Carrie Underwood
"Carnival Ride"
Arista Nashville
Her innocent demeanor and killer vocals helped gain "American Idol" status when she won the show a few seasons back. Her song about getting revenge on a cheating boyfriend rocked the charts and stole some hearts. As of last Tuesday, her sophomore album was out in stores and will bring her to a whole new level of stardom.
Carrie Underwood is the endearing country singer who stole millions of hearts to take home the gold on "American Idol." While her first CD "Some Hearts" had a great beat and wonderful songs, which won her a Grammy, her new album has taken her voice to a whole different level.
Underwood's voice has garnered more strength in her newest album "Carnival Ride." The powerful vocals set each song apart from the other and each has its own unique beat.
It is obvious to the listener that Underwood has grown a lot as an artist since her debut CD and, as a result, has put together a phenomenal CD that will blow some of her biggest enemies away with how great it is.
One of the best songs on the CD is the very first one, which sets the tone for the rest of the album. "Flat on the Floor" is the epitome of a song that is being sung out loud by many while driving in the car. It is an upbeat song that talks about moving forward and hiding from the rain that can follow a person in their life. It has the definite potential to become Underwood's next single off the album with the type of tempo it possesses.
Speaking of singles, the first one off the album is called "So Small" and is the third track on the album. This is the exact kind of track that will rake in the money because it has the type of melody that can be used for anything. It is the song that can cause people's spirits to be lifted and to live life to the very fullest.
Many believe that a song can cause an impact on one's life through its lyrics and this song could be considered one of them. The video shows how people let the little things get to them when, in reality, they should just let their small troubles go. This truly reflects the very nature of the song.
