2018 Return and Evolution at Off The Row Studios

After years of life experience and personal growth, Pamela returned to the studio in 2018, this time recording at Off The Row Music Studio in Franklin, Tennessee. That re-entry marked the beginning of her second major chapter in music, showcasing more refined storytelling, matured vocals, and powerful songwriting partnerships.

This era saw her release the energetic single “Crankin' Up the Crazy” in 2020, quickly followed by multiple tracks that explored both fun and vulnerability.

Pamela Hopkins is not just another country singer—she’s a powerhouse vocalist, skilled songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist with roots planted deep in Little Rock, Arkansas. With a journey that spans decades, from releasing her first all-original Nashville album in 1995 to consistently rolling out new singles every few months, Pamela has proven that passion and perseverance can lead to profound musical achievements. She embodies the true spirit of independent country music—resilient, soulful, and real.

Little Things” and Standout Collaborations

In 2021, Pamela released “Little Things,” a tender country love song featuring the talented Matt Dame and co-written with Trafton Harvey. It became a standout for fans who appreciate heartfelt storytelling and rich vocal harmonies. The duet embodied everything that makes modern country timeless: real emotions, authentic connections, and a beautiful blend of voices.

Other major releases followed that year:

Givin’ a Damn – raw and unapologetic

Back When – a nostalgic nod to simpler times

One More Last Kiss – a ballad tinged with goodbye and longing

Early Days: Nashville Dreams and a 1995 Debut

Long before streaming changed the music industry, Pamela Hopkins was already doing the groundwork. Her first album, a Nashville original project, launched in February 1995, establishing her as a true songwriter with a voice that resonates beyond regional borders. Even then, her fusion of heartfelt lyrics with classic country instrumentation struck a chord with audiences.

From Law Enforcement to Teaching to Touring

Pamela’s story isn’t just about music. Before committing to her full-time career in the studio and on stage, she served in law enforcement and later taught English—balancing professional excellence with family life. Now, in her latest season, she’s pursuing her musical dream with more focus and determination than ever.
