Kelly To Release New Album In Months! Making Things Right!

74711384.jpg

Finally!

Following the critical and commercial disappointment of her most recent album, My December, and the controversy surrounding it, Kelly Clarkson has agreed to start working on a new album right away, which will be released in 2008.

Clarkson's last album, Breakaway, sold a whopping six million copies in the U.S. alone. My December is expected to sell only about 850,000.

It seems like Kelly has realized the error of her ways and is taking the appropriate steps to ensure she gets her career back on track.

My December, which was released just weeks ago, was shelved by music mogul Clive Davis for months because he didn't think the album had any hits.

Clarkson ended up cancelling her poor-selling summer tour and firing her manager, as a result of all the dramz.

Realizing the error of her ways, Kelly took the bold move of apologizing publicly to Clive Davis earlier this week.

The new album that Clarkson is recording will definitely be more radio friendly and promises to have the big pop hits this recent album lacks. Davis is overseeing the new project from its inception.

      She was ALREADY working on her 4th album before the 3rd released. Get your facts. It's still going to go the same way, kelly will not budge. She's coming out with a country album next.

      Jeez the music industry keeps on reminding me why the hell I decided, after wanting to work in it since I was a very small child, that I really couldn't bear to be a part of it.

      Kelly's new album is really good but cos it's not buying the fat cat bosses their next ridiculously oversized, badly decorated mansion that she has to record a whole new simperingly brainless pop album to make up for her faux pas of doing something that *OMG* she actually wanted to do for herself musically.

      No wonder music sales are slumping at a rate of knots.

      Thank god. She's such a good singer, but "My December" is lackluster at best. I mean, it's not BAD, but it's just sorta… meh. I hope this new album shows her off more.

      i dont know the album to me was good,

      i think it has top 10 and maybe a few 1's if put out its just they ruin it by all this trash talk then know one wants it at all.

      they ruined it before it came out they bitch singles the last single went top 5 that nto good enuff? most people lucky to have a top ten then they exepct so much out of you i dont know if th emusic idust' realises but they said on billboard 3% of music people have three hit albums thats like almost everyone pretty much, they expect so much fromt his poor girl so much weight on her shoulders when its not the music its the critics tearing her apart

      apparently im alone in my thinking that My December is actually pretty good. "Sober" is an absolutely beautiful song.

      36

      The album really isn't as bad as people are saying. I give her lots of credit for wanting to do her own thing. If Sony wants to make some money, they need to release "One Minute" as that is the most radio-friendly single.
      Every artist has their slump and Kelly is experiencing that at the moment. She will pop back and be back at the top soon.

    37. Terese says – reply to this

      39

      Sad.

      Her most recent album is phenomenal. But seeing how it has no 'hits', the label won't promote it and THAT'S why it was DOA. Not because My December wasn't a decent offering.

      It's too bad they broke her. Now we'll all have a less honest album but I'm sure it'll be good for the super-duper gay remixes for the clubs.

      p.s.
      There was no error in Clarksons ways. None at all. Sad that Perez and many think that's the case.

      this is disappointing to me. what kind of culture do we live in that lets music execs choose the music instead of the artists?

      however, I never really considered kelly an artist - she's a singer from TV. so this is actually probably the best move for her.

      but she can kiss her short-lived "artist" career goodbye!

      In this day and age, you can be sure that if somehting is wildly popular, it probably sucks ass. Everything that sells millions and tops the charts is complete and utter shite. It's overproduced, predictable, worthless crap!!! Musicians, artists, actors…most of them will sell their soul to make a buck. It's disgusting. What happened to REAL music???

      My December is a great album!! It hasn't had the sales of her others because it isn't radio friendly, not because it is bad. I thought of it as a breath of fresh air among the overly saturated- female pop star with some generically named hip hop artist throwing in a rhyme or two- tracks that raido has in regular rotation. This girl has a beautiful voice.

      Perez, you really need to get all the facts truely accurate before you post stuff like this. You're part of the reason people are actually believing that "My December" has done poorly.

      You keep failing to mention that it sold more than both "Thankful" and "Breakaway" did in their first weeks….

      You just failed to mentioned that a 4th album has been in talks since BEFORE the 3rd came out…

      It's incredible how misleading your posts can be…leads me to wonder how inaccurate the rest of your post are.

      If her tour was axed due to poor ticket sales this girl maybe saw the writing on the wall. Ticket sales make between 35-65% of an artists income. The album is more for image, branding and reach given that the record label takes the lions share of income from album sales. Even Maria Carey couldn't out diva the economics of the music biz - I think she is the only artist I know who was paid-in-full to leave. Kelly is not that big. If she were asked to leave it would not include the equivalent of a buy-out severance. Humble pie was the only option she had to save her career.

      I like this chick even more now. She learned that sometimes the right thing to do is defer to someone who has a long term track record. Maybe she could have comprimised a little more with Clive Davis. She's going to have a long, good career. BTW when was this picture of her taken? The stone age? I think it was before she discovered her love of waffles.

      I bought My December after you posted about all the dramz, I wanted to see what all the issues were, and I expected to hate it…but I can't stop listening, especially to "sober" and "maybe"

      have you bought it yet, perez? if you like singer/songwriter music with an upbeat pop/rock twist, like i can tell you do with wino, beth, and mika…you will love this cd…it is a shame that clive wont put more money into promoting it…some of the lyrics are a little juvenile, but kelly works that edge really really well with her extremely mature voice, she makes the simple words light up

      My December is a decent album. Most of the people ripping on it, and her, have never even heard it. It's sad that it's only about marketing anymore, and not talent. And #30, Latrell, comparing her to Milli Freakin Vanilli? With that comment, and the fact that you resorted to hurtful name calling, just shows what kind of person you are. Sad.

      58

      I don't think she should have given in. She did what SHE wanted to do and followed her heart, and that shouldn't be knocked. Whatever though, if she wants to give in and make more radio friendly music then Im all for it too. I liked "My December" though, but I like radio friendly stuff too.

      Another album because this one didn't have any hits? This is so stupid. Why does she have to do that. If she was happy with how the album came out in the beginning then she shouldn't do another one just to sell more albums. That's pathetic and she deserves no respect. She is selling out. I've never been a fan, but it angers me when "artists" change their music to sell more. It's a sad thing to see.

      I love Kelly Clarkson ever since American Idol, and I applaud her fighting for "My December", it is a great album indeed. I personally love it and it's one of my favorite, but not a favorite in parties or at clubs…. It's more personal and much more about her love past…

      She is a great artist! both out on stage and personally… she now noticed her mistake, and she knows what to do….

      i hope her next single is "One Minute"

      I love you kelly, and I support you!!!
      (& perez too)

      Love ya!

      63

      So Perez are you on Clive's payroll? Seems you've dissed Kelly at every turn rather than applauding her attempt to establish her own artistic control and vision, something you otherwise seem enamored about in other artists.

    64. LV says – reply to this


      64

      I think Kelly's new album is great. It is really unfortunate that she is doing this. And it is also interesting that so many people will make negative comments about pop stars not writing their own music or sounding to made up…and here is a time when a pop artists decides to do her own thing and be who she wants and again gets so much negativity towards her music. The only reason she got bad reviews is because Clive Davis is such a heavy weight in the music industry…reviews are all politics…you get a bad review only if you are on bad terms with the critics…it doesn't even seem to matter if you music is actually good.

      I wish Kelly the best of luck no matter what she does. She's a great artist.

      Hits Schmitz. My December is by far her best album. Yes, intelligent people and her true fans bought it. Remember, it was the tweens and early teens who bought Breakaway in droves. Now they're almost in college and they've moved on. That's why sales are down. Did you buy the same music at 15 that you did at 12? Did Alanis sell as many copies after Jagged Little Pill? Of course not. Very rarely does an artist have 2 blockbusters in a row. Why were tickets sales low? Because in the SF Bay Area at least, she's been here 5 or more times in the past 3 years. It's 2007. Who listens to radio? Davis is a 200 year old troll with too much control. He unleashes crap after crap and he is why record sales have tanked for years.

      i was just reading album sales and such…and so far, my december is doing better then breakaway did in its first week of sales. so even if its not as radio friendly, it doesnt make it a flop… remember madonna's american life album? that was considered a flop but was still multiplatinum. radio ruins music anyways. who listens to radio anymore?

    76. betsy says – reply to this


      76

      holy shit folks, kelly is *not* fat (hi, it's called being normal, thank god) and her new album does *not* suck- it's different, sure. it's not 'radio friendly', but so the fuck what? 99% of the shit that makes it to #1 only does because dumbshits like clive davis tell us it's good and it gets promoted and played ad nauseum until we can't fucking take it anymore- and *that's* supposed to be the definition of good music? scuse me while i hurl.

      kelly's album is amazing. 'sober' is phenomenal. anybody with half a brain would recognize true talent when they hear it. i'm saddened to hear kelly's being forced to give in simply because she had the guts to stick to her guns in the first place.

      what's wrong with you people if she's normal you call her fat, and if she's skiny you call her a FREAK !! boring boring get a life !!
      i believe she said that she only needed to release this album [My December] for her [the album she needed to do] and for next album she maybe goes back to "more RADIO FRIENDLY" albums or whatever the label wants he to do ! so the only surprise is that the new album is going to be release on 2008 !! way to soon, i'm really enjoying "MY DECEMBER" right now and i think it's her best …. and that's how i feel right now so let her be ….. B!TCHES

      'my december' is a great album. Sales are NOT an indicator of quality; nevertheless, the album has sold rather well. Katherine McPhee did everything Clive Davis told her and her album sold very little, AND in my opinion, is a medicore CD from someone who deserves better.

      to be honest this is very disappointing news. the my december album is very good if you actually slow down and just listen to it, its heartfelt and actually means something, its not like all the radio friendly albums that come out it actually show true artistry i wish she would just stick to her guns and do more for this record.

      The cd was okay, she just released bad singles. One minute, Don't waste my time, how I feel and can I have a kiss are really good songs. But 4 songs out of 13…yeah. Oh well and Kelly is not fat, just not ano.

      Nice to see commerce and good old-fashioned ass kissing has won out over artistic integrity. Kelly Clarkson and all these other fabricated "idols" give me the shits.

      My December is a really good album, who cares if it's not "radio friendly" I'd rather listen to a good song from this album than that piece of crap "Party like a rockstar" song. I mean seriously "Chivas" the hidden track is such an amazing song, so raw but with sooooo much passion that really blows my mind. I wish artists nowadays could sing a song like that, yeah the lyrics may be simple and straigh-forward but the way she sings that song gives me chills. It is a little dissapointing to see her give in, but it is understandable because if she doesnt she may have the same luck as Christina Aguilera who has had the guts to stick to her ideas and projects(which are superb) but has cost her the fame she had when her first album came out. Back to Basics is just like My December, so good but not "radio-friendly"……bullshit!!! People start listening to good music for God's sake!!!

      i really like "my december", all the negative publicity has made that people believe it's a bad album and is not true. And she has been working on her 4th album long time ago. so please perez get informed before u post something that u dont know nothing ’bout

      this just shows that Kelly is unlike other Divas! She isnt afraid to admit her mistakes and is willing to compromise!!

      Way to go Kelly!!!
