Carrie Underwood confirmed that her new album will be called Carnival Ride. We didn't know officially until today, it had just been rumors. She explained the reasoning for the album title:

“You step onto this ride called life, and it’s a crazy thing you don’t know anything about, but you get on it anyway. You do what you can to lean different directions to try and get it to go where you want it to go, but you can't stop it – it just keeps moving. That's why Carnival Ride works as my album title, because it describes the wonderful craziness that I've been through over the past couple years"

Album Cover:




Also, the video for "So Small" has been shot and will be premiering sometime soon...

judging from "So Small" i believe this album will be a clone of her last.

lol, I like this, but both the lead single and the album cover make her seem older than she really is.

some hearts pt. 2, another success, why change a winning concept?

worst album title tho

what the heck does this cover have to do with a carnival ride??? instead of showing herself off, put a carousel or something on it for pete's sake.

I like.

its good to try something different *coughmydecember*. IMO carrie underwood is a bit... cheesy. stop with the saint image and break outta the comfort zone.

this is why you should always read whats in bold

you answered yourself, she´ll drop drastically in sales then, esp since countryfans are her most important base....remember garth brooks when he tried to go goth?...ROFL

i did. or were you being sarcastic?

stfu Chris Gaines = :heart:
haha yeah your right actually her last album sold what 6m? apart form BHC i never heard any of the songs on the radio so thats pretty big country fanbase. Im just saying i like when artist try new things i get tried of the usual fast

mm then u should understand why its called carnival ride.. she's using a "carnival ride" as a metaphor to describe her life during the past years i guess?

yeah. and i thought that she could make the metaphor into a visual display. not just display herself. that's what i would do.

oic well... =/

the cynical business mind in me disagree, the heart within me agree

I kind of like it!

But I prefer her Some Hearts cover

The album title makes sense now, and it's fine.

She is HOT! <3

That cover is beautiful!!! The only problem I have is that her expression just looks incredibly vacant.

i am really so excited about this album!!!

But looking vacant is par for the course for her o.o

Do sorta like the cover, although it looks really photoshopped.
