New Carrie On The Way - Highway 16

Yeah, so... they released the single an hour or so ago, and we're getting slammed by Carrie fans. It's loading into the system - Jay Thomas will have it on his show after the top of the hour. Hold tight!

PRESS RELEASE:
Carrie Underwood’s New Single, “So Small,” Hits Country Radio Today!

Track Is the First from Her Upcoming October 23 Release, the Follow-Up to Her Six-Million-Selling ACM Album of the Year, Some Hearts

Nashville, TN – Two-time GRAMMY winner and reigning CMA and ACM Female Vocalist Carrie Underwood has new music at country radio today, with the delivery of “So Small,” the first single from her upcoming album, releasing October 23. The song was co-written by Carrie with Luke Laird and GRAMMY-winning songwriter Hillary Lindsey (who co-wrote three tracks on Carrie’s debut disc, including the chart-topping “Wasted” and “Jesus, Take the Wheel”).

Of the new single, Carrie reflects, “‘So Small’ is a feeling song on how people invest so much of their time and energy into things that aren’t really important. And you don’t really realize that until it’s too late.”

After co-writing one song on her six-million-selling 19 Recordings/Arista Records/Arista Nashville debut disc, Some Hearts, “So Small” marks the first of several Carrie co-writes to be included on her upcoming album, and its message is one she feels can hit home with everyone, including herself.

“And we’re all guilty of it, as I know I am, of just letting silly things get in the way. The smallest thing can almost ruin my day, and at some point I realize, ‘Good gracious, Carrie! What are you doing?’ I have a great life, and we need to remember the things that are truly important.”

Underwood’s to-be-titled new disc reunites her with producer Mark Bright, who helmed seven tracks on Some Hearts.

Yeah... that's the hard part. Figuring out if people are actually listening, or just a street team hard at work.

Don't worry J, people are actually listening. We're desperate to hear the studio version! Highway 16 beats an online stream every day. I know I'm tuned in!
