Kelly Clarkson Talks About New Album

Kelly Clarkson is wrapping up work on her fifth album, and she has been posting about it online.
"I record my last song on the 25th of this month and then we will be releasing the album!" Kelly wrote Monday night.
She has been working more this month with writer/producer Toby Gad, whose previous credits include Beyoncé's If I Were a Boy and Fergie's Big Girls Don't Cry, as well as songs with Kris Allen, Jordin Sparks and Allison Iraheta.
Also, Kelly says, Eric Hutchinson, our pal who opened for Kelly on her fall 2009 tour (and whose hit OK, It's Alright With Me was used on an American Idol episode in Season 9), has penned one of her favorites on the new album, a song "highly influenced by Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder."
When it comes to inspirations, Kelly writes:
"This album was influenced by Prince, Tina Turner, Sheryl Crow, Radiohead and there's a little bit of a Country vibe/influence on a couple of songs. … [T]he album is gonna be a great pop record! I can't wait for y'all to hear it!"
Hope the album's as good as it sounds.
We can't wait to hear it!

Love her
i hate to say it, but in this picture she looks like a old washed up chubby version of miley cyrus (just saying, and im not a miley cyrus fan)
you got it wrong Perez–carrie underwood may be the most successful idol alum but kelly clarkson is the most genuinely talented. carrie wouldn't have suceeded if she had done anything but country–KELLY ROCKS!!!CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR HER NEW ALBUM!
I hope she lose some weight cause she looks like a big fat pig.
Re: sassycrab – And Ms. Clarkson is really nice in person too. Carrie Underwear is one of the meanest, bitchiest celebs I've met.
sound of crickets chirping
Shes AMAZING..the best performer out there….cant wait for this
Um is she ok? She looks…….. heavy. Maybe she is depressed? Hope not
What a random bunch of influences but whatever, Kelly can sing anything.
Re: Colleen Morano – you don't look so good your self you mean bitch
Not that a person's weight makes any difference in their vocal ability but Kelly did gain weight and now she's lost it. I think Perez could have put up a better pic than this but chose not to. Celebs are no different than you or I. WE gain weight and we lose weight.
Re: PrinceD – Lol that is great..what a dumb bitch…lol hilarious dude
My Burleson beauty! See you around, around my hometown!
Looks like Miley Cyrus filled with air.
that dress blew my high…,,its horrible.
Awesome, can't wait to get it!
Re: sassycrab – Kelly has sold more albums than Carrie
Re: sassycrab – Country music was still music last I checked.
Give me this album, in my hands, right now. I'm so looking forward to it. The Aretha, Prince, Tina references get me excited. I think it's going to be her best yet. ♥
Good gawd, it looks like she rewarded herself with more than a couple of spam sandwiches. Lordie girl will you loose the chunk!
whoa….young guns ! better lay off the lobster tail sweethart !
Love her voice.
