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

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.<\/p>\n

With over 80 million Spotify<\/a> streams to date, Carrie has built an impressive profile across radio and press. She has been featured on RTE\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
