Anne Wilson, the rising star in the country music scene, has unveiled the highly anticipated music video for her debut single, “Rain In The Rearview”. This milestone follows closely on the heels of Wilson’s recent inclusion in the prestigious 2024 CMT Next Women of Country class.
Starting with Wilson driving in the rain, the video takes a poignant turn, depicting her standing strong in the pouring rain—an empowering symbol of resilience in the face of challenges. The video concludes with Wilson driving into the unknown, signifying a bold leap toward brighter days ahead.
In an exclusive interview with CMT, Wilson shared her thoughts on the video, stating, “The three versions of me and the perspectives of all three were so accurate to how my life has been. We all go through different seasons and sometimes need the reminder that we can leave our past behind us.”
The accompanying track, “Rain In The Rearview,” co-written by Wilson alongside Matthew West, Jaren Johnston, and Zach Kale, is currently gaining traction at country radio. Released in September, the single has received acclaim from critics, with MusicRow noting that “vocally she’s got the goods,” and Billboard highlighting the “acoustic coda showcasing Wilson’s ceiling-scraping vocal capabilities.” As part of her innovative fusion of Christian and Country genres, the three-pack of songs titled REBEL (The Beginning) has received praise, with Holler declaring it as a clear mission statement for Wilson’s new country-leaning direction.
Wilson was recently recognized as one of Spotify’s Hot Country Artists to Watch 2024, solidifying her position as a rising star in the country music scene.
