With her new single “Carry Me Away,” Altadena-based country-pop powerhouse Eileen Carey once again proves why she’s one of the most uplifting voices in contemporary music. Known for her vibrant mix of pop melodies and country charm, Carey delivers a song that radiates optimism and freedom — an irresistible reminder of the joy that comes from embracing change and living fully in the present moment.
From the very first beat, “Carry Me Away” invites listeners into a world of escape and renewal. The song captures that feeling of breaking free from routine and rediscovering one’s spark. As Carey sings, “I feel like taking chances / I feel brand new / Can’t lose,” her words become both an anthem and an affirmation. It’s a track that celebrates possibility — not with naivety, but with the confidence that comes from experience and self-belief.
Musically, “Carry Me Away” is a perfect showcase of Carey’s signature “West Coast Pop-Country” style. The production blends shimmering guitars, layered rhythms, and a breezy, upbeat tempo that feels tailor-made for open roads and blue skies. Her vocals — described perfectly as “soul-drenched and honeyed” — glide effortlessly over the track, carrying both warmth and emotional power. There’s a balance between modern pop polish and timeless country storytelling that makes the song appealing across genres.
Lyrically, Carey continues her tradition of using music as a form of empowerment. Much like her earlier hits “Land With You” and “Good Bad Girl,” this new single reflects her belief that music should inspire listeners to take charge of their own happiness. “Carry Me Away” doesn’t just speak to escaping physically, but emotionally — it’s about finding that inner space to reset, grow, and move forward. That’s what makes it resonate so deeply; it’s not a song about running away from life, but running toward it.
Eileen Carey’s reputation in the independent music world is well-earned. With multiple #1 hits on the New Music Weekly Indie Top 40 and a Top 5 placement on their Mainstream Top 40 Chart, she’s built an impressive career grounded in hard work and authenticity. Her accolades — including New Music Awards’ AC/Hot AC Breakthrough Artist of 2025 and Independent Music Network’s Entertainer of the Year — only reinforce her standing as one of country-pop’s most inspiring figures.
On stage, Carey is equally magnetic. Her performances, often described as a mix of Gretchen Wilson’s grit and Miranda Lambert’s energy, transform every show into a celebration. She’s shared stages with icons like Don McLean, Rita Coolidge, Jefferson Starship, and The Motels, proving that her music transcends generational and stylistic boundaries.
Beyond her artistry, Carey continues to uplift others through her work as a beauty ambassador for Joe Blasco Cosmetics and as the founder of The Music Mom blog, where she promotes wellness, creativity, and empowerment. These endeavors reflect the same spirit that pulses through “Carry Me Away” — a belief in living boldly, beautifully, and on one’s own terms.
In a world often weighed down by noise and negativity, “Carry Me Away” feels like a breath of fresh air — a melodic invitation to pause, dream, and rediscover joy. With this single, Eileen Carey doesn’t just ask listeners to escape; she encourages them to soar.
