About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Daisy in her hair aside, Carrie Underwood looks flat-out glamorous on the cover of Play On, which is a pretty fair indication of what awaits listeners on her third album. Carrie is still a country artist and sometimes will sing supported by fiddles and steel guitar, but this is crossover pop pure and simple, whether it's the thundering rhythms on the Shania-styled strut "Cowboy Casanova" or the preponderance of power ballads. Many of these ballads are infused with social consciousness -- Carrie decries hunger on "Change" and homelessness on "Temporary Home" -- reminiscent of Idol Gives Back, and they're not the only AmIdol connection here, as Kara DioGuardi co-wrote the sassy "Undo It" and "Mama's Song" with Underwood herself. Carrie takes a much stronger presence as a writer here, co-authoring seven of the 13 songs. Play On particularly shines on the breezy "Quitter" and "This Time," songs built on solid melodies and delivered without flash, relying on craft and Carrie's considerable small-town charm.

So Glad I Have Itby book_luvur

November 05, 2009: Carrie is a great artist. I have both her first two album's, and when I heard she was making a new one, I was so pumped. I got up early on Tuesday the third so I could go pick up Play On before class (I just couldn't wait any longer). Totally worth it! I like her second c.d. better than her first, but there were still a number of songs on there I skip past when I listen to the c.d. So I was a little nervous that there would be a number of songs I wouldn't like on Play On. Not the case!! Most every song I really enjoy. My top favorites are Quitter, Look At Me, and What Can I Say. I listen to them again and again. All of the songs on the album are very original and have great melodies. You can tell they spent a lot of time and energy on this album to make it great. The only songs I don't really care for are Change, This Time, and Play On. This Time, especially, seems kind of like a filler to make the track list run longer. But obviously that's just my personal opinion and other people may love it. So if you were debating whether or not to get this c.d., my recommendation whould be: TOTALLY!!!! It's her best so far.

I Also Recommend: Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Fearless.

November 04, 2009: I'm not really a country fan but I think Play On is a good album. There are a variety of songs in here: slow to fast. The beat is really cool. Each song has its meaning. Just buy it! it's only $10. Before Carrie, I didn't know much country Artists
