I'm hoping for a soulful / poppy sound still. I'm definitely way more into her pop anthems than anything else. I like the new beginning and Atlantic will make her a big focus / priority (like RCA used to do). But the thought of her doing a straight up soul / R&B album kinda scares me, since Thankful is my least fav album of hers. Dont be scared Kelly Clarkson wasnt made to wade in the same waters as Miley, Katy and Taylor. Her already soulful and magnificent voice will never be a CHR top artist any longer (well hasnt been in ages) her voice has been crying for my Nashville soul or R&B/Soul for decades. When she hits the stage the outpouring of emotions would be wasted on fodder fit for her lesser contemporaries in the pop field today. You cant dunk a diamond in s**t forever. This is the greatest news since they extracted wine from grapes. Frankly hunni the musical landscape is about to be changed upside down in 2017 with this news and you can accept the greatness coming now or later after the fact 🙈. I dont see why Adele would hog the top spot when we already had and have a version of her that is far more talented and possess pipes and personality and soul that would blow her out of Wembley Stadium with all due respect of course. Y'all can say I'm shading people but I'm just waxing real poetic just like I imagine a soul/r&b Kelly album will sound like.✍

I'm so stoked for her newfound artistic freedom and that she's on a label that is nurturing it. She deserves this. Given how much I love My December, I'm feeling really good about her getting to do her thing, regardless of genre.

The performance of PxP was removed from the official American Idol YouTube channel. I wonder if this has anything to do with her no longer being with 19.

It's certainly not because Idol has better content on the way. How did her contract with 19 work? Did they lose all rights to her material once she left RCA? Genuine question.

IIRC every Idol's deal was directly with 19, who in turn licensed its rights to various Sony or Interscope labels depending on where a particular artist went (in Kelly's case, RCA). So 19 and RCA both have vested rights in her material, but it's easier to refer to RCA (or Sony) because that's who did most of the actual work/held the purse strings, far as I can tell. It's anyone's guess as to how much stake each label has though. I think that suit 19 filed against Sony for stiffed royalties is ongoing, but Sony was arguing that it actually paid 19 too much. Oh, and the company that owns 19 did file for chapter 11 a few months ago. It's all a mess, but if 19 does finally go under, its holdings will be put up on the auction block and go to either its creditors or to the highest bidder. That could be the opportunity for Atlantic or Kelly to swoop in and buy out 19's share in her old material, if Sony doesn't somehow manage to seize it.

I can't help but wonder what stage Kell6y is in on the new album. Song selection? Recoding?

Any speculation about the vain of "soulful " Kelly will go into?

Any speculation about the vain of "soulful " Kelly will go into? Hopefully Bad Reputation/ Oh Darling/ You Don't Know Me territory! Very classic, '60s/'70s inspired soul. Kelly's descriptions of her own music are always kind of weird (I still haven't fully forgiven her for calling MKIA her 'sassy Tina Turner' song) but whenever she takes a truly soulful approach she always lands in this sweet spot, regardless of the genre of the original song. I want that to come across on the record.

I completely agree with the above post. You have to be VERY CAREFUL when Kelly is describing the sound of her new songs or album. I don't know where she comes up with most of what she says. However, Kelly has always shined when singing soul music that has lyrics she connects to. I hope she has a hand in writing so she can really relate to the lyrics because the rest will fall into place. When was the last time a huge artist like Kelly released a soul album?

^^ Do you mean when the last time a big "pop" artist released a soul album ? My guess is Justin Timberlake. As far as soul artists, there are so many artists in this genre, such as John Legend, Alicia Keys, Chrisette Michelle, etc. I'm hoping that she brings some of the gritty neo-soul sound that has been frankly missing for years, since Amy Winehouse's death.

I think I'd prefer her to do soul/r&b tinged pop. I remember when 'Walk Away' came out she described that as more 'soulful' and I get what she means (the bridge is definitely Aretha inspired), but I also agree that sometimes her descriptions of her own music are pretty wonky. As long as she has a good mix of uptempo/mid tempo/ballads, then I'm sure it'll be great.

I'm 90% sure we'll be getting a 21/25/Unorthodox Jukebox out of record from her.

God, if this album is filled with songs like "The Trouble with Love," "Why Don't You Try," "Walk Away," "Bad Reputation," this will be her best album by far.

I'd be surprised also if this record ends up being that comparable to anything in her past discography. Certainly it won't be a radical deviation, but I have the feeling we're in for something fresh. Kelly wouldn't be this excited if she were planning a record full of songs she had already sung.
