Album by album, Carrie Underwood crept slowly toward the kind of spangly, oversized country-pop made by Shania Twain at the dawn of the 21st century -- a transition that reaches its culmination on Denim & Rhinestones, her seventh proper studio LP.

Album by album, Carrie Underwood crept slowly toward the kind of spangly, oversized country-pop made by Shania Twain at the dawn of the 21st century -- a transition that reaches its culmination on Denim & Rhinestones, her seventh proper studio LP. As the winner of the fourth season of American Idol , Underwood always had at least one foot firmly planted in pop, so this evolution doesn't come as a shock. Nevertheless, the gleam and sheen of Denim & Rhinestones is rather overwhelming; it's a record where the shining surfaces are buffed so brilliantly, they're blinding. Such extravagance suits Underwood, who continues to demonstrate a masterly sense of control as a vocalist, able to milk the melodrama out of power ballads while also sounding defiant on arena-fillers and seeming convincingly tender on the sweeter melodies. Despite this gift, the best moments on Denim & Rhinestones are the ones that contain no subtlety: the overdriven '80s-MTV inflections of "Crazy Angels," the insistent taunt of the chorus on "Hate My Heart," the bubbly exuberance of "Pink Champagne," the exaggerated retro-chill vibe on "Wanted Woman," and the high-'80s throwback spirit of "Denim & Rhinestones." These are the moments that give Denim & Rhinestones its character and charm, an unabashed pop spirit that separates it from the rest of Underwood's catalog along with most of the mainstream country of 2022. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
