Some Hearts is the debut studio album by American singer and songwriter Carrie Underwood. It was released on November 15, 2005, by Arista Nashville. The album was recorded shortly after Underwood's win on American Idol and marked her transition from television fame to mainstream country music. Blending contemporary country and pop influences, Some Hearts features production from Mark Bright and Dann Huff. It includes the singles "Jesus, Take the Wheel", "Don't Forget to Remember Me", "Before He Cheats", "Wasted", and the title track. Songs such as "Jesus, Take the Wheel" and "Before He Cheats" became major crossover hits, with the latter becoming one of the best-selling country singles of all time.

Upon release, the album received generally positive reviews, with critics praising Underwood's vocal performance while noting its polished production. It was a commercial success, debuting at number two on the Billboard 200 and topping the Top Country Albums chart, where it became the best-selling country album of both 2006 and 2007. Some Hearts earned Underwood multiple awards, including the Grammy Award for Best New Artist and Album of the Year at the Academy of Country Music Awards. Certified nine times Platinum by the RIAA, it remains the best-selling debut album by a solo female country artist and one of the most successful country albums of the 2000s.

Background and development

Underwood co-wrote "Jesus, Take the Wheel" with Brett James.

About the song "Jesus, Take the Wheel", co-writer Brett James said it was written at Hillary Lindsey's house, with the original title being "When Jesus Takes the Wheel", and that there was no specific artist in mind to record the song.[1] In 2016, singer Hillary Scott said she was initially offered the song while Underwood was on American Idol.[2] Following her win, Underwood traveled back to her home in Oklahoma before heading again to Los Angeles for the American Idols Live tour rehearsals.[3] At the time, Underwood told People, "This is my time to see the world. Home will be there when I get back." She later bought her first home in the Nashville suburb of Franklin, Tennessee in November 2005 before selling it in 2007.[4] Billboard article from October 2005 first announced the name of the debut album, but mentioned "I Ain't in Checotah Anymore" and "What Else You Got" as tracks, with the latter being cut from the finished record.[5] According to co-writer Chris Tompkins, the song "Before He Cheats" was written in two hours at his home, and was initially meant for Gretchen Wilson's second album, with a more humorous delivery, until Underwood recorded it.[6] Recording of the album took place in three months, while Underwood was touring, and she met with writers such as Hillary Lindsey and Rivers Rutherford at Karian Studios during a writing session.[7]

The first single from the album, "Jesus, Take the Wheel", was No. 1 on Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for six consecutive weeks[10][11] and reached No. 20 on Billboard Hot 100.[12] Included in CMT's 40 Greatest Songs of the Decade at number 4,[13] "Jesus, Take the Wheel" was reported to have been sold more than 1 million ringtones and was certified Platinum in August 2008, the first achievement by a country artist for two Platinum Mastertone ranked songs.[14] As of February 2016, it has sold 2,473,000 copies in the United States and has been certified 3× Platinum by the RIAA.[15] "Some Hearts", written by Diane Warren and originally recorded by Marshall Crenshaw in 1989, was released to pop and adult contemporary radio only[16] and eventually reached number 12 on the Adult Contemporary chart.[17] As of June 2011, it has sold 207,000 copies.[18]

Critical reception

Template:Album ratings

The album received mixed reviews from music critics, with most of them criticizing the slick production and lyrical content.

Penny Rondinella of About.com gave a positive review to the album, awarding it with a four-and-a-half stars out of five and said: "American Idol Season 4 winner Carrie Underwood's debut album is just as expected, a country feel with some pop added to it. Lots of variety in her vocals, which tells me she has true talent."[31] AllMusic gave it 4 out of 5 stars and classified the album as "as anthemic country pop", suited for both country and adult contemporary radio, noting that Underwood's debut effectively captured this balance and showcased her strong vocal performance. It further stated that Underwood delivered a convincing performance across different styles, sounding equally at ease on emotional tracks like "Jesus, Take the Wheel" and the soaring pop-driven "Some Hearts," while bringing a passionate edge to "Before He Cheats."[32] USA Today wrote that Underwood "understands the difference between vocal pyrotechnics and genuine interpretation", noting that while Some Hearts includes a few showy pop moments, it also reveals a "refreshing genuineness" and maturity that highlights her growth and potential as an artist.[33]

However, Slant Magazine criticized Some Hearts for lacking originality, arguing that many songs imitate the styles of other country artists, though it acknowledged the album's strong potential for producing multiple hit singles.[34] Digital Spy described Some Hearts as "equal parts soft rock and country", noting that its mandolin and fiddle sounds are often drowned out by surging guitars and drivetime drums. The review characterized the songs as "anthemic and perfect for long, lonely car journeys, blessed with big choruses and bittersweet lyrics," while also remarking that they felt "a bit old-fashioned."[35] In particular, Chris Willman of Entertainment Weekly said: "Among the Idol classes, Carrie Underwood was refreshing—but now that she's going up against country's big girls with the release of Some Hearts, you mostly notice how even the best songs on this slick debut don't stack up against the worst on Sara's or Lee Ann's latest."[36]
