work that highlights her storytelling prowess and musical versatility. Whether through the fiery passion of ‘Stay,' the heartbreak of ‘Red Dirt,' or the anthemic grit of ‘Games,' she brings a unique voice and perspective to country music. This EP is a testament to her ability to honour tradition while pushing the genre in exciting new directions, making it a must-listen for fans of heartfelt, country music and for people who love to experiment a little with what they listen to. - 4 STARS EF Country

“This is definitely one of the toughest projects I’ve ever made,” shared Angie K. “Not so much in the studio with the band but writing these songs and deciding on what made the cut. Purposely choosing the most vulnerable ones…that took a lot of emotional work.” 
 
She continues, “Putting something so personal out requires letting go of the way people might react to it, as an artist that’s hard to do. ‘Red Dirt’ and ‘Death of Me’ are songs about deep grief. While ‘Games’ and ‘I’m Going Under’ have repressed anger and frustration coursing through them. ‘Stay’ and ‘Golden’ are both about me finding my way out of those darker feelings. This EP is a snapshot of my life when I wrote these songs. I’m so proud of it and excited for folks to go on this emotional journey.”
 
The release of the EP comes on the heels of a major personal life moment for the out, country artist as well, her engagement to longtime love, Marissa Boucher. Angie shared the news exclusively yesterday with Us Weekly, “When I pulled out the ring and she saw it, I knew she was going to say yes. We both cried, it was the best moment of my life. Then she ran and got her bag and pulled out a ring too! It was an unreal moment. Then as if the night couldn’t get better, as we walked back to the restaurant, a violin player started playing some of our favorite songs — all pure chance. It really was the most perfect way to end the night.”
 
A 2024 CMT LISTEN UP artist, Angie K was born and raised in El Salvador until age 11 before moving to Georgia, with her love for country music was nurtured from a young age. Her mother’s dedication, saving up to bring her to Nashville to the Grand Ole Opry, came full circle with her making her Opry debut last Aug., fulfilling a lifelong dream. The Holler “Artist You Need to Know” is set to return to the Opry stage on Feb. 15 to celebrate the new EP. 

American Songwriter was on hand for her emotional Opry debut sharing, “Her voice rang strong and clear through the Grand Ole Opry House, compelling fans to raise their phones on the last song and fill the darkened theater with light—a moving display of acceptance and adoration for a woman who has dreamed of standing in the hallowed circle since before her feet touched North American soil.”

The EP release follows a recent collaboration with Jimencio for the Tejano and country music infused “Yo Quiero Todo.” Co-penned by Jimencio and Angie K, it is the first collaboration between the Nashville artists, with the duo lauding an unconditional love that withstands all circumstances.

A member of the 2023 CMT Next Women of Country class, Angie worked on the EP with legendary writer/producer Smith, who penned the smash hit “It’s Your Love” for Tim McGraw/Faith Hill and has received cuts from some of music’s biggest stars including The Chicks, Shania Twain, Barbara Streisand, Kenny Chesney, Terri Clark, Reba McEntire and more. She explained the influence Smith had on her when it came to releasing “Death of Me” in a “Holler Nashville Session” sharing, “It's a very vulnerable song, and I almost didn't put in on the record, but I'm glad I did - just because of the stories I've heard of people relating to it.” 

As an out and independent artist, she has accumulated over 20 million+ streams and 500k+ followers. Angie has also shared the stage with Tanya Tucker, Trace Adkins, Melissa Etheridge and more. She took the main stage at Nashville Pride and the Reverb Stage at CMA Fest last year.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Rising country singer/songwriter and HOLLER “Artist You Need to Know,” Angie K has had a breakout year which includes making her Grand Ole Opry debut. Today she releases the song that closed out that first-time performance and earned her a standing ovation on the hallowed stage, “Golden.” The thoughtful and reflective ballad is available now. Listen HERE. (Preferred music platform) or below:
“‘Golden’ is a song about the present,” shared Angie K, “and to remember that the greatest gift we can give each other is our time so slow down and savor every moment.”

"Golden" is the latest new music from Angie K and will be featured on her forthcoming self-titled EP, Angie K. Produced by acclaimed writer/producer and BMI Songwriter of the Year, Stephony Smith, the EP will be released independently early next year. 

Written by Angie K along with Mary Kutter, Brian Alexander and Noah Lubert, the independently released track finds her reflecting on our most precious commodity…time…and soaking in every second. 

Nobody knows what’s coming tomorrow 
Every breath we’re breathing is borrowed 
Make the most of every moment
Cause someday, these days will be Golden

This latest release follows the Latin country artist’s recent collaboration with Jimencio for the Tejano and country music infused “Yo Quiero Todo.” Co-penned by Jimencio and Angie K, it is the first collaboration between the Nashville artists, with the duo lauding an unconditional love that withstands all circumstances. Listen to “Yo Quiero Todo” HERE. 

The queer country artist first made her mark on Music City with bilingual track, “Real Talk,” catapulting her onto the country scene as a “Highway Find” on SiriusXM’s The Highway. The new music follows the powerhouse vocalist’s recent releases “Stay,” “Death of Me” and “Red Dirt on Mars,” which left Billboard praising her “disarming vulnerability.” She also recently explained the influence Smith had on her when it came to releasing “Death of Me” in a “Holler Nashville Session” sharing, “It's a very vulnerable song, and I almost didn't put in on the record, but I'm glad I did - just because of the stories I've heard of people relating to it.” Listen to “Stay” , “Red Dirt on Mars” (222K Streams) and “Death of Me” HERE. 

The 2023 CMT Next Women of Country artist has been in the studio working on the forthcoming EP with Smith, who penned the smash hit “It’s Your Love” for Tim McGraw/Faith Hill and has received cuts from some of music’s biggest stars including The Chicks, Shania Twain, Barbara Streisand, Kenny Chesney, Terri Clark, Reba McEntire and more. 

Named a 2024 CMT LISTEN UP artist with CMT also calling her an “up-and-coming female artist to watch,” this year is certainly shaping up to be a breakout year for Angie K. Born and raised in El Salvador until age 11 and raised in Georgia, her love for country music was nurtured from a young age. Her mother’s dedication, saving up to bring her to Nashville to the Grand Ole Opry, came full circle with her making her Opry debut in Aug., fulfilling a lifelong dream.
