Multi-platinum, eight-time GRAMMY Award winner Carrie Underwood will release her new highly anticipated album, Denim & Rhinestones, on June 10, 2022. 

Underwood says, “We cover a lot of ground on this album. We have a lot of songs that have a bit of a ‘throwback’ feel, but they sound super fresh.  I grew up listening to so many different kinds of music and that is extremely evident in this body of work. These are musical influences that are all in me and work their way out, and I just decided this time not to get in their way. I think this whole album ended up being a big reflection of me as a person and as an artist… I was just ready to have fun and to write songs that make me happy to listen to and happy to sing.”

Underwood co-wrote 11 of the 12 tracks on Denim & Rhinestones with many of her frequent collaborators such as David Garcia, Hillary Lindsey, Josh Miller, Ashley Gorley, Josh Kear, and Chris DeStefano, who have written many of Underwood’s biggest hits. She also welcomes more recent co-writers on the album, including Michael Hardy and Lydia Vaughan, the latter of whom co-wrote If I Didn’t Love You, Underwood’s multi-week #1 smash hit duet with Jason Aldean

The album also features her current single, Ghost Story as well as the title track, Denim & Rhinestones. The upbeat track was written by Underwood, David Garcia, Josh Kear, and Hillary Lindsey, and co-produced by Garcia and Underwood. 

Underwood says, “The song Denim & Rhinestones is super fun, with a bit of a retro vibe – we just go together, like a sweet tea and a lemon, like denim and rhinestones. You have these things that are great on their own and then you put them together and they just fit. That’s how this album feels.”
