Kelly Clarkson Performs Medley On The Ellen Show

While we wait in anticipation for Kelly Clarkson’s new album to be released, the pop idol gave us something to hold us over for a bit when she performed a medley of her hits on the Ellen Show yesterday in Orlando.

New Details On Kelly Clarkson’s Upcoming Album

Songwriter Claude Kelly, who worked with Kelly Clarkson on ‘My Life Would Suck Without You’, has teamed up with original American Idol and is dishing new details on Clarkson’s upcoming album release in September.

“I will say that I’d be willing to bet that the reason it was pushed back was not for anything as horrible or earth-shattering as people think — it’s probably [just] a better setup.”

Describing the current pop scene as “congested,” Claude Kelly thinks that a slightly delayed release will work in Clarkson’s favor. “They want to make sure that the arena is clean for Kelly Clarkson’s return, ’cause when she comes back, she always comes back pretty big,” he said. “They want to make sure when her first single comes out, there’s nothing out there that’s competing with it. I don’t know for sure, but Kelly always does it big, so when it comes out, the fans will be happy and she’ll sing her butt off and it’ll be good times.”

“The songs I did write for her were in true Kelly Clarkson form, singer records that showcase her voice, but also show her edge and her attitude and her personality,” he explained. “[It's] always up-tempo for me when it comes to Kelly. I like to hear her in kick-butt mode. She has an edge to her voice that you want to hear her sing high and get in your face.”

Kelly Clarkson’s New Album Has Been Delayed!

Kelly Clarkson has famously feuded with her record label in the past over her vision for her music, and it appears we are going to have to wait even longer for her new album.

“We are all excited about Kelly’s new album and are looking forward to announcing a release date soon,” Clarkson’s record label, Sony Music, said in a statement.

Clarkson broke the news to her fans on her Facebook page Tuesday.

“I recently found out that my album won’t be coming out until September,” the singer informed her followers in the post. “The album has been recorded but I can’t release it until then. I realize that is a long time but that’s the best time to release it apparently, so I’m sorry for the wait but I promise you it sounds great!”

The “Since You’ve Been Gone” singer is very excited about her new album.”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,” she said.

The album is being produced by “Idol” producer Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, as well as Toby Gad. Her most recent release was in 2009 with the hits “My Life Would Suck Without You,” “Already Gone” and “I Do Not Hook Up.”
