Carrie Underwood has been on the country music scene since she won American Idol in season four. She’s had her moments in the Country Music Awards, and she’s certainly developed a certain music style over the years. Her most recent album, Blown Away,which was released May 1, 2012, has a dark, sinister twist to a majority of the songs. Underwood co wrote eight of the fourteen songs on the album.
Blown Away, produced by Mark Bright is a completely different album then her last album, Play On,produced by Mark Bright, Max Martin, and Shellback, which featured songs such as "Undo It", "Mama's Song", "Temporary Home", and "Cowboy Casanova". The writing styles are quite different in the two albums.

Good Girl, the first track on the album is a song about a girl who’s in love with a man, but he’s no good for her. The message is strong and simple. Don’t settle for a man that doesn’t love you. It’s upbeat, and a great first track to hook the listener.
Blown Away, the song that the album is named after, is very powerful. The song’s message really speaks to the listener and it’s just a great song to listen to when you want to get away. It’s got a catchy tune that makes you want to bob your head to the beat. It’s about a girl who’s father is a drunk, and her mother is dead, and she wants her life erased. She wants her father out of her life, because he beats her.
Two Black Cadillacs, another amazing song by Underwood, is a great song with a dark message of secret and cheating. The song itself is quite stunning, but the lyrics make a great story.
The album as a whole is a great new release by Carrie Underwood. She really makes up for the big gap in between releases, since her last album was released in 2009. The album is great for any occasion. Any country music lover will fall in love with this new album.
