Riley Clemmons Reimagines Hit Single “Keep On Hoping” with Intimate Piano Version

April 17, 2021

Today, Riley Clemmons has released an exclusive new version of her powerful new single “Keep on Hoping.” This intimate and moving rendition strips back all production – featuring Riley on piano and the support of a full choir – further impressing the song’s promise that things get better after going through life’s difficulties. “Keep on Hoping” has already set records for the vocal powerhouse, becoming Riley’s fastest single release thus far, amassing over 3.2 million streams across digital platforms in its first 5 weeks. “Keep on Hoping” (Piano Choir Version) is now available to stream HERE
“When I went into the studio, I just remember this sense of heaviness,” shares Riley. “I think it was coming from the sheer amount of noise and voices I was hearing whether it was picking up my phone and scrolling or on the TV or the people in my life, even if they were good voices. I wanted to write a song about hope and the truth that things do get better. I hope this song serves as a reminder to keep looking up, to keep the heart, and to keep on singing even on the bad days.”
Riley Clemmons is a 21-year-old recording artist based in Nashville. Cutting her teeth in Music City, Riley spent years honing her craft in writers’ rooms before signing with a label at 16. She sky-rocketed onto the scene with her 2017 debut single “Broken Prayers,” which has amassed over 30 million global streams since its release. Her 2018 self-titled debut quickly entered the Billboard Heatseekers Albums Chart, debuting at No. 13. Since the start of her career Riley has accumulated over 190 million global streams and 42 million YouTube video views. An accomplished composer, performer, producer, and recording artist, Riley draws inspiration from life experiences, blending musical influences ranging from pop to classic rock to create music that is as catchy as it is relatable.
