New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Multi-platinum-selling global superstar
Carrie Underwood released the track listing and songwriters for her upcoming studio album, Cry Pretty, available on
September 14. Her first time officially in the Producer chair, Underwood co-produced Cry Pretty alongside
David Garcia and she co-wrote nine of the songs featured on the album making it one of her most personal albums to date.
Underwood wrote the title track and lead single, "Cry Pretty," with Hillary Lindsey, Lori McKenna and Liz Rose (The Love Junkies). Underwood, exposing pure, raw emotion earned critical praise for her powerful debut performance of "
Cry Pretty" at the Academy of Country
Music Awards in Las Vegas.
"She brings dignity and drama to being broken. And in her power-vocal relentlessness, Underwood shatters conventional wisdom with a potent few words and a squealing guitar." - Hits
"…a classic country song with soul at its cathartic heart" - NPR
"…channeled her inner country-soul diva" during the "knockout rendition." - Rolling Stone
Cry Pretty includes a bonus track also co-written by Underwood featuring Ludacris, "
The Champion" which opened NBC's Super Bowl LII and was incorporated into the 2018 Olympic Winter Games coverage earlier this year.
