I think we can all agree that Kelly Clarkson's career didn't exactly flourish after she told Clive Davis to suck it...well, not in so many words, but I do believe she pretty much compared him to a living fossil. However, you gotta commend a girl who is passionate about her work. I wasn't exactly on board with the sort of angry rocker she tried to become on her My December effort but, like I said, her determination to stick to what she loves is definitely admirable.
What's great is that the early buzz surrounding her next album has been stellar, with people like One Republic frontman Ryan Tedder calling it "her best album yet." And yank-my-doodle-it's-a-dandy, MJ's Big Blog is reporting that the Chris Daughtry duet is, indeed, true and the track is called "Temporary".
The lucky folks over at Pop Justice were able to get a sneak peek of Kelly's new single, "My Life Would Suck Without You," over at Sony yesterday, and this is what they had to say:
What's it like? Well, you cannot escape the fact that the intro is so similar to 'Since U Been Gone' you will probably think you are indeed listening to 'Since U Been Gone'. Lyrically the song does actually lend itself to thoughts of being a sort of 'Since U Been Gone Part Two' and one could, at a push, see it picking up that song's story four years on with Kelly realising that despite the earlier song's defiant howl of independence she does, in fact, want her ex back. 'My Life Would Suck Without You' is about the fella returning tail between legs ("guess this means you take back what you said before, like how much you wanted anyone but me") and a relationship starting up again and being quite jolly in spite of all the previous nonsense.
The chorus goes "we belong together now, forever united here somehow, you got a piece of me and honestly my life would suck without you". Except it's not just "my life would suck without you", it's "my life (MY LIFE!) would suck (WOULD SUCK!) without you". "I know that I've got issues but you're pretty messed up too" is another good line; we also like the middle eight bit with "being with you is so dysfunctional, I really shouldn't miss you, but I can't let you go".
Um, okay, so they're not the most profound of lyrics, but you can bet your bootie I nod my head when I hear "I Like Big Butts" come on the radio. At least this song has a deeper meaning...kind of.
In summary, the article said, "The song is better than anything Kelly did before 'Since U Been Gone' and it's also better than anything she's done since 'Since U Been Gone', so it should keep people happy. It is a pop song."
