Carter Faith is returning to the world of Cherry Valley with five more songs and a new collaboration with Wyatt Flores.
Faith and Flores have joined forces for “Nothin’ Better To Do,” the latest song released from Cherry Valley Forever. The deluxe edition of Faith’s acclaimed debut album arrives July 24 through MCA/Gatsby Records.
The expanded project includes five additional tracks, bringing the complete collection to 20 songs. It arrives during a breakthrough year for Faith, whose original Cherry Valley album earned an ACM Album of the Year nomination.
Carter Faith and Wyatt Flores Release “Nothin’ Better To Do”
Written by Carter Faith, Shane McAnally and Tofer Brown, “Nothin’ Better To Do” brings Faith and Wyatt Flores together for the first time.
Faith personally asked Flores to join her on the song, creating a duet that blends two of country music’s most distinctive rising voices.
“Nothin’ Better To Do” is the second song shared from the deluxe album, following “Ain’t Over Me Yet.”
The collaboration arrives shortly before Flores releases his own album, Scared of Heights, on July 31. Produced by Charlie Handsome, Jacob “JKash” Hindlin and Gian Stone, the project draws from early-2000s pop and rock influences while continuing the personal songwriting that has helped define Flores’ career.
New Songs on Cherry Valley Forever
The deluxe edition features five additional tracks:
“Dead Horse”
“Nothin’ Better To Do”
“Pearl Handled Pistol”
“If A Man’s From Texas”
“Ain’t Over Me Yet”
“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.”
