Kelly co-wrote “Nobody Love” alongside Rickard Goransson and Max Martin, the Swedish songwriter and producer who has ruled the Billboard Hot 100 for over a decade with a string of No. 1 singles for Britney Spears, Katy Perry, P!nk, and Taylor Swift, to name a few. “When I went in to work with Max, the first thing he said was, ‘I want to make the song that you want.’ He wasn’t trying to force-feed me anything. It was very collaborative. He asked me what I thought about every single decision. That’s why so many artists like working with him, because he really pulls out your style and polishes it up and makes it easy for people to digest.”
Martin serves as executive producer on Kelly’s upcoming full-length debut album, which Capitol Records will release this spring. She also co-wrote with such vets as Savan Kotecha, Toby Gad, Claude Kelly, Chuck Harmony, Wolf Cousins, and Ed Sheeran, whose show at Madison Square Garden Kelly opened in November 2013. The album, she says, does not depart from her soulful roots. “And I’m not moving into just pop songs. It’s like a marriage between that soulful urban thing and a mainstream pop vibe. It was hard to get to that place, but once we had ‘Nobody Love,’ I knew we’d cracked the code. It felt seamless.

Over the past year and a half, Kelly has sold out shows in several major cities (including The Troubadour and The Roxy in Los Angeles, the Bowery Ballroom and Gramercy Theatre in New York City, and Bush Hall in London), headlined a nine-city sold-out U.S. tour, and supported Jewel, Ed Sheeran, and Sam Smith on tour. She began working on the songs for her new album after wrapping up her performance schedule and is excited for fans to hear “Nobody Love,” which she describes as a “breath of fresh air to sing.” “The song is about how everyone is always on the run, looking for that next thing,” she says. “We’re always trying to find something better. For me, the song is saying to someone that we have something that’s not going anywhere and it’s nice not to have to go running around looking for that love. Some people might not pick up on that, but when I perform the song, I channel those types of feelings.”
“I’m excited to perform again,” she adds. “I really miss it. I’ve been in a cave writing, and sometimes I forget how to interact with people because I’ve been in studio-land. I’m excited to get out and play for people. That’s always the dream.”
