Carter Faith has released brand new song ‘Bar Star', which is available to stream and download now.
The track is the latest offering from Faith's upcoming debut album ‘Cherry Valley‘, which will be released on 3rd October 2025 via MCA. You can pre-order/pre-save it now and watch the visualiser below:
“‘Bar Star’ is a fun song about a lovable honky-tonk man” says Faith. “In simple terms, he’s the star of the bar—for better or for worse—but damnit, she loves him.”
Carter has also unveiled a surprise bonus track, ‘Billy Bob Thornton (Worktape)' today alongside the new single.
“I wrote this song about Billy Bob Thornton because I literally love him” explained Carter. “I’ve always thought he was so talented, and I’ve wanted to marry many of the characters he’s played over the years. I just had to write about it, and I hope people like this little glimpse into my one-track mind.”
‘Bar Star' follows previous releases ‘If I Had Never Lost My Mind…', ‘Grudge' and ‘Sex, Drugs and Country Music'. The tracks followed on from Faith's ‘The Aftermath' EP, which was released last autumn.
‘Cherry Valley' is a document of Faith’s time in Nashville, working chronologically through her breakout successes and gut-punching breakups, new loves and family dustups. It’s named for an imagined place, a road sign Carter once saw that came to signify her creative home, a sweet spot where her old school influences like Tammy Wynette, Nancy Sinatra, Pet Sounds and Revolver meet today’s country. The album synthesises all that into a signature Carter Faith sound.
Faith is back on the road with Little Big Town through August. She’ll join Noah Cyrus in September and finish off the year supporting Marcus King and Kelsea Ballerini this winter.
