Tyler Reese Tritt Steps Into the Spotlight With Bold New EP ‘Wild at Heart’
For Tyler Reese Tritt, music isn’t just a career — it’s a legacy. But with the release of her highly anticipated debut EP, Wild at Heart, the rising country artist is proving she’s not just following in the footsteps of her father, country icon Travis Tritt — she’s blazing her own trail.
The Georgia-born singer-songwriter delivers a confident, fresh chapter with the five-track project, blending southern grit with emotional storytelling and a bold vocal presence. While her last name carries history, this EP makes one thing clear: Tyler Reese Tritt’s sound belongs to her alone.
Produced by Matt McClure, Wild at Heart captures a powerful fusion of vulnerability and strength. Each song explores themes of heartbreak, independence, resilience, and self-realization — a storytelling style that has long defined the heart of country music. With the exception of the raw ballad “You Lost Me,” Tritt leans into energy, attitude, and unapologetic confidence, marking a defining moment in her artistic evolution.
Tyler Reese’s journey began early. At just 14 years old, she joined her father onstage for a rendition of “Sometimes Love Just Ain’t Enough,” a performance that caught national attention and signaled the beginning of a promising path. Since then, she has released singles including “Porch Light” and the fiery “Texas Hold Him,” steadily attracting a loyal fan base and growing industry interest.
Her rising profile has earned her opening slots for major artists such as Sheryl Crow and Runaway June, further establishing her as one of country music’s most compelling new names.
One of the standout songs on the EP is “Smoke,” written by Nicole Witt, Lee Brice, and Joe Leathers. Dark, cinematic, and emotionally layered, the track explores the slow unraveling of a relationship — the moment love becomes something intangible and impossible to hold onto.
“‘Smoke’ is one of those songs that lingers,” Tritt shares. “It’s haunting in the best way. It captures that moment when love changes into something you can’t keep — like trying to catch smoke in your hands.”
With Wild at Heart, Tyler Reese Tritt steps out fully formed — confident, authentic, and unafraid to show both strength and softness. It’s the kind of debut that doesn’t just introduce an artist, but announces one.
And for country fans watching closely, one message rings loud and clear:
Tyler Reese Tritt isn’t just continuing a legacy — she’s building her own.
