Country music star Carly Pearce is marking two decades since she began performing by announcing her fifth studio album, Honest Woman.
The 16-track project arrives on Aug. 28 via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville and finds the Grammy-winning artist returning to the classic country and bluegrass sounds that first inspired her musical journey.
The album announcement comes as Pearce reflects on her roots and the path that led her from performing bluegrass music as a teenager to becoming one of country music’s most celebrated modern voices.
Alongside the album reveal, she released a new song titled “She Don’t,” giving fans another preview of what to expect from the upcoming record.

“When I started making Honest Woman, I found myself rediscovering who I am and why I wanted to be a country music singer in the first place,” says Pearce, according to Music Row. “This album takes me back to the beginning of my story, where the sounds of classic country and bluegrass music shaped who I am. I’m so proud of this body of work, and I truly feel like it’s my best yet.”
The new collection features collaborations with Riley Green, Dan Tyminski and Molly Tuttle. Produced by Ben West, the album combines traditional influences with the storytelling style that has become a signature part of Pearce’s career.
Pearce has long balanced contemporary country music with the bluegrass influences she grew up loving. According to the singer, Honest Woman serves as a return to the sounds that first made her want to pursue a career in country music.
The Kentucky native first gained widespread attention in 2017 with her breakthrough hit “Every Little Thing.” Since then, she has earned multiple major awards, including a Grammy Award, Country Music Association Awards and Academy of Country Music Awards. She also became a member of the Grand Ole Opry in 2021.
In a separate message shared about the album, Pearce described the project as deeply personal.
“Sometimes finding yourself means finding your way back home. For me, it meant coming home…to my truth, my story, and the woman I am at my core. These songs tell that story. They hold pieces of my heart, where I come from, and the journey that brought me here. I’m so proud of this album and I can’t wait to share it with you.”
