Kelly Clarkson’s Rockin’ Side To Show On New CD

MTV News reports that although Kelly Clarkson’s debut, ‘Thankful’, struck a chord with a blend of dance pop and balladry, she’s been singing other genres of music since before she was encouraged to audition for ‘American Idol’. “I’ve already written my second record, actually,” Kelly said recently. “And right after touring I’m taking a little time off, and then I’ll jump right back in the studio and get that out hopefully around Christmastime.” Kelly wrote most of the material herself with some assistance from former Evanescence guitarist Ben Moody. “It’s like the first CD in the sense that it’s versatile, but it’s more into the rock,” Clarkson said. “It’s more into the soulful roots, and it’s just a little bit deeper, so it’s pretty cool.” Read more.
