Carrie Underwood To Make Film Debut

It’s not enough to be just a country music superstar anymore. Now, you’ve got to act, as well.

Carrie Underwood is set to make her feature film debut in the indie-drama titled “Soul Surfer”, which is based on the life of teen surfing champ and shark attack survivor Bethany Hamilton. Underwood will play a church youth leader. How appropriate…The film will also star Helen Hunt and Dennis Quaid.

This isn’t Underwood’s first acting job, and it certainly won’t be her last. She recently filmed an episode of How I Met Your Mother and had her very own holiday variety special on tv. Underwood can also be seen stretching her acting chops in her most recent music video for ‘Temporary Home’. If that’s any indication, Underwood is turning into quite an actress.

It is not clear if the song will double as her first official single off her forthcoming album, or if it will simply be on the film’s soundtrack.

Early reports claim that Lavigne’s new album will be a return to her more acoustic sound and less of the over-produced sound as heard on ‘Girlfriend’.

‘New Moon’ Exclusive Song Premiere: Lykke Li, ‘Possibility’

The “Twilight: New Moon” soundtrack’s release date was just moved up to Oct. 16 and we’ve got one of the tracks for you to check out.

Swedish alt-pop singer/songwriter Lykke Li’s contribution to “New Moon” is “Possbility,” a haunting piece of chamber pop that finds her humming over a hymnal drone and stark, metronomic piano line. “There’s a possibility all that I had was all I gon’ get,” Li sings through thick echoes. “So tell me when you hear my heart stop/You’re the only one that knows/Tell me when you hear my silence/There’s a possibility/ I wouldn’t know.”

Li, who recently ended a world tour in support of her debut album, “Youth Novels,” recently blogged about her contribution to the “New Moon” soundtrack. “I got to see ['New Moon'] when I was in LA for a show and an idea immediately rose to my mind,” said the singer. “It would take a few weeks before I even had a chance to sit down by a piano but then suddenly I wrote it while having a few days off in Sweden just coming out of a fever…I’m really proud of it and hope you will love it and need it.”

The “Twilight: New Moon” soundtrack also features indie darlings Bon Iver and St. Vincent in a duet entitled “Roslyn,” as well as songs by Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke, Brooklyn band Grizzly Bear, U.K. outfit Muse and rockers Death Cab for Cutie, who claimed the lead single with “Meet Me on the Equinox.”
