Rebekah Snyder has released her new single “America”, an ode to the country she lives in, the family she has been blessed with, and the past she continues to heal from. Accompanied only by an acoustic guitar and the emotion in her voice, Snyder delivers something stripped back, honest, and real. The music is sparse, allowing the lyrics to take center stage and it’s those lyrics that carry the weight. Written the day after 9/11, “America” isn’t a power ballad, nor is it trying to be glamorous. Instead, it’s the kind of song Snyder could and still does sing every day, simply and sincerely.
Snyder is a single mother, a survivor, and the granddaughter of a WWII veteran. “America” reflects the everyday values that define her world: the hardworking people often overlooked, the deep inner strength required to endure, and the fierce loyalty and quiet love that run through small town American life. Her personal story lies at the heart of this track, and the sincerity with which it was written is felt in every note she sings. The music video, directed by Marcos Durian and shot in Los Angeles, adds a visual layer to that story. Featuring her daughter and authentic Americana touches like Iron City Beer and Old Spice, the video embraces the kind of real, unfiltered details that many viewers will recognize in their own lives. It’s unpolished, it’s true, and as always Snyder doesn’t shy away from that truth.
“America” is just the beginning of what’s ahead for Rebekah Snyder in 2025, with more singles set to follow. If this track is any indication, we can expect music that cuts through the noise, goes straight to the heart, and speaks without pretense. Snyder isn’t just making songs; she’s telling her story. And in doing so, she’s telling the stories of many others as well. Raised in rural Pennsylvania, and with the sky as her limit (literally she’s a flight instructor), Snyder proves that honest, heartfelt music still has a place in today’s world.
