Track review: Carrie Underwood's "Undo It"

Venturing back into nitty gritty angry woman territory, country chanteuse Carrie Underwood puts on her game face on “Undo It,” the final pre-release single ahead of the release of her third studio album ‘Play On’ (Nov. 3).

Although it is nothing new for Underwood to undertake this style of music (see “Before He Cheats,” “Last Name,” “Cowboy Casanova”), she is able to conceive a catchy lyric in the form of “I wanna uh uh uh uh uh undo it” with the help of Kara DioGuardi, Martin Frederiksen and Luke Laird. This could very well become Underwood’s very own “Umbrella” (ella, ella, eh, eh, eh).

Despite the fact that “Undo It” is rather short, Underwood is able to get her point across loud and clear to the subject of the song and his “stupid games.” Her vocals are not top-notch here, but what she loses in this department she makes up for it in terms of the song’s catchiness.

The bottom line on “Undo It” is that Carrie Underwood knows how to write and record a fun, feel good tune, and the diversity shown in her ability to shift from tender ballads to out of your seat toe-tappers in the difference of a track or two is a testament to her knack for creating extraordinary music.

"Undo It" is now available to purchase on iTunes ($1.29).
