Kelly Clarkson Is Working On New Album for Late 2010

Friday October 30, 2009

Yesterday, in an interview with Chicago’s Kiss FM, Kelly Clarkson revealed that she is already at work on her fifth solo album, and we may see a late 2010 release. She says the next album will be really different. That would seem nothing new. All I Ever Wanted, My December, and Breakaway are all significantly different from each other. The primary thing they have in common is Kelly Clarkson’s stellar voice.

Kelly Clarkson seems to have calmed any of the fears about whether she was a long-term commercially viable artist after the introspective My December sold poorly. Her current album All I Ever Wanted has already sold nearly as many copies as My December in just over six months of release, and it has generated three top 20 pop singles while My December produced only one.

Kelly Clarkson stops by to hang with Ty Bentli at 103-5 KissFM in Chicago! This is part one of two…before she ran upstairs to the Coca-Cola Lounge to meet a bunch of 103-5 KissFM listeners and perform a whole acoustic set for them!

Kelly Clarkson Working on “Something Different” for New Album
Even though Kelly Clarkson is still out on the road in support of her latest release All I Ever Wanted through March 2010, that doesn’t mean she’s not already thinking about what comes next. In a recent radio interview with Kiss FM in Chicago, the chatty singer revealed that she’s already begun work on her 5th studio album. So what can fans expect?

According to Clarkson, “something different.” Well that’s insightful, no? Thanks, Kel! The real interesting tidbit is that she disclosed that she might not have time to write the whole album as a result of her tour schedule (read: Clive won’t let her). Fans have come to expect a certain number of Clarkson penned tracks on her albums, though you get the sense that shes learning to play nice with her label honcho by mixing her own work with the industry’s hottest producers. Can we say “My Life Would Suck Without You?”

Knowing the Clarkson, she’s still got a few tricks up her sleeves. I, personally, would love to see her do an all acoustic/stripped down record. Check out the interview below
