Carrie Underwood Reveals ‘My Savior’ Tracklisting — Including a Duet
Carrie Underwood's new gospel album will feature 13 songs, including many already familiar to country music audiences. My Savior also includes a duet with a legend in the genre.
CeCe Winans will join Underwood on "Great Is Thy Faithfulness," a traditional Christian song. The country singer's second-straight side project will begin with an instrumental and also include songs like "How Great Thou Art," "The Old Rugged Cross" and "Softly and Tenderly" before closing with her version of "Amazing Grace." The full tracklisting is below. David Garcia produced the album.
"For this album, I chose some of the familiar hymns I've been singing for as long as I can remember," Underwood says on social media. "These songs set the foundation for me and I hope you love them as much as I do."
Look for Underwood's My Savior to be available on March 26. It's the followup, and in some ways, the companion album to My Gift, her Christmas album from last fall.
"I basically didn’t want all of that to end," Underwood said of the music-making process last year. "I felt like my soul was in such a great place, I wanted to keep making music like the music off of My Gift."
Reba McEntire recorded a memorable version of "Softly and Tenderly" for her 2017 Sing It Now: Songs of Faith and Hope album, an album that would earn her a Grammy in the Best Roots Gospel Album category. Kelly Clarkson and Trisha Yearwood joined McEntire for the song, a signature moment on the expansive project.
My Savior is Underwood's eighth studio album. It's been three years since her last country album, as well, and many expect news of that project to come in 2021, although the singer has only teased that may be the case. Of course, this project isn't the first time she's recorded Christian or gospel music. Songs like "Something in the Water" are staples at her live shows and among the best in her catalog.
