After lots of false starts (including numerous leaks of various tracks), the original American Idol Kelly Clarkson premiered her new single Mr Know It All. The track shows a very mature Clarkson, shying away from the obvious pop/rock genre she's played with in the past.
Mr Know It All has been compared to P!nk doing a Bruno Mars number - but I couldn't disagree more. It's strong, unique and very reminiscent of an early Melissa Etheridge. All in all, it's very impressive.
Listen to the full audio below.
In addition to the track launching worldwide yesterday, Clarkson took time out to provide snippets of information about her upcoming fifth studio album, Stronger.
+ Her favourite track she's ever written, You Love Me, will feature on the album. Clarkson tells us it's a happy song with a dark twist to it.
+ She cites Stronger's influences as Prince, Tina Turner and Sheryl Crow; and the album features a duet with another female American Idol alumni (my guess, Carrie Underwood?)
+ A video for Mr Know It All has just been completed in Nashville.
+ And last but not least, the album is titled Stronger as it's about female empowerment. Well, we could've guessed that part love.
Mr Know It All will be released 30 August, with Stronger released 25 October [iTunes]
