Cry Pretty

Carrie Underwood

A pivot toward soulful vulnerability and R&B-inflected production. High-gloss country that trades revenge anthems for internal emotional wreckage.

September 14, 2018 · Capitol Records Nashville

Find on Amazon

A sophisticated blend of high-drama catharsis and weary, soulful introspection.

Moments Worth Listening For
The vocal crack and subsequent power-belt during the final chorus of the title track.
The smoky, jazz-influenced guitar lick that opens Drinking Alone, signaling a shift in genre.
The stark, rhythmic delivery of the verses in Backsliding that mimics the hesitation of the lyrics.
