After she began writing songs at 16, Carter Faith followed the path of many aspiring young country musicians before her and left North Carolina behind for Nashville. In just a few years, Faith had caught the attention of seasoned professionals and industry tastemakers alike, accumulating hundreds of millions of global streams. Her early career was a whirlwind of high-profile collaborations and tours with the likes of Little Big Town, Shaboozey, Ella Langley, Keith Urban, Willie Nelson, and many more, plus accolades like CMT’s Next Women of Country and more than a dozen appearances at the Grand Ole Opry. Billboard has lauded Faith’s vocals for “exuding fragility with a smoky resonance,” while The Tennessean has praised Faith’s embodiment of “the center square of the puzzle that country, folk and rock synergy has timelessly inspired.”

Faith’s debut long-awaited album Cherry Valley is out now on MCA. The result of years writing with mentor and producer Tofer Brown, Cherry Valley looks back to some of Faith’s formative influences — Tammy Wynette, Nancy Sinatra, iconic ‘60s classic rock albums like Pet Sounds and Revolver — to realize trademark Faith’s “cowgirl hippie and sometimes a bit trippy” sound. Across 15 tracks, Cherry Valley is both cinematic and deeply personal, featuring a narrative rich with details as Faith documents the travails of loss and heartbreak as youth tumbles into adulthood. With singles as varied as the sly “Grudge” or the gut-wrenching “If I Had Never Lost My Mind…,” Cherry Valley proves Faith is already a young master of the form, putting her own twist on classic country narratives with a sound that is both modern and timeless.

On the heels of Cherry Valley’s release, Faith has recently completed her debut film role as “Charlie Heart” in Netflix’s HEARTLAND. Directed by Shana Feste, Faith stars alongside Oscar winning actress Jessica Chastain. HEARTLAND is slated for a 2026 release.
