These are the tracks that will be on Blown Away, Carrie Underwood’s 4th studio album:

1. Good Girl (Carrie Underwood/Chris DeStefano/Ashley Gorley) – 3:24
2. Blown Away (Chris Tompkins/Josh Kear) – 4:00
3. Two Black Cadillacs (Carrie Underwood/Hillary Lindsey/Josh Kear) – 4:58
4. See You Again (Carrie Underwood/Hillary Lindsey/Dave Hodges) – 4:06
5. Do You Think About Me (Cary Barlowe, Hillary Lindsey, Shane Stevens) – 3:37
6. Forever Changed (Tom Douglas, Hillary Lindsey, James Slater) – 4:02
7. Nobody Ever Told You (Carrie Underwood/Hillary Lindsey/Luke Laird) – 4:10
8. One Way Ticket (Carrie Underwood/Luke Laird/Josh Kear) – 3:56
9. Thank God For Hometowns (Ashley Gorley, Luke Laird, Hillary Lindsey) – 4:01
10. Good In Goodbye (Carrie Underwood/Ryan Tedder/Hillary Lindsey) – 4:17
11. Leave Love Alone (Gordie Sampson/Hillary Lindsey/Troy Verges) – 3:19
12. Cupid’s Got A Shotgun (Carrie Underwood/Chris Tompkins/Josh Kear) – 3:43
13. Wine After Whiskey (Carrie Underwood/Tom Shapiro/Dave Berg) – 3:51
14. Who Are You (Mutt Lange) – 3:55.

Wine After Whiskey, which I had blogged about previously, has made the album while the Lori McKenna track, Nobody Knows, has not.

All in all, the titles are quite interesting. I’m very interested in hearing the Ryan Tedder track, Good in Goodbye actually. The album features 8 Carrie Underwood co-writes and 8 Hillary Lindsey co-writes. This should be a good mix.

Nobody Knows – Lori McKenna Track Cut By Carrie Underwood For Blown Away?

According to the Boston Globe, Carrie Underwood has cut the Lori McKenna track titled Nobody Knows but has yet to release it on any album.

We know Lori McKenna has most probably landed a cut on Carrie’s new album. So could Nobody Knows be the one for Blown Away?

I found a demo floating around by Lori McKenna of the song and it’s quite different from the sound Carrie has been known for. It’s more folky and more subdued. I quite like it, actually, and would like to hear Carrie’s interpretation of it because it would surely take it to the next level. And with a song like this, the next level would be simply spectacular.

Let me tell you, the lyrics are great.

You can listen to Nobody Knows here:

Let me know what you think? Would this be something you’d like Carrie to record?

Good Girl (Music Video) – Carrie Underwood

Carrie Underwood has just released the music video for Good Girl (check out the lyrics and my review) and she looks absolutely stunning in it. Playing both good and bad girl, she waltzes through impeccable art direction, many outfit changes and, as I’ve mentioned before, turns up her sex appeal a few notches.

With hints here and there, be it through the dresses or through the flowers (which are a constant fixture in three of her album covers), Carrie is also passing on a subtle meaning that she is moving on to a different direction: the character pulls off the petals from the daisy that was present on the cover of both Play On and her first album Some Hearts.

Some are calling it her best music video yet. Regardless of what your preference may be, this is one of her best, without a doubt. In fact, the professionalism of this video is giving me hope that this album round will not be another color by number era for Underwood. She’s actually trying her best to make it count – and it clearly shows.

The video is also very fast paced, similarly to the song, making it quite fitting and it will surely help Good Girl to become a bigger hit than it already is. And with Underwood hinting that it may soon rival Before He Cheats as her biggest hit, this video will contribute to any crossover attempt the label may be working for.

Without further ado, I present Good Girl:

Carrie Underwood’s “Good Girl” Music Video To Debut on Monday March 12th – Pictures Inside

Carrie Underwood has probably turned up her sex appeal a whole notch with her Blown Away era. After a fiery first single in the form of Good Girl (read my review here), she’s set to release the music video for the song as an Entertainment Tonight exclusive on Monday, March 12th.

And it doesn’t end there.

Starting today, March 9th, VEVO will begin to promote the music video with never-before-seen footage from the music video shoot. The video will be released to iTunes on Tuesday, as well.

I’ll be posting the video the moment it becomes available. However, for the Carrie and country music fans that read my blog, here are two pictures that will get you by until Monday.

The first one, the sexiness of which I cannot get over, is absolutely stunning.

Sexy!

The second one is highly reminiscent of the music video for Carrie’s lead single off her previous album, Play On, the hit single Cowboy Casanova:

And with the director of this music video being Theresa Wingert, the same woman who directed the Cowboy Casanova video, it looks like Carrie’s team is basically revamping the whole Cowboy Casanova cycle with a stronger video, a stronger song and stronger promo.

The pictures give me a good girl/bad girl feel for the video. I have to say, I’m quite excited.

The first sneak peek of Good Girl is at the 0:55 to 1:02 mark:

Carrie Underwood Reveals 4th Album Title & Cover Art: Blown Away

After releasing her first single off the album, Good Girl (lyrics & review), to deafening success, Carrie Underwood has released the cover and title of her 4th album to fans.

On her official website, she had a succession of reveals which will ultimately gave away the title and cover of the album. The cover, has a darker theme than her previous album covers going on for it – as well as full display of Carrie’s legs. I think she knows we love them.

The cover has a yellow brick road, conveying a Wizard of Oz theme. With Carrie standing on the side, with a very fierce look on her face. I’m not the biggest fan of the look, to be honest. But the whole cover, with its artistic leanings and ferocity, is bold. And it works. It also contrasts greatly with the cover of Carrie’s first album, Some Hearts, in which she was standing in a field of flowers, the sun shining and her smiling. Well, it looks like Carrie Underwood is no longer in Kansas, ladies and gentlemen, or Oklahoma for that matter. And she knows it. She’s also flaunting it.

As for the title, after hinting it’s a two word title and giving her fans a chance at guessing it, most of the guesses being shot down almost immediately,one guess, however, turned out to be correct – and consistent with the Wizard of Oz theme: Blown Away.

Blown Away is the title of a song registered at ASCAP. It’s written by Josh Kear and Chris Tompkins, the writers who brought the world Before He Cheats.

What do you think of the album title and cover?

I’d give them an 8/10
