After she began writing songs at 16, Carter Faith followed the path of many aspiring young country musicians before her and left North Carolina behind for Nashville. In just a few years, Faith had caught the attention of seasoned professionals and industry tastemakers alike, soon accumulating hundreds of millions of global streams with just a pair of EPs and a series of singles. Her early career was a whirlwind of high-profile collaborations and tours with the likes of Little Big Town, Shaboozey, EllaLangley, Keith Urban, Willie Nelson, and many more, plus accolades like features on All Country News’ Artists to Watch list for 2025 and CMT’s Next Women of Country campaign. Billboard has lauded Faith’s vocals for “exuding fragility with a smoky resonance,” while The Tennessean has praised Faith’s embodiment of “the center square of the puzzle that country, folk and rock synergy has timelessly inspired.” 



After signing with MCA and Universal Music Publishing Group, Faith began recording her long-awaited debut album Cherry Valley. The result of years writing with mentor and producer Tofer Brown, Cherry Valley looks back to some of Faith’s formative influences — Tammy Wynette, Nancy Sinatra, iconic ‘60s classic rock albums like Pet Sounds and Revolver — to realize the “cowgirl hippie and sometimes a bit trippy” aesthetic Faith’s been chasing all along. Across 15 tracks, Cherry Valley is both cinematic and deeply personal, featuring a narrative rich with details as Faith documents the travails of loss and heartbreak as youth tumbles into adulthood. With singles as varied as the sly “Grudge” or the gut-wrenching “If I Had Never Lost My Mind…,” Cherry Valley proves Faith is already a young master of the form, putting her own twist on classic country narratives with a sound that is both modern and timeless.
