Rising Irish neo-soul artist Carrie Baxter returns with “Change,” out now, a deeply personal preview of her forthcoming album ‘Seven,’ arriving March 11. Known for blending neo-soul, R&B and jazz with confessional songwriting, Baxter continues to build a sound rooted in vulnerability and emotional precision.
“Change” unfolds with dreamlike verses and spoken-word passages before rising into a gospel-tinged chorus that lingers long after it lands. The arrangement feels spacious yet intimate, giving her voice room to carry the weight of the story. It is a striking showcase of restraint and release, anchored by a chorus that resonates with conviction.
Speaking on the track, Carrie shares, “This song didn’t come easily to me. It forced me to sit with the parts of myself I’d avoided for years, the patterns I carried from childhood that I knew I had to face”. That honesty runs through the song, reinforcing her reputation for emotionally driven storytelling.
With more than 80 million Spotify streams, Baxter’s ascent has drawn attention from outlets including COLORS, Wonderland and The Irish Independent, alongside radio support from BBC Introducing, BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music and Jazz FM. Following earlier singles “Under My Skin,” “Loved You Before” and “Open Up Your Arms,” “Change” marks another confident step toward ‘Seven.’
