In a short interview with The Tennessean Carrie Underwood admits that multitasking is not her strong suit. 

With no tour on the schedule you can count on one hand the times she’s performed in public so far in 2009 so many may be asking, “What has she been doing?” 

We told you last week that she has a brand new album set to release November 3rd this year and according to Carrie she has been focusing on writing and recording;

I can’t multitask that well, I suppose,” she said of taking time off from touring to record. “I like to be focused on one thing and do the best possible job I can, no matter what that one thing is, whether I’m completely touring or completely writing or completely recording. That’s how I operate. Right now, it’s been really nice. I’m still working very hard, but I get to go home to my own bed at night, which is really nice.”

“I’ve definitely been writing a lot more, and I’m getting more comfortable in my writing abilities, kinda branching out and writing with people who aren’t necessarily in country music,” she said. “I’m not planning on changing the kind of music that I sing, but it’s nice to bring a different flavor into it.”

According to the article Carrie says she’s still in the writing stage with the album but with only taking a short break to welcome home Fort Campbell troops next month there is plenty of time to finish.
