Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Country music star Carrie Underwood’s new album has a title: “Play On.” Check out the cover at left.

A press release issued Monday morning announced the name of the album, scheduled for a Nov. 3 release.

The album is being produced by Mark Bright, the same guy who was at the helm of Carrie’s second album (“Carnival Ride”). He also produced seven of the tracks on her “Some Hearts” debut.

No word on when we’ll hear the first single from Carrie’s new album. An earlier release indicated it could be as early as sometime in September.

Other tidbits of news from the press release: Carrie continues to work on the album. The name comes from one of the songs featured on it.
