The guys at MuuMuse.com LOOOVE Kelly.
They met her a few months back at the Confide and Conquer event. There's a pic of them w/her at the end of their review: http://www.muumuse.com/2011/05/a-mom...ml/#more-18770
Before they uploaded the MKIA review he tweeted:
@MuuMuse (Bradley Stern)

That review is pretty good! Started off it had me worried, but they really brought it together. Worried me when he said kind of like Just Missed The Train. I do love that song, but IDK just wasn't feeling that.  4.5/5 though!!!!!!

WE HAVE OUR FIRST REVIEW OF MR. KNOW IT ALL!!!
First of all, let go of your expectations: “Mr. Know It All” is not the grand return of Yell-y Clarkson.
Considering both the song’s sassy title and lyrics–which Ms. Clarkson neatly wrote out on lined paper for us earlier today–the lead single from her upcoming fifth studio album Stronger might give off the impression that “Mr. Know It All” is another dance-y pop-rock kiss-off anthem a la “Since U Been Gone” or “I Do Not Hook Up.” It’s not.
Instead, Clarkson keeps the throaty howls in check on “Mr. Know It All,” a gorgeous return to form to the soulful sound of Idol‘s greatest export.
The singer confidently croons above gently strumming guitars and a tripping, mid-tempo drum beat taken directly from the songbooks of classic ’90′s singer-songwriter chicks (for reference, consult Alanis Morrissette‘s Jagged Little Pill or Donna Lewis‘smash hit, “I Love You Always Forever”–sans the saccharine sweet quality of Lewis’ voice.). Actually, it’s quite similar to the beat of Clarkson’s own “Just Missed The Train” off of Thankful–my personal favorite!
Apart from the beat, the song still sounds quite contemporary: In fact, it’s very similar in structure and melody to Bruno Mars “Just The Way You Are.”
The song’s chorus is an especially gorgeous lift-off from the verses, as the tripping beat breaks away (Clarkson pun!) and gives way to a beautiful, soaring moment of bright piano chords and an insanely catchy melody: The phrase “‘Cause baby, you don’t know a thing about me” has been swirling ’round my brain for the entire day, and there’s no sign of it stopping anytime soon.
It’s no surprise that the song’s a total ear-worm either, given that “Mr. Know It All” was produced and penned by some of the industry’s greatest songwriting titans, including Brian Kennedy (Kid Sister‘s “Daydreaming” and Rihanna‘s “Fire Bomb”–two incredibly MuuMuse Approved songs!), Ester Dean (Rihanna, Katy Perry) and Brett James (Carrie Underwood, Leona Lewis).
So, to conclude: Melodies for days a la Thankful, a kind of lyrical angst that falls somewhere between Breakaway and My December, and the radio friendly restraint of All I Ever Wanted (you know, without that forced Clive Davis-approved pop-rock gloss.)
While I certainly wouldn’t call the song as immediate as her biggest radio hits to date (if nothing else because of what we’ve come to expect from Miss Clarkson for the past few years!), “Mr. Know It All” is a gorgeous start of Autumn treat from an artist who more than deserves to begin slaying the charts. A sure-fire smash for the Clarkson? Hell yes!
They gave it 4.5/5 stars!!!!

4.5/5 is actually pretty amazing. <3 the Just Missed the Train comparison. One of my favs. Ugh, I just wanna hear this song so badly.

Another review! From that guy who had tweeted last week that he was going to write the review, but then later said he couldn't because the label told him to wait or something.

REVIEW: @kelly_clarkson "Mr. Know it All" http://www.free-wired.com/2011/08/re...ow-it-all.html
Mr. Know It All Review
With all the different sounds the multitude of recent Kelly Clarkson leaks have entailed, you'd be forgiven for being a bit confused as to what genre the first American Idol winner has decided to explore with her upcoming fifth studio album, Stronger, due in stores this October. There was the unrelenting alt-rock beat of "Let Me Down", the bubblegum pop/rock of "I Forgive You", and the soulful indie-pop of "Dark Side". But, at least for the first single off the set "Mr. Know it All", Clarkson has ditched the angst-y pop/rock of her previous three albums for a more mature, soulful approach. At least musically speaking. Lyrically, "Mr. Know it All" has Clarkson doing what she does best; not-so-subtly calling an ex-lover out for doing her wrong. This time, however, the bitter lyrics ("I'm livin' my truth withour your lies/Let's be clear, this is goodbye") contrast nicely with the lush, piano-laden beat, making for an interesting (to say the least) composition: on the surface, it might seem like another saccharine-sweet love song, but dig deeper, and you'll find a brash kiss-off that's as full of attitude as it is soulful, melodic chords. In the vocals department, I think it goes without saying that Kelly is truly one of, if not the best vocalist on mainstream radio at the moment. Although she's known for belting quite the high notes, here, she shows restraint that's somehow full of raw emotion. Kelly Clarkson is a true American Idol. All in all, a true return to form for the "Since U Been Gone" singer.

Gurls hold on it may look like we will be getting a Sober prt 2 on the new Already Famous album

Clarkson in Oklahoma
“American Idol” starlet and pop singing sensation Kelly Clarkson has been in Oklahoma. She recently spent time at Norman’s Blackwatch Studios to record with her side project, Already Famous, multiple sources report. She’s been working with Fort Worth musician and producer Will Hunt, who plays on the album.
The work is co-produced by Chad Copelin (at Blackwatch) and Aben Eubanks (who wrote Clarkson’s hit “Sober”), Hunt told dfw.com. No release date has been given for the Already Famous project.
In the meantime, her latest solo album, “Stronger,” will be released on Oct. 25.

I posted this on the AF thread but I'll repost here too, hehe. Gosh we should just stick to 1 thread for everything like they do at Pulse. Feels like we're just repeating everything by having mult. threads. Anywho, repost.......
Because of Aben Eubanks? LOL You do know that's Kelly's guitarist, right? Has been for like 6 years now. He and Kelly have written a lot together like Sober, Maybe, and Ready. He produced Ashley Arrison's album "Hearts On Parade" kinda give you a taste of his style. I would think most of the songs Already Famous recorded is what the girls wrote together.
A few days ago Chad (one of the producers) tweeted:
@chadcopelin (chad copelin)
here's @oddsevans, me, and the intern wrapping up the new @GRO and @alreadyfamous records

She says there will be a song called ‘You Love Me’ on Stronger that’s very “Tina Turner” like. In the past, she’s had to fight for certain songs to be singles, but this time she and the label love them all and will see what people like. “You Love Me” is Kelly’s favorite off the new album. Also, Songwriter Bonnie McKee (“California Gurls”, “Teenage Dream”, “Dynamite”) contributed to the set.
