this post is dedicated to my favorite idol.
american idol.
miss kelly clarkson....miss independent....blazed the pop music world from 2002-2006. she was untouchable. a pop legend in the making.
after a 2 year hiatus and a edgier junior album, "my december", people wondered if she peaked early. could she ever have another album that matched her sophomore, pop perfection album - "breakaway?"
well, kids, if any of you have listened to her latest album, "all i ever wanted," you know the answer.
Y-E-S.
even rolling stone agrees:
"My Life Would Suck Without You" is a kind of repentance, a chastened pop star's retreat from auteurdom. It's also, as it turns out, fantastic — the early favorite for single of the year.
It's hard to match that thunderclap opening, but Clarkson does....... "I Do Not Hook Up" is another spitfire mix of melody and crashing guitars — one of the most raucous odes to chastity in recent memory. Next comes "Cry," a big waltz-time ballad whose tune holds a hint of Nashville-pop twang. Clarkson grew up in Texas listening to country; "Cry" serves notice that she could give Carrie Underwood a run for her money.
so for your listening pleasure, here is the fantastic new album.
my favorites? "already gone", "i do not hook up", "cry", "all i ever wanted", "save you".....and of course, "my like would suck without you."
hope you like it too!
sb, out.
