New Info On Kelly Clarkson’s New Album
Christina, Beyonce, Britney, are supposedly all slated to release new albums this fall. Clearly the chicken coop is about to get even more crowded. Here’s the scoop on Kelly Clarkson’s fourth LP:
Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic recently spoke with ABC News Radio, and here’s what he had to say about Kelly Clarkson’s upcoming CD, due to drop in November:
OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder did quite a bit of work on Kelly Clarkson’s forthcoming CD, and when asked to describe it, Tedder told ABC News Radio, “The sound is, in a word, amazing.” He added, “She was talking about how she thinks it’ll be better than any album she’s put out so far. The last song we did [together] is my favorite song I’ve done since ‘Apologize’ or ‘Bleeding Love’ or whatever. It’s very haunting.” Tedder raves, “I’ve never been more excited about material that I’ve worked on with any artist, to be quite frank.”
Saying the sound of the record is “all over the place,” Tedder explains, ‘She’s gonna have really aggressive, in-your-face rock/pop, but she’s also gonna have orchestral, Mozart moments of classical rhythmic stuff. It’s great.”
Sounds good in theory. But I’m afraid this could turn out to be another My December. Hope I’m wrong.
Did you mean her fourth LP instead of her third?
Yes, Danny. Thank you for the correction!
My December was a strong album. I didn’t really like Don’t Waste Your Time, but there were enough B-sides floating around on the net to make up for it. It got such a bad reputation because it wasn’t a pop smash like Breakaway. But there’s some very heartfelt songs on it.
I still think that if Kelly Clarkson had been undiscovered and released My December as her first album, it would’ve been praised. In a way, it is her first album because she took part in writing all of it. It’s her beginnings as a songwriter and it’s a very good start.
