Ester Dean is a painfully overused songwriter. I think she's had a credit on just about every pop release in the past year. All of this just screams bland and generic. I know Kelly is capable of better. This song better be good, or else I will not be happy. Bland and generic simply because Ester has written alot of hits in the past year????? Wow! I didn't know the qualification for being bland and generic was a song being written by a popular songwriter. That's news to me. I have to hear the song first. It's not like anyone was expecting anything other than bland and generic from Kelly C anyway. Bland and Generic is what Kelly C does best. k. GET THAT BLAND AND GENERIC SOON TO BE HOT 100 #1 HIT!!!!! KELLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Her lead single is crafted by the same team behind Pia f**king Toscano's "This Time"...none of this adds up. Exactly my point. We're not looking at a hit-making team here. Ester may have found success with Stargate productions and artists far more popular than Kelly at the moment, but I'm not too confident that Ester's writing will be enough to get the hit that Kelly desperately needs.

Who's to say Pia didn't get the shit track Kelly rejected? I've heard good and bad stuff from hit makers like Dr. Luke, Max Martin & Red One. So, I'll wait and see.

Let's face it-Kelly's first singles under RCA will always be somewhat bland and generic. They absolutely will not allow her to take major risks or release her own personal music with it. That doesn't mean it cannot be good. Suck is extremely formulaic and obviously an attempt to recapture the feel of SUBG, but I still like it and Kelly makes it work with her vocals and just the general catchiness of the song. I am not expecting a genre bending personal song, but rather a safe, catchy one that I will probably enjoy anyway.

With the exception of Never Again, all of Kelly's lead singles have been generic...so I'm not expecting this to be any different. That said, it can still be a solid pop track.

Right. But you could have saved some time; if you're going to be rude about people, you might as well make sense doing it on the first try. Speaking of rude..... I think it takes away a lot of credibility when you refuse to stay above the fray with that. from one rude person to another. Ragin, I agree with you. Don't waste your time arguing with them. I'm surprised this thread wasn't locked, an official announcement wasn't made. There is also no adds date.

Don't waste your time arguing with them. I'm surprised this thread wasn't locked, an official announcement wasn't made. There is also no adds date. First, let's put a hold on elementary school-style generalizations, shall we? As for your second point, I acknowledged that possibility in the opening post. But for more concrete rules on the subject: 1. To begin a thread, be sure to have an adds date from the following sources: AllAccess, FMQB, and/or R&R. Also those songs under AllAccess' 'Cool New Music' section have ended up being singles, so a thread for those songs are allowed as well. If a song is in/nearing the top 50 showing promise, a thread for it can be allowed. Lately I've been more lenient with the whole thing, throwing in exceptions here and there, but it can change in the near future.
Also, if a popular artist has an upcoming single still unnamed, you can start a thread with "Artist name: TBA" and I'll go in and edit once we have a title. This can prevent a bunch of topics with unconfirmed song names and such. Kelly is a popular artist and we have numerous sources reporting a title, so it seemed fairly appropriate to start a thread. If a mod feels otherwise, they will lock it and reopen it when we have an adds date and/or official announcement.

Is this a Dr. Luke track. By the title I would guess it was.

^^ It's most likely done by Ester Dean. Best case scenario is that it was produced by Star Gate. That would be an AMAZING combo. I'm still holding out hope for Dr. Luke and/or Max Martin. I bet it will be similar to Firework meets JTWYA.

Why doesn't Kelly write her own songs anymore? She really should, at least lyrically because I love 'My December'!

i'm excited to hear this. I've been a fan of hers since the very beginning, and I LOVE I Do Not Hook Up.
in fact, i remember specifically watching the original American Idol finale, season 1, and Simon got all choked up when Kelly won. I remember the cameras pointing towards him as he swiped away the tears in his eyes.
fuck, i was living in Florida then. So long ago!!!

Yeah. To me, MLWSWY is terrible terrible terrible, and Dr. Luke is usually on point with his singles he produces. I'm not going to judge by who produced it just yet. Hoping it's great either way.

Kelly is so underrated overrated ... ;) I like some of Kelly's songs, but I just feel like her songs never match her talent. She's one of the best vocalists out there, but her material doesn't reflect that much. I hope this is a smash though, if the song is good.

At first I thought this would be a relationship song but I think its more along the lines of self empowerment...or Clive.
