Faith unveils new song, features Krauss

Friday, June 14, 2024 – Carter Faith unveils a new song today, "Blue Bird," featuring background vocals by Alison Krauss.

Faith, who just signed a record deal with Universal Music Group, co-wrote the song with Tofer Brown (Elle King, Walker Hayes, Lady A) and Lauren Hungate (Lily Rose, Cam, Lori McKenna.

"I wrote this song from a very heartbroken place with my friends Lauren Hungate and Tofer Brown in 2022," said Faith. "When Tofer and I recorded it, I was still heartbroken and something that was getting me through was listening to my favorite Alison Krauss record, 'Forget About It.' We had a crazy idea to reach out to her and ask her to sing on the song, and the fact that she said yes and I got to share this song with one of my heroes is seriously so special to me. I hope people can listen to this song and let their tears out, that's what it makes me do."

The North Carolina native recently released "Strong Stuff" and "Late Bloomer."

, Faith will play her 12th show at the Grand Ole Opry on June 20, following a duet with Sam Williams on their cover of Tammy Wynette's classic "Til I Can Make It On My Own" earlier this year as well as her first shows in London and Berlin at Country to Country (C2C).

At the end of last year, she hit the road for a run of U.S. dates with Luke Grimes, 49 Winchester and Wyatt Flores.
