Fresh from signing a global publishing deal with Community Music and earning an APRA AMCOS 2026 Most Performed Country Work nomination for ‘TROUBLE’ (with Tori Darke), Australian country artist Jay Santilli is set to release her new EP HEART on June 12.Led by radio single ‘Meant For Me’, the six-track project explores themes of ambition, resilience, love and self-belief. Drawing from her own experiences chasing a music career, Santilli delivers her most personal collection of songs to date.”‘HEART’ is about holding onto your dreams, backing yourself through the setbacks, and appreciating the people who support you along the way,” says Santilli. “It’s a snapshot of where I’ve been and where I’m heading.”Produced predominantly by Nashville’s Noah Needleman (Brett Young, Colbie Caillat, Gavin DeGraw), the EP features songwriting collaborations with Jesse Dozzi, Ben Wagner, Morgan Johnston and Michael Mumford.The release marks the beginning of a major year for Santilli, with a second EP already planned for later in 2026. Following recent support across radio and streaming platforms, and performances alongside artists including Kaylee Bell, Taylor Moss, Wade Forster and Andrew Swift, HEART further cements her position as one of Australia’s rising country artists.HEART is available on all streaming platforms from June 12, with lead single ‘Meant For Me’ serviced to Australian country radio.
