Emmy Russell Seeks ‘Redemption’ on First Post-‘American Idol’ Single


After competing on 'American Idol,' Loretta Lynn's granddaughter Emmy Russell released her single 'Redemption.'

Just days before the show’s finale Sunday, the singer and granddaughter of Loretta Lynn released her single “Redemption,” written about her experience after a “painful breakup.” “I found my redemption in being alone and admitting to myself, ‘I don’t deserve this,’ which led me to a door I’d been craving to open… I finally realized my worth by looking to God, letting the truth that ‘I am loved’ sink in,” she added. Russell’s single release comes before the finale of American Idol on Sunday, which will see the competition crown either Abi Carter, Jack Blocker, or Will Moseley.
