Faith is the latest Amazon Music Breakthrough Artist
Rising Nashville star Carter Faith shares her rendition of Addison Rae’s “Fame Is A Gun,” as part of Amazon Music’s Amazon Originals series. Faith debuted the cover on the Grand Ole Opry on Tuesday (Oct 21st) during the Opry Country Heat Takeover.
“I had so much fun recording Addison Rae’s ‘Fame is a Gun’ with my producer Tofer Brown and my amazing band,” says Faith. “I really wanted to find a song that I loved and could put my own spin on. Addison’s album has been on repeat for me since it came out, so it was a no-brainer to cover one of her songs. I love artists with a unique vision that is exciting to follow and watch unfold. She’s got that, and I’m such a fan! I hope she loves our version.”
Alongside the release, Amazon Music unveiled Carter as their latest Breakthrough Artist.
The accolade continues a breakout year for Carter, who shared her highly anticipated debut album, Cherry Valley, earlier this month via Gatsby Records/MCA. Cherry Valley 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. The album synthesizes all that into a signature Carter Faith sound.
She’s also announced her forthcoming acting debut in Netflix’s film Heartland, starring alongside Academy Award-winner Jessica Chastain.
