Kelly Clarkson Says Next Album Will Be 'Really Different'

'American Idol' alum is looking to release new LP next fall.

Kelly Clarkson's post-"American Idol" career has been full of surprises, and judging from a recent interview with Chicago radio station Kiss FM 103.5, her next album may contain even more - like a departure from her signature rock/pop sound.

 

"Yeah, we're already working on it," she told DJ Ty Bentli. "We tour throughout 2010 overseas and then we actually are probably going to have released the record in the fall of 2010," Clarkson said of next year's agenda.

 

Aside from writing some of her own songs, the singer is currently penning tracks for other artists, noting that she sometimes keeps the tracks for herself if she really likes them.

 

"What's really weird is right now I've got a really cool [music]publisher I work with that has hooked me up with a lot of different writers that do a lot of tracks and stuff," she said. "So we've been writing for other artists but then I end up liking it so much that I can't give them away, but they're really different. The next record is probably going to be really different."

 

Clarkson did not specify which artists she's been writing for. And while the "American Idol" alum is heavily involved in the creative process, she did confess that her hectic schedule can sometimes interfere with how much she actually gets to write on a record.

 

"If I end up liking stuff that I've done I'll include it, but if I like other stuff better then I'll just have more of that. Sometimes you're just more inspired, I guess, and especially if you have records that come out real close together, it might be more other people's songs because there's not enough time to write and sing and perform and do everything," she said.

 

The North American leg of Clarkson's All I Ever Wanted Tour ends in New Orleans on December 13, and the singer begins her lengthy overseas jaunt - which is scheduled to cover Europe, Australia and New Zealand over 10 weeks - in England on February 7.

Great news.

Sounds exciting!! as long as its not country :puke2:

I'm excited and worried about this. If it's too radically different, I may end up hating it. Could that really be possible with a Kelly album?

could be a really good or really bad thing, time will tell

I think she will partially stick to her own sound, as she always has a little bit. New influences are always good, as long as it's not country :lol:

I was talking about this with my friend yesterday that since she may be working with Danja, we might get a slutty Kelly :lol: I want her to go Linkin Park/Evanescene pl0x.

Come on. She sooo won't go slutty. She hasn't got the body for that :lol:

Walk Away Kelly :wub: OOFFF.

Im a bit confused about kellys last 2 studio album, breakaway was huge sucess then the 2 folow ups just havnt done great and i really think its down to th efact they were never promoted properly, i really think she needs to focus on how the album will be promoted as who ever is behind the promotional tools for her album should be shot in my opinion.

She did kinda try that with My December, but I think she could go for that properly this time and perfect it, and maybe pull it off more convincingly... I like Kelly's dark side.

After the whole My December mess, she dropped her management and signed on to Reba's management team and now her husband does all the PR stuff... Done alright at the start but now its kinda :/ Especially away from America.. Also whoever decided it was ok for her to move to arenas was high.

Oooh, exciting. ^_^
