Carly Pearce To Release Fifth Studio Album Honest Woman On August 28
GRAMMY, CMA and ACM-Award winning country star Carly Pearce announces her highly anticipated fifth studio album, Honest Woman, will arrive August 28 via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. Pre-order, pre-add, and pre-save the album HERE and find the full track list below, including new track “She Don’t” which dropped today alongside the album announcement. Available now on all platforms, the song further highlights Carly’s witty lyricism and love of storytelling with her traditional country sensibilities for a sure-to-be fan favorite.
Co-produced by Pearce with longtime collaborator Ben West, Honest Woman sees Pearce embrace every aspect of who she was, is, and will become through narrative-driven lyrics and a sonic return to form. Including features with Riley Green, Dan Tyminski and Molly Tuttle, the album leans into her bluegrass roots and focuses on authentic country craftsmanship. Honest Woman is an ‘honest’ portrayal of life’s journey delivered by a woman who understands that it’s the fullness of time that defines you.
"When I started making Honest Woman, I found myself rediscovering who I am and why I wanted to be a country music singer in the first place,” says Pearce. “This album takes me back to the beginning of my story, where the sounds of classic country and bluegrass music shaped who I am. I’m so proud of this body of work, and I truly feel like it’s my best yet.”
Anticipation was at an all-time high during CMA Fest as the phrase “Honest Woman” was seen in various places around Nashville – from her “Carly’s Closet” charity pop-up that raised $20,000 for the CMA Foundation, to the sidewalks outside her CMA Artist of the Day panel moderated by Hillary Scott of Lady A and performances at Nissan Stadium, Billboard Live at Category 10, SiriusXM’s Music Row Happy Hour and Spotify House – leading Pearce’s fans to speculate if Honest Woman was the title of her forthcoming album.
In addition to today’s release, “She Don’t,” Pearce’s forthcoming album will include current single and “blockbuster duet” (Billboard) with Riley Green, “If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay,” along with the “delightfully snarky & sassy” (Music Row) “You Can Have Him,” “honest anthem” (Rolling Stone) “Church Girl” and the “unfiltered, introspective” (Billboard) “Dream Come True.” As Pearce is readying Honest Woman, each track continues to define “the tone for her most vulnerable era yet” (The Tennessean).
