JAELEE ROBERTS
“Heavy as a Stone in Her Heart”
DESCRIPTION:
Reigning IBMA Female Vocalist of the Year Jaelee Roberts’ “Heavy as a Stone in Her Heart” stays tightly focused on her haunting voice and sensitive interpretation. The song underlines the unusual musical maturity of an artist barely out of college, yet already an acclaimed veteran. The first time Jaelee heard the demo she was absolutely floored by the lyrics, melody, and raw emotion, and she knew without a doubt that she was going to record it. Slow, sad songs that tell a story always speak to her most, and this one absolutely stole her heart and broke it.
