Hot singer Carrie Underwood is coming up with her new album - 'Play On'. Luckily, she viewed the writing and recording process of 'Play On' as a labor of love, rather than just one more thing to check off her huge to-do list. The album will be released Tuesday (Nov.3).
Carrie Underwood is coming with her highly anticipated third album,' Play On'. Underwood's music career has been stated, five years ago since she wins 'American Idol'. She come up with her first two albums, 2005's "Some Hearts" and 2007's "Carnival Ride," she has sold 10 million records, notched 10 No. 1 hits and won four Grammy Awards, along with numerous other industry accolades.
There are large expectations with 'Play On' but the Oklahoma native seems poised to meet them. The album's first single, "Cowboy Casanova" rocketed into the top five in just seven weeks on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.
A cautionary tale about a man "who looks like a cool drink of water, but he is candy-coated misery," it blasted out of the gate with first-week sales of more than 110,000 digital copies.
In 'Play On' Underwood had written seven of the 13 songs, along with fellow Okie Brett James and hip-hop impresario Mike Elizondo.
She added "I hate deadlines, I love projects. I love things that I love to do. If I have a project that I am totally into, and I love it, then I am all about it. I will go above and beyond and do crazy stuff. I was always the kid in class that would bring something that was really extravagant and had way too much effort put into it. Everybody else would do theirs just enough to get an A and I had mine that was like ... awesome."
"I hate saying pop-country - I hate using that"
