Info for Cherry Valley

Rising star Carter Faith presents her highly anticipated debut album, Cherry Valley. The album features 15 tracks including, "If I Had Never Lost My Mind..." and "Grudge."

“Cherry Valley means everything to me,” says Carter. “Every time I have slipped into a dark place (which I have a propensity for), this album has brought me out of it. I know that I wrote the songs but they still carry reminders for me every day when I relisten. Some of the songs have even transformed for me and mean something different now. The world of Cherry Valley has been a safe and freeing place for me and everyone who has worked so hard on this record. I have truly created this album with my best friends, which feels surreal. It feels like it belongs to all of us, because it does.”

The songs on Cherry Valley span Carter’s journey from her North Carolina hometown to Nashville, with all the heartbreak, triumph and hazy nights in between. Carter and longtime producer Tofer Brown spent two years crafting tracks for the album before finally entering the studio in 2024 to lay it down. All the while, Carter was working relentlessly to climb the ranks of country music, signing to MCA and Universal Music Publishing Group, gracing the Opry stage a dozen times, sharing stages with idols like Willie Nelson, and racking up hundreds of millions of streams.

The album is a document of Carter’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.

Cherry Valley synthesizes all that into a signature Carter Faith sound. Thus far, she’s shared album tracks “Grudge” and “If I Had Never Lost My Mind…,” which have served to tide fans over since her The Aftermath EP last fall, which featured a duet with Alison Krauss and drew praise from Billboard, The Tennessean, American Songwriter and more.

“[Carter] embodies an ownership of the center square of the puzzle that country, folk and rock synergy has timelessly inspired.” (The Tennessean)

“Faith wears her heart on her breath, exuding fragility with a smoky resonance.” (Billboard)

Carter Faith
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, soon accumulating hundreds of millions of global streams with just a pair of EPs and a series of singles. Her early career was a whirlwind of high-profile collaborations and tours with the likes of Little Big Town, Shaboozey, EllaLangley, Keith Urban, Willie Nelson, and many more, plus accolades like features on All Country News’ Artists to Watch list for 2025 and CMT’s Next Women of Country campaign. 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.” 


After signing with MCA and Universal Music Publishing Group, Faith began recording her long-awaited debut album Cherry Valley. 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 the “cowgirl hippie and sometimes a bit trippy” aesthetic Faith’s been chasing all along. 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.

This album contains no booklet.
