Taken from the album thread, but Kelly is popular enough on here to get another topic for her singles.
Apparently titled 'Love So Soft' and we are expecting it to be with us very soon as she is performing on GMA on 8th September!
I forgot to post yday but Sam ofd here told me on ATRL someone said that this is her biggest chance at a hit in years, it was upbeat despite the title with horns featuring, and the thread got taken down so I am thinking the description was true
Oh wow! Really hope we get a clip at least to tide us over until premiere!
Kelly always smashes with her lead singles!!! Yas
The title is intriguing.
SO ready. Love a bit of Kelly
i am SO ready for this. i'll be so let down if it's country-esque though
i know but she somehow always manages to sneak some country in there ha
She filmed the video yesterday and the song is apparently dropping on Thursday 7th...
This is so much sooner than I expected! I knew there were rumours of an April release but I took those with a pinch of salt. My guess would be that the label want to release in Q4 to hopefully try and get some decent Christmas sales! Fingers crossed, I'm so ready for new Kelly!!!! *.*
So excited for this! Apparantley she's going to be channeling 90s Whitney/Mariah, cannot wait to hear it *_*
AllAccess seem to think the song will be going for top 40 radio adds from the 12th Sept! Impacting more or less straight away. Good news
Yassss
A legit source on Pulsemusic is saying that she is also dropping Move You on the same day as well.
OOFT. 2 NEW KELLY TRACKS!?!? I AM NOT READY.
Omg fab, two new Kelly tracks
I am not ready for this omfg
IT'S COMING!

I've only just noticed her new Twitter display picture and she is looking fantastic!!!!
Yaaass, it's great to have it confirmed!
why a Thursday release?
The very small clip has me shook. Like... holy crap.
Looks like Kelly Rowland is on the track.
I'm pretty sure that was one of her backing vocalists and not Kelly.

And just like that, she deweaved everyone in a hundred mile radius with her voice.
Omg she's coming for her Love On The Brain
Is this not called Move You instead? Shes shared a clip on Twitter with the hashtag as well.
I must have not read that properly oops! So ready for the livestream at 11!
If the live clip in her youtube live stream is anything to go by this is going to be MASSIVE
out 6am in the US so should be 11am here!
It's ok on first listen, not as instant as most of her recent singles so we shall see how it grows!
This is excellent! Much better than "Heartbeat Song" and "Mr Know it All" already, it's a lot more soulful than anything she's released since Thankful! It ends abruptly though
Definitely helps it click quicker!
I like it but not as much as her other lead singles on first listen.
It's very Meghan Trainor second era isn't it?
The video is a MASSIVE step up from the last era where she was just sort of there in the videos for Heartbeat Song, Invincible and Piece by Piece, whereas here I'm loving all the different scenes and set ups that are going on. Kelly looking incredible as well
Yesss this is super duper <3 pls smash! The video is magnificent as well.
I'm glad she's put a lot of effort in, but what a mess of a video...it just doesn't mesh well together for me.
Love it
If radio get behind this it'll do well
LOOOOOOOVE
This is by far her weakest lead Really disappointed.
OBSESSED.

Hmmmm
I think this might actually her worst single for me period, let alone lead :/ It's just not growing
The verses are quite catchy but I'm not really feeling those choruses very monotone imo
Love her music.
not super super loving it either on 1st listen
This is FAB. <3
Verses are ok but I don't like the Chorus at all. Not her usual standard but I like the video.
Chorus is rather limp isn't it
I really like it. Took getting used to, but it's really good!
Need to watch the video though!
The video is bonkers, absolutely loving this!
The vid is brilliantly bonkers. Plus she looks so gorgeous, especially in that Belle dress and the blue outfit in the house
I just get so emotional over Kelly. I can see me grinding to this in a club
The video is AMAZING.
The song is... okay. I'll see if it grows.
This is 100% a grower. Her ad-libs are just killing me
I think this is one of my favourite Kelly singles already it's so different in sound but yet so...her.
Sounds good in first listen .
I honestly don't get the "Meghan Trainor era 2" comparisons at all lmao . These lyrics, although hardly ivor novello worthy, are 1000x more mature and far better. I just think it's a bit of a lazy comparison tbh. Meghan didn't invent the doo wop pop sound lmao. (Which this is barely even that tbh)
Also this is majorly growing on me too.
It's not her second era it's her first though, that had that sound. I think I get what Sean means though, this is like a step up from that sound so it's kind of what the follow-up to Title would have been had she not changed it up. It's not terrible because I enjoyed Title but I'm just not finding myself going back to it a lot.
I did admittedly feel a little bit disappointed in the chorus so I think it's like Taylors track where the chorus took time to grow on people whereas initially it wasn't as instant?
Her voice on this is so flawless as always so I think that's really what swooped in my first post about it really (& the OMG Kellys back, slay etc lol)
I'm just happy we got Pink & Kelly back at basically the same time tbh!
Love So Soft is ok.
Actual footage of Kelly slaying everything around me with this
me when Kelly comes on shuffle
I really like this! It is very Meghan Trainor but that's no bad thing imo. I loved Meghan's second era.
I looove Wrapped in Red ... the song - Underneath the tre and the rest is laughable.
Absolutely screaming that "Piece by Piece" is outselling this by almost 10x on iTunes - such a shame that she's overshadowing her own comeback Although that is a tune and deserves a much better peak than #90 or whatever it got.
This has finally hit me, I couldn't leave Kelly out in the cold for too long It's still one of her weakest leads for me but I love them all so it's not a damnation. SUBG, My Life and Never Again are all in my top 40 of all time (maybe NA just outside). As Sean said, I adore the bit where it slows down for the chorus <3
01 Since U Been Gone (of course an ultimate belt it out ANTHEM)
02 My Life... (such anuplifting pop song)
03 Never Again (SO underrated, I love the rockiness to it but I can see why others don't like it and it wasn't the best single, but then nothing on My December was as perfect as the album is)
--------
04 Mr Know It All (again underrated, it was a nice change of pace and I adore it even if Stronger should have been the lead)
05 Catch My Breath (lovely bop, I love it more than I realise when I listen to it)
06 Miss Independent (a tune)
07 Love So Soft
08 Underneath The Treee (I'm not much of a Christmassy person in the first place so Xmas songs suffer in my rankings but this is deffo a fave Xmas song, lovely little song)
09 Heartbeat Song (a bop but I'd have chosen like 4 or 5 songs as the lead over this, although it did well in the UK so it must be doing something right)
Even HS is a 8.5/10 tho oops
Ahhh. So pleased to see it's grown on you! The slowing down before the chorus actually reminds me a fair bit of Adele - Rumour Has It. But I might be making that up as I haven't listened to that song in a while haha.
SLAYED obviously.
Although THAT note, she said in a video on FB today, that she is saving the note for tour and not gonna attempt it when promoing haha. I think it's due to her having to get up early and her throat not being 100% first thing in the morning (but I believe she'd be able to hit that note whether it's 5am or 5pm )
I guess it's insurance too, if she went for that note all the time she might risk damaging her voice. I know Celine Dion pre-reocrds some of the more difficult notes in
a few songs, it's how she's kept her voice so strong. Obviously they can both hit these notes but it's better to be safe.
This....isn't doing well is it?
Love this song, but it sounda so different live
Studio magic
Kelly’s not really been a “peak high to start” since about 2005. I think everyone is more interested in how the album will do anyway.
No shade, but I don't get the surprise every time a female artist over a certain age is snubbed by Radio 1 and Capital. It happens literally 9 times out of 10. At some point you have to start out not expecting Radio 1 or Capital to support them, never mind what level of success or impact they've had before.
It will happen to the likes of Jess Glynne and Ariana Grande one day too, when they're no longer flavour of the month or the age that the big stations arbitraily decide is appropriate for a female pop singer to be and still be cool or relevant.
i think it's less surprise & more disappointment because we were holding out hope that Kelly may be an anomaly (like P!nk).
The problem is the genre - Heartbeat Song was so pop whereas Love So Soft is the opposite and isn't suited for R1, really.
Love So Soft IS suited to R1 I’d say?
So this has actually done pretty decently in America!
Billboard Hot 100:
47. Kelly Clarkson - Love So Sot (+10) [NEW PEAK]
