Carrie Baxter Releases New Single ‘Change’ Ahead of Debut Album ‘Seven’

Rising neo soul artist Carrie Baxter continues her steady ascent with the release of her fourth single, Change, out now! The track follows a run of radio supported releases including Under My Skin, Loved You Before and Open Up Your Arms, all taken from her forthcoming debut album Seven, due for release on March 11th.

Known for her rich, emotionally driven sound, Carrie Baxter sits at the intersection of neo soul, R&B and jazz, pairing warm instrumentation with deeply confessional songwriting. Her music is rooted in introspection, often exploring identity, healing and vulnerability with a clarity that feels both intimate and universal.

With over 80 million Spotify streams to date, Carrie has built an impressive profile across radio and press. She has been featured on RTE’s The Main Stage, BBC Introducing, BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music and Jazz FM, alongside editorial support from Notion, COLORS, Wonderland, the Irish Independent and Record of the Day. Each platform has helped position her as a distinct and emotionally resonant voice within the contemporary soul landscape.

Change finds Carrie at her most open and self aware. The track unfolds through dreamlike verses and spoken word passages, gradually building toward a gospel tinged chorus that anchors the emotional centre of the song. It is both expansive and intimate, reflecting the internal push and pull that defines much of her work.

Lyrically, the song traces cycles of guilt, emotional distance and self examination. Carrie reflects on broken promises, withdrawal and the tension between desire and faith, ultimately arriving at a place of acceptance rather than judgement. At its core, Change is not about reinvention through erasure, but about growth through patience, care and honesty.

Speaking on the track, Carrie says:

“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. For a long time I treated healing like something that needed fixing. As I’ve grown, I’ve realised it’s not about fixing at all. It’s about walking alongside my younger self, letting myself feel everything, and choosing who I want to become. That’s what the chorus is. An honest conversation with myself.”

That sense of emotional continuity runs throughout Seven, with Change acting as a pivotal moment within the album’s wider narrative. Rather than offering neat resolutions, Carrie Baxter allows space for complexity, making music that feels lived in rather than polished for effect.

As her debut album approaches, Carrie continues to define herself as an artist unafraid of vulnerability, using soulful storytelling as a means of connection and self understanding. Change is not just a standout single, but a clear reflection of an artist growing into her truth, one honest conversation at a time.

Change is available now via all major platforms.
