Good Girl

Single Release0 Comments

The artist releases, Good Girl, from Blown Away.

We went into the writing session thinking we need to write something that just kicks butt, and Chris DeStefano, I call him a little mad scientist on all of his Pro Tools stuff — he, like, plays every instrument you could possibly think of, and he, like, started makin’ this track, and we started…we just went. It was fast. We wrote it fast, and it’s just fun! It’s upbeat, it’s fun, you stomp your feet, and you can dance to it. It’s got this really rockin’ verse, and this really, like, rockin’ country chorus. So, it’s just a really cool song

Carrie Underwood interview

Seacrest interviews Underwood during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about working on new music for her fans.

I’ve been writing quite a bit. And I’ve been in the studio a little bit. So I probably have about half an album done right now and trying to fill in the gaps and figure out what pieces of the puzzle are missing, but it’s a fun time right now figuring everything out.

Remind Me

Single Release0 Comments

The artist releases his single, Remind Me, featuring vocals from Underwood, from his album, This Is Country Music. Paisley says that Underwood was his first choice to record the duet with:

I think we’ve become really close, having toured together and become friends and co-hosting the CMAs for several years. We just get along great and sing great together. She’s probably pretty much my first choice to sing with when it comes to a duet with a woman like that. I mean, we just sort of share the same values and get along that well. And also, I just don’t think there’s a better singer than her, so it’s sort of selfish to be able to sing with her and perform. Every take sounded like that [the final recording]

Underwood appears on the cover of the April 2010 issue of Allure magazine. She talks about her fiance and being happy changing her songs.

He could have put a twisty-tie on my finger and that would have worked. He is the person that I see making me happy for the rest of our lives, and he is the person I would do anything for to make him happy. I very well may be the luckiest girl in the world.

Temporary Home

Single Release0 Comments

The artist releases, Temporary Home, from, Play On. Co-writer, Maloy:

Carrie had had this thought that, I believe, she read about in a book that life is a temporary home. I think it’s an amazing song and feel pretty proud to be a part of the writing process for a song like that. I hear so many people talk about how they were so touched by it. I had messages on my e-mail, Facebook and Twitter saying, ‘This song helped me get through something traumatic.’ I think the song is great and is a beautiful three-part story about how [everything is] OK; this is just temporary, and you’ll get through it.

Cowboy Casanova

Single Release0 Comments

The artist releasesCowboy Cassanova, from her album, Play On. 

I think to every woman, this song would be telling a story about someone they know or met or has tried to pick them up in a bar. There’s definitely guys in my past, even if it was a friend’s boyfriend or something.We’re not trashing this guy; we’re just warning these other girls about him. Who knows, maybe now people can listen to this song and better identify these men. I’m helping women around the world!

Last Name

Single Release0 Comments

The artist releases, Last Name, from her album, Carnival Ride.

I met a guy at an after-party and asked him his last name 3 times, but it never stuck. He got my number, we talked a few times, and I didn’t know what his last name was. I was way past the point where I should have known his last name, and if I asked him, I knew it would offend him.

All-American Girl

Single Release0 Comments

The artist releasesAll-American Girl, from, Carnival Ride.

Years ago I got together with a voice coach briefly and I hated it, because I felt like they tried to change things that, like, would make me me, you know? There’s been a lot of growth over the past two years. I think I sound different now. I’ve gotten a lot more practice and everything’s just gotten easier. Like, notes that I could barely hit for the first album – like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is gonna kill me’ – are a piece of cake now. We’re on to new notes now that are way in the stratosphere. On All-American Girl, the high note is the highest I’ve ever hit.
