I just really want Carrie to have an interest in her music career again. Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like it doesn’t excite her very much anymore. Maybe I can understand that, because it does seem like a lot of artists - both pop and country- do often stop making music eventually or venture into other fields such as acting. But as a fan, I can definitely tell she doesn’t seem as excited anymore and the D&R era was so quiet/kind of boring. Even the Cry Pretty era, was a ton of fun.
I would like to hope Carrie is taking this time to enjoy her garden before planning an era with a ton of events, promo, and great music. But I’m worried that won’t happen. If nothing more, I want a change for her next album. No more David Garcia, and a less autotuned/pop album. Because looking back, I feel Cry Pretty/D&R sound really similar, and a third album like that would just be “meh”. I’d like her to go back to her old sound, of songs like Last Name or Cowboy Casanova, etc. But if she doesn’t, a more country sounding album like Storyteller (which connected SO well with the general public) would be really appreciated.
