Fast-rising country singer-songwriter Avery Anna is set to return with a deeply personal new project, announcing her upcoming six-track EP ‘forgive, forget.,' arriving on March 13. The collection marks a bold new creative chapter for the young artist, showcasing a more vulnerable and emotionally raw side of her songwriting.
The EP features the newly released rock-leaning track ‘Man Downstairs' alongside ‘Fear In God,' a faith-driven duet with fellow country breakout Sam Barber. The collaboration reunites the pair following the success of their 2025 hit ‘Indigo,' which became a Platinum-certified viral favourite and climbed into the Top 10 of Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. Their powerful vocal chemistry previously led to a standout joint performance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, and ‘Fear In God' looks set to build on that momentum.
Speaking about the project, Avery Anna describes forgive, forget. as her most honest body of work to date, shaped by intense personal experiences over the past few years. The EP explores themes of healing, faith, heartbreak and emotional growth, delivered without compromise or calculation. According to Anna, the openness of the material makes the release both exciting and nerve-wracking, reflecting just how personal these songs are.
The six-song tracklist highlights Anna’s continued evolution as both a songwriter and performer:
Fear In God – written by Avery Anna and Sam Barber
Man Downstairs – written by Avery Anna, Michael Tyler, David Fanning and Andy Sheridan

The announcement arrives as Avery Anna prepares to hit the road on her headlining Girl Of Constant Sorrow Tour, launching March 12 in Cincinnati before continuing through April with additional dates. Her live reputation continues to grow alongside her recording success, with recent praise highlighting her genre-blending versatility. That range was on full display with her widely acclaimed cover of Ozzy Osbourne’s ‘No More Tears,' a performance that drew significant attention for its fearless reinterpretation of the rock classic.
With ‘forgive, forget.,' Avery Anna leans fully into emotional storytelling while expanding her sonic palette, positioning the EP as an important next step for one of country music’s most compelling emerging voices.
