After co-writing three of the hit singles off her Carnival Ride album, plus “Crazy Dreams,” it’s no wonder Carrie Underwood wants to get in on a little more songwriting action for her next album. And not just because of the royalties. Having songwriting cred earns you some more respect in the music industry and probably makes you feel a little more emotionally connected to the songs you’re singing. Plus, she told reporters she’s “getting more comfortable” with her writing abilities and that she’s not one of those people who has to write every song. I think that’s the perfect attitude going into a new album. Write a few, buy a few. If that’s the formula that worked to make her last album go platinum twice, I doubt anyone on Team Carrie would want to mess with that.
