Faith Hill hasn’t officially released a new single since 2007′s “Red Umbrella,” which went to No. 28 on Billboard’s Country Songs chart. But EW has learned exclusively that the country superstar is planning to make her long-awaited comeback by performing a new single, “Come Home,” at this year’s 45th Annual CMA Awards, which will air Nov. 9 on ABC at 8 p.m.

Virtually no details are available about the song, but in February, Hill was quoted as saying that she’d soon be in the studio working on an album of new material. Naturally, she was tight-lipped about what she was recording. “I’m not even prepared to talk about it right now,” she told Billboard at the time. “I’m right in the middle of it, so it’s really hard to describe what it is until I’m done. That’s the honest truth. I’ll be able to tell more, maybe once I come out of the studio in the spring.”

Hill hasn’t been in the recording studio in quite a while. Her last new album was Fireflies, which debuted on top the Billboard 200 and Top Country Albums chart when it came out in August 2005. Subsequent albums were 2007′s The Hits and a holiday compilation, Joy to the World, in 2008.

The CMA Awards are set to be hosted by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood, who have done the job three times before. Besides Hill, other performers for the night include Taylor Swift, Blake Shelton, Paisley, Jason Aldean, and Keith Urban.

This October, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw will celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary. What’s one way to celebrate that milestone? By releasing the powerhouse country duo as dolls, of course — which is what Mattel is doing. EW has the exclusive first look at the pair of new Barbies — known as the Tim McGraw and Faith Hill Doll Gift Set — which officially become available in September for $69.99 at BarbieCollector.com.

To get the full scoop on the creation of the dolls, EW talked to Linda Kyaw, designer for Barbie Collector. Turns out that Tim and Faith themselves were rather involved in the design process, especially from the outset. “Tim and Faith sent us photos of every detail” of their outfits for the dolls, Kyaw says, “including Tim’s complete suit, piece-by-piece; and Faith’s dress, make-up, and clear shots of her hair preference. The couple knew exactly what they wanted to see in doll form, and they helped us achieve the best possible results.”

As you can probably imagine, the design process takes time — creating the prototype alone took about two months. “It really takes an army and the process can take anywhere from a weeks to a few months,” Kyaw adds. “With real celebrity likenesses, it is definitely more challenging because there are a lot of factors to consider. Our vision is to capture the true essence of the celebrity — and I think we did just that with Tim and Faith!”

Faith Hill has signed on as the special guest performer at this year’s Symphony Spring Fashion Show set to take place at Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center on Tuesday, April 6. According to the show’s co-chair Johnna Watson, Faith is the perfect candidate to headline the show.

“We are so honored that Faith Hill will join us for the 2011 Symphony Spring Fashion Show,” says Watson in a press release. “In addition to being an amazing artist, she is also considered a fashion icon by those in the industry.

Watson’s partner Janet Betz adds, “Faith’s presence is more meaningful because she believes so strongly in promoting music education. Her appearance at the Symphony Spring Fashion Show perfectly complements this event.”

This year’s Symphony Spring Fashion Show will include showing off the newest fashions from the design team Marchesa, as presented by Marissa Collections of Naples, Florida.

Faith Hill is making “steady” progress towards her next album and plans to return to the studio in March for another round of recording. But don’t expect to hear anything until it meets some pretty high standards.

“I would like to have a record out,” Hill tells Billboard.com, “but it hasn’t been the right thing yet. I don’t want it to be just another record. It’s a lot of work to support a record, so I just want it to be… really great. I want it to represent where I am as a woman. I don’t want it to be fake. I want it to be authentic and real.”

Hill’s last album of all new material, the double-platinum “Fireflies,” debuted atop the Billboard 200 and Top Country Albums chart in 2005. She followed it with “The Hits” in 2007 and the holiday set “Joy to the World” in 2008.

Hill acknowledges that “the pendulum has shifted a bit in my priorities… since the birth of my children,” and job number one now is raising her three daughters with Tim McGraw — Gracie, 13, Maggie, 12, and Audrey, nine. “It’s changed how I do my business and everything,” Hill explains. “I feel very blessed I’m able to stay home with my kids. My husband works really hard and I’m a wife and that’s the path that I’ve chosen. The other things that I do really have to fit in around that. I’ve been working (on an album) for awhile, but it just takes a little bit longer. And that’s okay.”

With that in mind, Hill is staying tight-lipped regarding details about her recording sessions. “I’m not even prepared to talk about it right now,” he says. “I’m right in the middle of it, so it’s really hard to describe what it is until I’m done. That’s the honest truth. I’ll be able to tell more, maybe once I come out of the studio in the spring.”
