Underwood works on new album during break
Carrie Underwood is lying low this year; there's no tour on the schedule and you can count on one hand the times she's performed in public so far in 2009. But that doesn't mean she's taking it easy. The reigning Academy of Country Music entertainer of the year is at work on a new album, due to be released Nov. 3 on 19 Recordings/Arista Nashville. A new single is planned for late summer.
"I can't multitask that well, I suppose," she said of taking time off from touring to record. "I like to be focused on one thing and do the best possible job I can, no matter what that one thing is, whether I'm completely touring or completely writing or completely recording. That's how I operate. Right now, it's been really nice. I'm still working very hard, but I get to go home to my own bed at night, which is really nice."
Carrie says she's still in the writing stage, working with tunesmiths here in Nashville to create the songs that will comprise the follow-up to Carnival Ride, an album on which she co-wrote four songs. Mark Bright is producing; he also worked on Carnival Ride and Carrie's debut, Some Hearts.
"I've definitely been writing a lot more, and I'm getting more comfortable in my writing abilities, kinda branching out and writing with people who aren't necessarily in country music," she said. "I'm not planning on changing the kind of music that I sing, but it's nice to bring a different flavor into it."
Carrie will take a break from her touring break to headline the Week of the Eagles concert series at Fort Campbell in August.; it's one of only a handful of concerts scheduled this year. For details, see page 1A.
