A Review of Carrie Underwood's Some Hearts Album

Carrie Underwood has won the American Idol on its fourth season. As Simon Cowell predicted, she will sell albums. Although she is not as famous as Kelly Clarkson, she is already on her way there. Some people were asking, would Carrie Underwood land a recording contract if she has not won the American Idol? Well probably yes! Carrie has good looks and a big voice of an Oklahoman. Moreover, this girl has that genuine passion in all her performances; these qualities have helped her reach out to her fans.

Carrie's debut album entitled Some Hearts under Artista Record offers an authentic country music. This album will appeal to those who love Underwood. It features slick production, driving guitars and Carrie singing to a high E.

Album Review: The album has fourteen tracks. "Wasted" which is the opening track, can grab the attention of the listeners with her pure register and a well written collection. The second track, which is "Don't Forget to Remember Me", is not a bad track though it reduces the heightened energy made by "Wasted". Some Hearts album was drawn back into full turn by the touching single "Jesus Take the Wheel", which is accompanied by electric guitar arrangement, stunning piano and string. "Before He Cheats" made use of some grit in Carrie's pure voice and mixed sound with a bluesy production. The selections "I Ain't in Checotah No More" and "Whenever You Remember" are also noteworthy. "Starts with Goodbye" and "We're Young and Beautiful" also give important impact to the album.

Overall: I don't like and love country music, thus this is not the right music for me; nonetheless, I and the other listeners can and will still enjoy the album. The advantages are the variations on some songs; it is enjoyable to hear some country songs and pop music mixed together. Another advantage is Carrie Underwood's ability to hit high notes and lastly, the album has guitars, strings, piano, in other words, it has a deep instrumental that makes every track full.
