“Something in the Water,” the new single tacked onto Carrie Underwood’s 2014 compilation Greatest Hits: Decade #1, was an operatic blowout on par with her 2012 smash “Blown Away” — something grand and melodramatic, suggesting Vegas as much as it suggested inspirational music. Storyteller, her fifth album and first since her career recap, certainly contains cinematic elements — Underwood has been proud to be a diva ever since she prowled the stages of American Idol a decade prior — but the title isn’t a feint; she spends a good chunk of the album reiterating, singing about heartbreak, hair triggers, red wine, dirty laundry, and smoke breaks, the mundane details that turn life so joyous and tragic. Subtlety isn’t Underwood’s strong suit so the songs tend to be a bit on the nose, whether she’s pledging devotion to her newborn son on the sweet closer “What I Never Knew I Always Wanted” or streamlining Bobbie Gentry’s “Ode to Billy Joe” via the stomping “Choctaw County Affair,” but that directness is key to her appeal: there are no greys in Carrie’s music, only blazing primary colors. Appropriately enough, Storyteller gleams with steely assurance, perhaps the toughest and boldest record yet but one that hardly soft-pedals her softer side. Carrie isn’t an unapologetic spitfire like her “Something Bad” duet partner Miranda Lambert. She is, as she says in her album title, a Storyteller, and there’s an unmistakable distance between her theatrics and the subjects of her tunes; she isn’t living these songs, she’s performing them. Like a skilled actor, Underwood chooses her roles wisely — she’s comfortable swaggering through the leadoff pair of “Renegade Runaway” and “Dirty Laundry,” while she eases into the comforting melancholy of “The Girl You Think I Am” — and she knows how to deliver the essence of each song, modulating her performances not only so they match the grand productions of Jay Joyce, Mark Bright, and Zach Crowell but so they always are the focal point. That’s no small feat and Storyteller is no small album: it demands attention and it deserves it, too.

Carrie Underwood – Some Hearts (2005)

Grammy-winning American Idol champ’s 1985 album debut

Oklahoma native Carrie Underwood got Nashville’s attention in an unusual way — by winning the TV talent show American Idol — but her 2005 debut is state-of-the-art mainstream Music City product.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that, writes Country Weekly, not when it’s this vibrant, heartfelt and energetic. A belter in the Martina McBride mold, Carrie wisely chose songs appropriate to her age (then 22), focusing on stories of young people leaving home to chase their dreams and make their own mistakes. She makes a few of those mistakes here, but by and large Some Hearts is a heartening debut.

Carrie Underwood has long been America’s country-pop sweetheart, belting playful revenge anthems and hear-me-roar power ballads. But her sixth album brings a shift in tone: Topical and contemplative, it represents a period of personal change (at 35, she’s a new mom and expecting her second child), and comes at a moment so politically fraught that even traditionally conservative country megastars are daring to ask tough questions. There’s urgency in songs like “The Bullet” and “Love Wins” (detailing the emotional wreckage of shootings and the importance of gay rights, respectively), and courageous reflections on private battles in “Drinking Alone” and “Spinning Bottles.” The title track draws a hard line between vulnerability and weakness. “Falling apart is as human as it gets,” she sings. On any other album, the party songs (“Southbound”) and hip-hop collaborations (“The Champion,” featuring Ludacris) would steal the spotlight, but here they’re simply outshined. Thirteen years after her American Idol debut, we’re finally getting to know the woman behind the mic.

Anyone who predicted that Carrie Underwood’s second album would start with a sugary radio song might be surprised by the sultry, sassy, country-rocking “Flat On The Floor.” But not to worry, pop fans — “All-American Girl” is a soaring, triumphant song that sounds like a hot hit, fresh off Music City’s grill, and the moving and romantic “Wheel of the World” is chick-flick soundtrack friendly. As a singer (and co-writer of three songs), Underwood really comes into her own onCarnival Ride, reminding country music fans why she was the first countrified American Idol and usurper of Faith Hill’s throne.

Known for her faith (“Jesus, Take the Wheel,” 2021’s My Savior), fire (“Before He Cheats”), and fearlessness (“Two Black Cadillacs”), Carrie Underwood has said her ninth album is her “fun” record . . . and she delivers. Denim & Rhinestones is pure country pop—for the most part, the country here is Underwood’s twang—that you can imagine an arena full of people singing along to. Since her American Idol win in 2005, Underwood has always been polished, no raw edge showing. Her talents are almost inhuman; so big and perfect is her voice, it can sometimes overwhelm. But that belting is put to delightful effect here for the title track, which is kissed with smooth ’80s R&B flavor. “Crazy Angels,” meanwhile, embraces that era’s pop-rock radio hits: It’s super-sized and catchy, with slick guitar and anthemic lyrics meant for hollering along: “Yes, I’m one of those crazy angels/ Tilted halo with a neon shine/ Call me one of those crazy angels/ Even good girls wanna have a good time/ Heaven knows I’m flying low tonight.” Underwood borrows a classic-rock guitar line and unleashes the full power of her soprano on “Poor Everybody Else,” and goes for Miranda Lambert-style mischievous playfulness on “Velvet Heartbreak.” She haunts an ex-love on the sweeping grand drama of “Ghost Story” (“There ain’t enough whiskey for you not to miss me/ I’ll be waiting at the bottom of the bottle in the dark”), and it’s easy to imagine it being a pop crossover hit with a little production trickery. “Wanted Woman,” though, doesn’t even need that; it’s ready to be a summer pop hit with the right airplay. “Hate My Heart”—one of the album’s nine co-writes with Hillary Lindsey, who easily ranks among Nashville’s best contemporary songwriters (Keith Urban’s “Blue Ain’t Your Color,” Little Big Town’s “Girl Crush”)—meanwhile, is ready for an arena stage. It also shows that, while Underwood may worship Dolly, her vocal power is the spiritual descendent of Shania. Shameless slow-burn guitar and the sweeping chimes of Top 40 R&B dress up the soulful love ballad “Faster,” and a doo-wop beat drives “Pink Champagne.” And traditional country gets its due near the end of the album with “She Don’t Know”—although even that turns the classic cheating song on its head: “Joke’s on her and that bed she’s lying in,” Underwood sasses. “What she don’t know is, she can have him!” – Shelly Ridenour
