That would be wonderful! And of course we can talk about her albums here too.

That sounds like a good idea for the OP

I feel each album has its own sort of style, especially the last few, so I do wonder what this next one will be like

Carrie Underwood is heading into new territory with her upcoming new album, Cry Pretty. The Oklahoma native is co-producing the record with David Garcia, marking her first time she has taken on the important role.

“The Cry Pretty album is the first time I’ve put myself into having the title of producer," Underwood explains. "I’ve been so lucky with all of my other projects just been surrounded by people that very much wanted my opinion creatively in every aspect and they’ve listened to what I wanted, because at the end of the day it’s my name, it’s my music. So, I’ve been very lucky, and it just seemed to be the next step to kind of take even more ownership over my music and my art and be a producer on the album.

"I’ve been lucky enough to work with David Garcia who’s an incredible songwriter and producer, and I’ve learned so much through working with him," she continues. "So, it’s been a wonderful process and it’s given me something, another step creatively to take that I’m very proud of.”

The title track of Cry Pretty was co-written by Underwood, and shows all the emotions she has felt the last few months.

"Sometimes you get together and you write a song, which is exactly what you're feeling in that moment, and that was 'Cry Pretty,' for me," explains Underwood. "I think 'Cry Pretty' sets the tone for the rest of the album, because it's emotional, and it is real, but there's also just some incredible musical moments in the song, and I feel like those things are things that will go throughout the rest of the album.

"We have a lot of songs on there that are definitely emotional and kind of soulful and real and raw," she continues. "There's so much love and care and heart that has gone into writing these songs, putting music to these songs. Everything has been done in such a careful and loving way."

Love that she's producing it!

With people demanding to "see her face" after her accident, I can see her sitting in the corner of her room, writing the song, saying, "Just leave me alone. Let me heal in my own time. I'm gonna cry, even if it's not pretty".
