Kelly Clarkson has been flirting with country music since her time on American Idol. But within the last few years, her love for country has exploded: She recorded a hit duet with Jason Aldean in 2010, got engaged to Reba McEntire's stepson last year and dropped a honky-tonk take on a wedding tune, "Tie It Up," this summer.
Now it looks like Clarkson's sideline hobby will turn into a full-time occupation after the original Idol finishes her current tour and releases her upcoming Christmas album, Wrapped In Red.
"We've made almost a whole record," Clarkson told Albany, NY's GNA radio. "We haven't finished because I'm on tour, but we've made a whole record I'll end up releasing."
But don't fret, fans of Kelly the Pop Diva: She isn’t make this a permanent career change.
"With Jewel and Sheryl Crow, they kinda quit in pop and came over to country," Clarkson said. "I love both. I don’t necessarily know if I have one foot in it and one foot in the other."
That's a relief. Because the Kidz Bop Kids desperately need Clarkson's pop music.
Actually this will probably come after her pop album, she said we should get a lead single for the pop album in Q1 but we'll see whether that actually happens....
I think 2 albums is a good idea, much better she keeps it separate then has an album of mixed stuff.
That means an even longer wait for her next pop album.
Hopefully it's more "Don't You Want to Stay" than "Don't Rush" or "Tie It Up."
ready to hear it, tie it up is great.
