New Music - Kelly Clarkson

Kelly Clarkson is truly one of the best pop stars out there, no matter how you measure such a thing. She’s a total darling, she’s sending a very positive body image (by being a real woman), and she always delivers some seriously top-notch pop music, and she has been for over a decade now. Anyone who can keep such a thing going for that long really has something special.

The original American Idol just released the lead single from her upcoming, and it’s more of what we expected. “Heartbeat Song” is a typical Clarkson jam, only not as massive as some of her previous lead singles. Remember the first time you heard “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)”? It hit you in the face and kept beating the crap out of you, no matter how much you beg it to stop.

Don’t get me wrong, “Heartbeat” is a very cool song, and I can totally sing along. I bet this will be a good hit for her, and it’s so nice to have her back, especially if Greg Kurstin is going to be helming the rest of the album.
