Denim & Rhinestones is Underwood's most self-authored album: she co-wrote eleven of the twelve tracks and co-produced the record with David Garcia. The arc of her career runs straight through this album, from interpreter on her debut to near-total author and producer here. The sound is upbeat, glossy country pop built around her own writing.
"Denim & Rhinestones" is the 2022 ninth studio album by Carrie Underwood, a country pop record she co-produced with David Garcia, who also served as primary producer and co-writer. The album produced the singles "Ghost Story," "Hate My Heart," and "Out of That Truck," with "Ghost Story" reaching number 6 on Country Airplay, and featured co-writing from Hillary Lindsey, Josh Kear, and Michael Hardy. It reached number 10 on the Billboard 200 and number 2 on Top Country Albums, while topping the country albums charts in the United Kingdom and Australia. Underwood co-wrote 11 of the 12 tracks on the standard edition. The album marked her return to country pop following the holiday set "My Gift" and the gospel record "My Savior," with critics noting its blend of synth-pop, soul, and country production.
