March 21, 2025 – Acclaimed Phoenix-born, LA-based singer-songwriter Kacy Hill arrives with her new single, “When in Rome,” out today via Nettwerk. The track, co-written with John Vincent III and co-produced by Tommy King (HAIM, RAYE, The 1975), introduces Hill’s sonic transformation into the folk and Americana soundscape, marking a new era of her artistry. Alongside the tender single, Hill has announced an intimate headline tour starting this May.
“When in Rome” delves into the vulnerable “hoping stage” of a breakup, reflecting on the lingering desire to rewrite an ending and avoid the finality of loss. The new single is not just a genre pivot but a testament to Hill’s authenticity and commitment to storytelling. Hill shares, “In the depths of my own grief, I often imagined running into my ex unexpectedly and forgiving everything in the past to start something new and circumvent the inevitable pain of loss. John Vincent III and I wrote this together in Nashville and I finished it with Tommy King back in LA with some wonderfully talented musicians.”
This single serves as the first glimpse of Hill’s forthcoming project, which will be a collection of songs that underscores her artistic reinvention. Through upcoming collaborations with esteemed artists such as John Vincent III, Hovvdy, Madi Diaz, and more, Hill explores the rich traditions of Americana while maintaining her distinctive and alluring style. “When in Rome” follows Kacy Hill & 6LACK’s standalone single “Time’s Up” in January, which was praised by Billboard, UPROXX, Hypebeast, PAPER, Pigeons & Planes, Ones To Watch, and more.

About Kacy Hill:
Hill exemplifies what it means to be a genre-bending artist–consistently challenging herself to expand her horizons while upholding authenticity at the forefront of her work. Four albums in (2024's BUG, 2021's Simple, Sweet, And Smiling, 2020's Is It Selfish If We Talk About Me Again, and 2017's Like A Woman), this new chapter is a culmination of reworking her songwriting process to create the project she’s strived to make over the course of her career. For this record, Hill honed in on strongly developing each song from its lyrics and melodies, compared to previous works where she’d build from production fragments or ideas.
While Hill has been recognized for notable collaborations with Travis Scott (“90210)” and Bon Iver (“PDLIF”), her new music positions her as a revitalizing voice for Americana and folk music. “I want to make something timeless that feels deeply from me and pulls from my biggest inspirations in country and folk music,” says Hill, proving the dedication, she has to demonstrate her comprehensive knowledge and connection to both genres and beyond.
