Kelly Clarkson Dishes On Her Relationship With Record Label RCA

In a recent interview in New Zealand, Kelly Clarkson spoke about her relationship with her record label RCA Records. Clarkson seems to have had a love/hate relationship with RCA, but things seem to be going well at the moment.

Clarkson said:

“I actually am getting along quite well [with the label]. I don’t want to jinx it but we’re doing very well for this next record and we’ve been agreeing on a lot of stuff that we normally don’t. I’m working with a lot of new people as well at the label, so it’s actually going well.”

“It’s one of those things and ya’ll understand that you’re in a job where there’s a lot of cooks in the kitchen. It’s one of those things where I’m more of a people person, and I know that obviously it’s a business and you’re not always gonna agree but I just wanna be working with people that I respect and people that respect me. That’s really the only key thing for me”.

Have you heard the newly leaked track ‘Wash, Rinse, Repeat’ by Kelly Clarkson? I wonder what Ryan Tedder has to say about it?

Ryan Tedder Speaks Out About Working With Kelly Clarkson

Ryan Tedder, who wrote Kelly Clarskon’s current hit single ‘Already Gone’, is speaking out about working with Clarkson. Following the backlash he received after being accused of shopping the same track to Beyoncé and Clarkson, Tedder isn’t so quick to say he’s work with Clarkson again any time soon. As you may recall, Beyoncé’s ‘Halo’ sounds very similar to Clarkson’s ‘Already Gone’.

Tedder says –

“Man, I haven’t talked to her, to be honest, since that went down. She has my email. Her attorney or somebody from her camp told somebody from my camp that she’s willing to work with me again. I was like, oh, thank you. I mean, I’m looking at your song right now and it’s #1 for the fourth week on Hot AC, so I’m sorry that I helped with that. I was absolutely livid when that whole thing came out because she had no idea what she was talking about when she said that. Somebody got up in her ear, and she got a bug in her ear. It was how she said it and how she worded it. If I was going around and selling the same track to the biggest artists in the world, how long would my career last? It’s ludicrous. And she knows me well enough to know I’m not an idiot. I’m not the kinda guy who’s gonna bust my ass for ten years to try and pull a fast one on Beyonce or Kelly.”

Ryan then continued, insisting that he actually prefers ‘Already Gone’ over Beyonce’s hit ‘Halo’.

“I’m no longer mad about the situation at all. ‘Already Gone’ has just about done as well in America as ‘Halo’ did. She literally wanted to sabotage the song. I’m happy that it saw the light of day, because I actually liked “Already Gone” more than “Halo.” I connect with it more. It gave me goose bumps. I’ve watched girls I’ve played the song for cry. It’s just an emotional, heartbreaking breakup song. I always liked it more than ‘Halo’.”

The One Republic frontman then hinted that he may never work with Clarkson again.

“As far as working with her in the future, I would—but I don’t know, man. It really is tough to say. I like Kelly a lot. I have nothing but amazing stuff to say about her. Her album just got nominated for Pop Album Of The Year, and I like to think I contributed somewhat with that. She’s the easiest person to work with in the studio, and all these other great superlatives. But having said that, it’s like, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. And I just don’t know that I wanna venture—I don’t wanna get some crazy-ass backlash or get my head snapped off for writing a hit song. I do wish her the best, and if we work together in the future, then I will be a happy camper about it and let bygones be bygones.”

Mash-up: Kelly Clarkson ‘Already Gone’ & ‘Halo’ Live

Back In The Studio: Kelly Clarkson Working On Fifth Studio Album

During a new interview on Chicago’s KISSFM, pop/rock diva Kelly Clarkson revealed that she’s already begun working on her fifth studio album, which will be due out Fall 2010.

“We’re already working on it. [The songs] are really different. The next record is going to be really different”.

She also revealed that she may not write the whole record either, which she blames on constant touring and releasing albums so close together (Clarkson’s current tour does not wrap up until March 2010).

“If I end up liking stuff that I’ve done then I’ll include it, but if I like other stuff better I’ll use that. Sometimes you’re just more inspired I guess, and sometimes if you have records that come out really close together it might be more other peoples songs. Because there’s not enough time to write and sing and perform and do everything.”

Despite penning all the songs from her 2007 album My December, Kelly only wrote on six of the fourteen tracks from her latest effort All I Ever Wanted.

In other news, Kelly’s latest single ‘Already Gone’ continues to rise on the Billboard charts after reaching a new peak of #17 this week. Rumor has it that ‘Don’t Let Me Stop You’ will serve as the fourth single from All I Ever Wanted, which is now close to being certified Platinum.

Clarkson Says She Didn’t Copy Beyoncé

By now we’ve all heard the similarities between Kelly Clarkson’s latest single ‘Already Gone’ and Beyoncé’s ‘Halo’, but which song actually came first? And, as for the similarities, it looks like all fingers are pointing to songwriter/producer Ryan Tedder of One Republic.

Clarkson is speaking out and says, “Ryan and I met each other at the record label, before he was working with anyone else. He’s from Oklahoma, I’m from Texas; we got along really well and had some of the same influences. We wrote about six songs together, four or five of them made the album. It was all fine and dandy. I’d never heard of a song called Halo. Her album came out when my album was already being printed. No one’s gonna be sittin’ at home, thinkin’ ‘Man, Ryan Tedder gave Beyonce and Kelly the same track to write to.’ No, they’re just gonna be sayin I ripped someone off. I called Ryan and said ‘I don’t understand. Why would you do that?’”

Clarkson claims she did not want her label to release ‘Already Gone’ as a single, but she has no say in what they choose to do.

According to one rumor, Beyoncé heard Clarkson’s demo of ‘Already Gone’ and demanded that Ryan Tedder produce a similar song for her and release it immediately before Kelly could release her song.
