The fact that she's taking credit for this is astonishing.

She explained she "wanted something different from what people might expect from me." Kelly, there were many ways that could have been done. Releasing two consecutive albums with covers that were nice, for example, would have been different from what people expected.

Releasing two consecutive albums with covers that were nice, for example, would have been different from what people expected. greatest hits and wrapped in red cover are very good. so thats 2 in a row this cover art is not bad at all. i dunnno why people make such a big deal. wanna see a really ugly cover art? mr know it all single cover! that one is her worst. stronger album cover is also boring as hell. embrace it people, it colorful and different and not boring. yayness

Very interesting last minute in this new Canadian interview. It really does sound like she's winding down in regards to her life as a Popstar. There's also the ending of her contractual obligations ticking away in her mind by the looks of it.

^ Thanks for sharing that interview. Sounds really promising IMO, proves to us that she's only semi-engaged in this record commercially and that she is artistically inspired otherwise. Hearing her say "I love music" and that she only gets "one life" and then rattling off all the styles that interest her... much preferable from a selfish-fan perspective than "I love being a mother." I won't be disappointed when she decides to give up the pop star life and starts releasing music that is personal and relevant to her, and that is fulfilling to her. What's less interesting to me is this disengaged commercially accessible music without promotion. I also don't think it's particularly interesting to her.

OMG that cover is a horrible mess. It's something you'd see a washed up R&B singer gone independent would come up with. Oh Kelly..

Although Pop is probably my favorite gentre, I will be really happy to hear other stuff from her in the future. I enjoyed that interview. Thanks for posting it Jack.

In addition to the 13-song standard edition, three additional songs will be featured on the deluxe version.

Preorders for the album will be made available tomorrow, Feb. 3. It’s her first new record since 2011’s Stronger, not counting 2013 Christmas album Wrapped in Red.

The cover is....the cover. I think it would have looked better if it did have the holographic effect, so that it phased between the regular and deluxe looks or any different headshot. It looks reallllly weird in a still like that. Oh well!

There's also the ending of her contractual obligations ticking away in her mind by the looks of it. In another interview from the same day, she said: "I don't live for my job anymore. When you're not married and you don't have anything really going on, that's what you do and your art's all that you really have. After getting married, and now that I have three kids in my life, we're very family. There's absolutely no rock and roll moments going on. It didn't take a backburner, it's in a little sidecar. I love it. I love the fact that I'm a mom that gets to work." She also said that they plan to "go pretty hard," in terms of promotion, following the Super Bowl.

Oh good, I was concerned there'd be no co-writes on the album, 5 is in line with what we got on the last few albums. Her writing the title track will definitely deliver a bigger punch.

I was always under the impression that she was more heavily involved with the songwriting, either way looking forward to this.

I know it's not, but I wish that was a Kacey Musgraves reference. :( She would kill a breezy, longing ballad like that.

Jimmy Fallon had another lip synch battle on his show that is going viral and in it he sang SUBG. I would post the video but my computer isn't cooperating at the moment.

I spent about five minutes scanning through the half hour segment but couldn't find where the interview was, so I'll take your word for it.

I think this is a really healthy way for her to look at her career going forward. She'll have active eras, but the inbetween will be QUIET, which is fine. I'd be happy if she did some guest vocals or features or just cute EPs, but I doubt that's in the cards at this point in her career. If she were having her Breakaway era now, and was single and getting at it, we probably would, but not now. Also a month-long promo blitz is perfect. I'd expect to start getting some appearance announcements this week.

Oh no. The covers are for real. The pre-order shows those trainwreck covers. Yikes.
