Carnival (Kasey Chambers album)

Carnival is the fourth studio album from Australian singer/songwriter Kasey Chambers, released in Australia on 19 August 2006 and in the United States on 12 September 2006.

Carnival marks a departure from the trademark styles of Chambers's previous albums, showcasing a more mature and edgier sound.

But once again there is (and always be) a little piece of my heart and soul in every line and sound...On 28 August 2006 the album made its debut on the Australian Albums chart at number one and accrediting Platinum by ARIA.

Music critic Mark Deming, in his AllMusic wrote "While Carnival is roots-friendly enough that it isn't likely to seriously alienate most of her fans, this album does represent a clear and decisive break from the country-influenced approach of her earlier music... As a vocalist, Chambers remains wonderfully expressive while maintaining a realistic emotional palate at all times, and her instrument is simple but gorgeous... With Carnival, Kasey Chambers gives up her title as the greatest Aussie country singer alive and becomes – the greatest Aussie singer around today?
