Music evolves a lot, from the time it’s written to the time you hear it on the radio. It happens to each song, and every artist…even Carrie Underwood. Carrie will tell you, whether she wrote the song herself, or was handed a demo of a song, it can change…like her latest hit “Dirty Laundry.” Carrie remembers recording the song’s background vocals, with one of “Dirty Laundry”‘s writers, Hillary Lindsey, and the process of how it changed, “We just kind of got in the studio, and we’re playing around with background vocals and it ended up sounding really cool, and haunting.” Of course Carrie says that while there was a great starting point for the song, she admits “I haven’t listened to the demo version in a long time so I bet if I went back and listened to it now, I’d be like ‘oh, my gosh, so much is different.” You can hear the final version of “Dirty Laundry” straight from Carrie herself while she’s on her Storyteller tour…to see if it’s coming to your neck of the woods, head to Carrie Underwood Official dot com, or just click right HERE

  Carrie Underwood talks about the evolution of her current single “Dirty Laundry.” (:48)
“‘Dirty laundry’ did evolve a bit in the recording process from the demo. Nowadays, we’re so lucky because we get demos, it’s so easy to make great music on your computer at home, and some of these writers and stuff are so so so good at making demos. There’s a wonderful template to work of, but I feel like a lot of the background vocals especially changed, because Hillary and I just kinda got in there we were just playing around, Hillary Lindsey, one of the writers…sorry. (laugh) We just kind of got in the studio, and we’re playing around with background vocals and it ended up sounding really cool, and haunting. I haven’t listened to the demo version in a long time so I bet if I went back and listened to it now, I’d be like ‘oh, my gosh, so much is different.’ But we had a lot of great stuff to work off initially.”
