Carrie Underwood, the winner of the fourth series of ‘American Idol’, is to release her second album in the autumn.

Billboard reports that the as-yet-untitled record, the follow-up to 2005′s ‘Some Hearts’, will be released on 23 October.

‘Some Hearts’ has been a bestseller in the US, providing the singer with hit singles 80 weeks after its release.

When speaking to the trade daily earlier this year, Underwood said that the album would not signal a change in musical style.

“I really, really like being a part of country music – and hopefully they like having me – so I don’t have any intentions of trying anything else,” said the singer
