Kelly Clarkson says her 10th album, “Chemistry,” is “coming soon”

Attention Kelly Clarkson fans, this is not a drill! On March 26, the “Breakaway” singer announced that her long-awaited 10th studio album will be released later this year, and it also has a title. Clarkson revealed that her new album will be called “Chemistry” in an Instagram video, where she also shared details about the inspiration behind her new songs.

“I’ve been working on this project for almost three years now. I wasn’t sure if I was going to release it, but I am. The album is called ‘Chemistry,'” she said. “I was trying to find a word – it could be one of the songs on the album – that really described the whole thing. I didn’t want everyone to think I just came out with an ‘I’m mad’ or ‘I’m sad,’ just those two emotions. This album is definitely the arc of an entire relationship.”

Clarkson previously told Variety in a 2022 interview that her next album was inspired by her divorce from music producer Brandon Blackstock. The former couple, who share two children together (River Rose and Remington Alexander), announced their split in late 2020.

“That whole relationship shouldn’t be reduced to one thing,” she continued. “There’s good, bad and ugly things going on. ‘Chemistry’ can be really amazing, sexy, cool, fun, but it can also be really bad for you. That’s why I called it ‘Chemistry.'” I thought It’s a perfect title to describe the whole album.”

The lead singer of “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)” added that the album is “coming soon” and that “music is coming out even sooner”. She said, “I’m really excited about it. When I say soon, I mean really soon. I’m nervous, but I’m excited to release it.”

Clarkson previously told Variety that “Chemistry” was an “important” album to her because it helped her process her emotions after her divorce. “This is an important album,” she said. “I’m working on this in therapy. I sometimes have a hard time putting into words what I’m feeling, so music helps me. It’s just been very healing.”
