Carrie Underwood‘s new album “Cry Pretty” hit shelves this month and is already receiving rave reviews, including her politically charged single “Love Wins,” which received a music video this past month. The singer has also scheduled a spring tour for fans that want to hear her new music live! Underwood also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this past month, so congratulations to her for that!
Last month we announced that Season 10 rocker James Durbin is giving fans a chance to hear his fourth studio album, Homeland, early when they pre-order it on PledgeMusic. Fans can also receive some pretty cool swag with their pre-order. Also from Season 10 is Haley Reinhart, who is releasing a cover of Nina Simone’s classic “My Baby Just Cares For Me” with actor Jeff Goldblum.
Season 8 rocker Allison Iraheta also dropped a music video with her band Halo Circus for their new single “Oh Money“. The song is a scathing rock anthem which comes from their album Robots and Wranglers, released this past March.
