Last week, Carrie Underwood posted a picture of herself in the studio to social media, which could only mean one thing, right? New music was coming!

Then on Monday, after a weekend of celebrating her birthday, she gave us the gift of the official announcement that she would be releasing a new song on Friday. That song is "Ghost Story", which Carrie describes as "a different take on a revenge song" in a press release. "Instead of smashing headlights, this scorned lover is letting her ex know that she will continue to haunt him no matter how hard he tries to forget her.”

Jimmie Allen shared a little bit of his new single "Down Home" to Instagram last week and just that much was just enough to tell you how moving and beautiful this song is. Jimmie performed it last night for the first time at the ACM Awards, which he also co-hosted. "Down Home" is a tribute to his late father and is the lead single from his upcoming third album. In the song, Jimmie reminiscences, but also tells his father about everything that has been going on with him. 

Caitlyn Smith took to social media yesterday to announce that her next single will be "Downtown Baby", and announced an upcoming album High due out on April 8th!
