Review
Carrie Underwood's 'Storyteller' is a real treat for country music lovers. Released in 2015, this album shows off Carrie's amazing range and talent, blending traditional country vibes with a modern twist that's sure to get your toes tapping. It's hard to believe it's been a whole decade since she first wowed us on 'American Idol', but this album proves she's only gotten better with time.
From the moment you hit play on the opening track 'Renegade Runaway', you're in for a wild ride. The lead single 'Smoke Break' is an absolute banger that'll have you singing along in no time. But it's not all high-energy tracks - Carrie shows her softer side too, especially in songs like 'The Girl You Think I Am' and 'What I Never Knew I Always Wanted'. These tunes give us a peek into her life as a wife and mom, and they're beautifully sung.
'Storyteller' was a massive hit, both with critics and fans. It shot to the top of the country charts and earned Carrie her fifth consecutive album to debut at number one or two on the Billboard 200. That's no small feat! The album went Platinum in 2016, which just goes to show how much people loved it. Whether you're a die-hard Carrie fan or just dipping your toes into country music, 'Storyteller' is definitely worth a listen. - Hazel
