Kelly Clarkson, the most successful American Idol with more than 15 million records sold worldwide, is coming out with her most anticipated album, “All I Ever Wanted”.
Clarkson is the first American Idol; since then she has had many #1 hits like “Since You Been Gone”, “Behind These Hazel Eyes” and “Because of You”; she has won two Grammys and sold out many concerts. Now, she’s back with a new producer and management company ready to blow music lovers away with her amazing voice.
Her last album “My December,” was released in 2007 but didn’t do well because she was supposedly feuding with Clive Davis, the Chairman and CEO of RCA music group, J Records and BMG North America.
The rumors were that Davis wanted to control Clarkson by making her do an album that was very similar to her second album “Breakaway” which sold more than five million copies in the US alone.
“I just want people to hear it, instead of 100-year-old executives making decisions on what’s good for pop radio. It’s people my age who listen to it. My gut hasn’t been wrong yet, so why wouldn’t I continue to follow it?” said Kelly Clarkson on all the rumors about her album “My December”.
Kelly Clarkson gained herself respect after standing up to Clive Davis and sticking to her beliefs; not many artists do that today. Many do albums just to sell, for fame and for money. Kelly Clarkson didn’t; she followed her ideas to what kind of album she wanted to do and went ahead and did that.
“All I Ever Wanted” is no different this album is; Kelly Clarkson (like all the others.)
Now with the support of her new producer, new management and many fans, she’s back to make more hits like she knows how, and she has proved that she still can.
Clarkson’s first single from her new album, “My Life Would Suck Without You” broke chart records as soon it was released. The single made the biggest jump in Billboard Hot 100 singles from #97 to #1 in one week. She had previously broken this same record back in 2002 with her first hit single “A Moment Like This” which jumped from #50 to #1.
In “All I Ever Wanted” you will find a little bit of everything different genres, beats, sounds musically and vocally. Clarkson literally sings her heart out. Song writers like Katy Perry, Aimee Proal and Ryan Tedder from One Republic all contributed in the making of “All I Ever Wanted”. Clarkson herself also wrote many of the songs for herself.
In this album, there are ballads like “Save You” and “If No One Will Listen” both which show how stunning Clarkson’s voice sounds. It is truly amazing. Not many artists today know how to truly sing like she does.
There are also pop songs like “Don’t Let Me Stop You” and “Long Shot”. They have more of a fast dance beat that will sure keep you on your feet.
The song “All I Ever Wanted” which is the title of the album, is more punk rockish and very different from what we’ve heard Clarkson sing before. Her voice is rough and loud just a fun song to sing and listen to. “Whyyawannabringmedown” is also a very fun song to listen to. It will sure make you want to dance around and bang your head.
“Cry” which is one of the most personal songs in this album has more of a country sound but it’s sung so profoundly beautiful.
Kelly Clarkson can sing anything you give her and she has proven that in American Idol and now with all of her albums. Her voice is powerful, one of a kind, and there’s no doubt that she’s here to stay.
Her album is breathtaking. The album is constructed well both musically and vocally. Clarkson’s voice sounds better than ever.
“All I Ever Wanted” is a combination of many songs with strong, incredible vocals that will give you chills when you hear it.
An artist is someone that puts their heart into what they do, someone who doesn’t pretend, someone with talent, and Kelly Clarkson is a true artist.
