It's official, Carrie Underwood, a seven-time Grammy award winner, will debut her new single, Church Bells, with a television performance on the 51st Academy of Country Music Awards this Sunday, April 3 on CBS Television.
Produced by Mark Bright and written by Zach Crowell, Brett James, and Hillary Lindsey, the pop song will ship to country radio on Friday, April 1 and offically impacts on Monday, Aprill 11. Fans have been raving about the epic revenge song that Entertainment Weekly called a "twangy roof-raiser," and ABC News described as combining "some Americana-style banjo-play with a funy swagger." Mark Ronson's Uptown Funk featuring Bruno Mars, anyone? Let's continue.
The pop singer describes Church Bells as one of the most dynamic narratives on her Storyteller album. "I lvoe songs about strong women. I love being sucked into that story: rooting for the woman and seeing that she does something powerful that never thought she could do," the pop star explained. "People are strongest when they're pushed to their limits."
This is the third single from her Gold-certified pop album, Storyteller, which has yielded 2 pop songs which happens to be the 2 top 10 Billboard Country songs chart hit, Smoke Break and Heartbeat. To date, Carrie Underwood has achieved 23 number 1 singles in her country music market, 13 of which she co-wrote.
Carrie Underwood is an eleven-time ACM Female Vocalist of the Year nominee and the first female artist to be twice named the Academy of Country Music's Entertainer of the Year. She is currently performing in sold out arenas across the US and Canada on her smash hit pop tour, The Storyteller Tour - Stories in the Round. The pop superstar will recently returned from Europe where she headlined five shows in five different countries like UK as part of Country 2 Country (C2C).
Wow, talk about country radio gets to play more Carrie Underwood. I wonder how the pop star's third Storyteller single gets to fare well on the country radio. I'm sure Church Bells will do fine. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to see Carrie Underwood performing Church Bells at the Academy of Country Music Awards this Sunday.
We want to see more Carrie Underwood like Heartbeat on pop music as long as her pop songs like Smoke Break would be best suited towars smaller radio stations like country music. Yes, I know. Carrie Underwood is a country singer. Yadda yadda yadda. Come to think of it, Church Bells is the first Carrie Underwood single that contains the word country in the lyrics. This will allow Carrie Underwood's country songs like Something In The Water to be played exclusively to country radio when Carrie Underwood is a crossover country star where her future pop music will be played on pop radio only. This will make Carrie Underwood the country version of Shakira. As long as Carrie Underwood gets to go pop for her crossover appeal, Carrie Underwood will make sure that she will not abandon country. When she makes her first pop album which is a side-project, she will go back to country as soon as pop music gets to remember her and make more pop songs on her country record comeback.
Let's hope Carrie Underwood gets to make her first pop album when she gets to take a break from country so she can be a crossover country act and the world's biggest country star as country will always be the pop singer's signature genre. It would be cool if Carrie Underwood's first pop album will be her sitxh album as well as her first side-project for next year.
Make it happen, Carrie Underwood. Please give us Carrie Underwood's pop music next year after the Storyteller era.
