Oy...
From this article about Kelly Clarkson:
Clarkson's debut album, Thankful, earned double-platinum status, and her multiplatinum follow-up, Breakaway, netted two Grammy awards earlier this year. She's now at work on her third album, due in early 2007.
The album in progress, she says, is a departure from her last two records, with more soulful smoothness and a rock 'n' roll edge.
"It's like a throwback to Janis Joplin, Sly, some of (the new songs) are a little Prince-ish," Clarkson says. "It's still got the whole rock-pop vibe, but it's kind of got certain songs, too, that have an extreme amount of soul in them as well."
The actual assembly of the album will have to wait, though. Clarkson is about to embark on her Addicted summer tour, and she promises it will be like nothing she's ever done before. Expect huge surprises, she says.
"People are going to be floored," she says, declining to reveal any details. "It's a more musical show, like I always do, but the things we're bringing in, like all the video stuff and different things, are major ones."
Clarkson plans to perform tracks from her forthcoming record, where she "explores a more straight-ahead rock side," says her manager, Jeff Rabhan.
"This is an opportunity to test out some material and see what really works and feels right," he says. "This definitely is going to be the biggest show she's ever done, in terms of audience and production and Kelly's going to do what she does best, which is knock the vocals out of the park."
Is it wrong that the entire time I was reading this, I was wishing that it was instead an article about Clay? Nothing against Kelly, but damn... how I wish we were getting Clay news like this. But no... no we aren't. We're just getting Clay's hair. And then silence. Lots and lots of silence.
If Clay's hair sees it's shadow, we'll have six more weeks of no album news.
Or something like that. lol... ;)
