REVIEW: "Dirty Laundry" by Carrie Underwood

Carrie Underwood is known for her cheating songs and storytelling abilities, not to mention that powerhouse voice.

"Dirty Laundry" is the next single of Underwood's 2015 number-one album Storyteller, which has already produced 3 number-ones already; "Smoke Break", "Heartbeat" and "Church Bells". Underwood is ready for her 25th number-one and "Dirty Laundry" is a song that can reach that for her.

"Dirty Laundry" is the story of a man who has been cheating on his wife. Nevertheless in this song, no one is murdered and no cars are being destroyed, instead the wife is simply airing his laundry out for everyone to see...

"That lipstick on your collar, well, it ain't my shade of pink
And I can tell by the smell of that perfume, it's like forty dollars too cheap
And there's a little wine stain on the pocket of your white cotton thread
Well, you drink beer and whiskey, boy, and you know I don't drink red"

...dirty laundry, that is. The song is infectious with its' catchy beat and lyrics that Underwood perfectly executes.

"Now I'ma have to hang you out to dry, dry, dry
Clothespin all your secrets to the line, line, line
Leave 'em blowing in the wind, just say goodbye to you"

If "Dirty Laundry" does reach number one on the charts, it will not only be Underwood's 25th number one hit, but she will then be tied for the most number-ones by a female country artist with Reba McEntire and Dolly Parton.
