CHERRY VALLEY FOREVER: DELUXE VERSION OF CARTER FAITH’S BREAKTHROUGH DEBUT ALBUM SET FOR JULY 24

NEW SONG “AIN’T OVER ME YET” OUT TODAY

CHERRY VALLEY RECEIVES HISTORIC ACM ALBUM OF THE YEAR NOMINATION

“[One] of the best country debuts in recent memory”—Rolling Stone

“[A] masterful collection of songs navigating heartbreak, fresh romance, relational drama and a devotion to country music…the entire project feels like an instant classic.”—Billboard

May 15, 2026—Rising star Carter Faith will release the deluxe version of her acclaimed debut album, Cherry Valley, on July 24 via Gatsby Records/MCA; Pre-order Cherry Valley Forever HERE. Ahead of the release, Carter unveils a new song from the project, “Ain’t Over Me Yet,” today—listen HERE.

Alongside Cherry Valley’s original fifteen songs, Cherry Valley Forever features five additional tracks and arrives on the heels of Carter’s historic ACM Album of the Year nomination for Cherry Valley—the first debut album to earn a nod in the category in a decade, following Chris Stapleton’s Traveller in 2016. Carter also stands as the only female nominated in the category and is set to perform at the show. Last week, she released a cover of Faith Hill’s “Let’s Go To Vegas,” which serves as the official anthem of this year’s ACM Awards.

An electric live performer, Carter will join Post Malone on his extensive U.S. Big Ass Stadium Tour next month and will perform select dates with George Strait and Chris Stapleton before joining Kacey Musgraves and Shaboozey in the fall. See below for complete tour itinerary.

The tour continues a breakout year for Carter on the heels of Cherry Valley. The LP debuted to widespread critical acclaim: Rolling Stone names it their best country album of the year and #17 on their Best 100 Albums of 2025 alongside accolades from Billboard, Stereogum, NPR Music, The Hollywood Reporter and many more.

Carter made her late-night TV debut earlier this year with a performance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”—on which she had previously appeared with Fallon for their holiday single “Ugly Sweater”—and is set to make her acting debut later this year in the Netflix film Heartland, starring alongside Academy Award-winner Jessica Chastain. She was named an Amazon Music Breakthrough Artist and Music Row’s 2025 Discovery Artist of the Year.

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.

The project was shaped over two years of writing with longtime producer Tofer Brown before the pair entered the studio in 2024 to record. During that time, Carter was steadily rising through country music, signing with MCA and Universal Music Publishing Group, making more than a dozen appearances at the Grand Ole Opry, and earning hundreds of millions of streams. Following her Stagecoach debut and touring runs with Ella Langley and Carly Pearce, Carter joined Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild at the 18th Academy of Country Music Honors for a duet of “Lies Lies Lies,” written by ACM Songwriter of the Year Jessie Jo Dillon, while also sharing stages with Willie Nelson, Little Big Town, Marcus King, and Noah Cyrus across the country.
