And while itвЂ™s uplifting, hopeful message makes me feel great, I am also extremely upset that it will be at home on a Greatest HitвЂ™s record and not a brand spanking new list of hits from Carrie Underwood. Something In The Water is a stunning single from a stunning vocalist. Not only is it mentioned in the lyrics And now IвЂ™m singing along to Amazing Grace / CanвЂ™t nobody wipe this smile off my face / Got joy in my heart, angels on my side / Thinking about it I saw the light,В but introduced into the song by a stunning backing chorus of singers before Underwood takes over at the end in a version that doesnвЂ™t stray from the original, even though she has the vocal ability to do so. Something In The Water samples Amazing Grace in a moving tribute to one of UnderwoodвЂ™s favourite songs. It falls somewhere close to Ella HendersonвЂ™s Ghost, or Taylor SwiftвЂ™s The Way I Loved You with loads of lyrics and emotion packed into a gorgeous melody with a message, but UnderwoodвЂ™s unrivalled vocal ability elevates this track to the next level. With an almost spoken aspect to the vocal is the verses, building to a huge chorus the song has all the makings of a sure-fire hit. The light Christian country track is an inspirational, up-tempo ballad with a build and vocal so powerful that, religious or not, you canвЂ™t help but be infected by itвЂ™s message. Never one to shy away from her dedication to Christianity, Underwood uses the song to pass on her message of belief, and a feeling that everything is going to be alright. Her intention is clear вЂ“ to portray a story about trusting in and leaning on her faith.

Rather than being a radical change in direction, as many successful country crossover artists seem to be drawn to (a quick nod of total respect to SwiftyвЂ™s classic pop and country-free Shake It Off), Underwood seems to be drawing on her roots, with a sound and message closer to her early work on Jesus Take The Wheel than weвЂ™ve seen ever since. Without the time to promote a new record, itвЂ™s reported execвЂ™s behind the scenes made the choice to go with Greatest Hits: Decade #1 and release only a choice selection of new music, one of those being the new single Something In The Water. A decade later, the country princess is pregnant with her first child, a fact that may explain the two year wait for fans, only to receive a вЂњbest ofвЂќ album. Since then, Underwood has gone on to receive over 95 major accolades, including 6 GrammyвЂ™s, 2 CMT Artist of the Year awards and the 2014 Billboard Milestone award. It was the track that made a superstar and catapulted Underwood from country songstress to worldwide phenomenon. It even reached number 4 on CMTвЂ™s 40 Greatest Songs Of The Decade.

The song spent 6 weeks at number 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and was certified 2x platinum by April 2006. She rode the idol wave better than anyone, all the way to her smash hit single Jesus Take The Wheel. I am forced to admit that I remember it well, the gorgeous blonde Oklahoma native who took the world by storm with her girl next door attitude and powerhouse voice. On the other, I am faced with the unsettling fact that it has been almost 10 years since Carrie Underwood was crowned winner of American Idol 2005. On one hand, as a Carrie Underwood fan, IвЂ™m so excited to be given the chance to review the new single from her upcoming album, Greatest Hits: Decade #1.

Carrie underwood something in the water
