2022 – The Year of Kelly Clarkson?
Kelly Clarkson hopped on Instagram live last week to wish her fans a Happy New Year, and answer some questions. In the revealing live, she mentioned that she wants to rerecord some of her classic songs, and even hinted that she may be leaving The Voice.
Between takes of The Kelly Clarkson Show, the singer hopped on Instagram live to answer questions from her fans. While answering questions, she revealed some opportunities that might be on her horizon. One of the most notable things she shared during this segment was that she would love to re-record her older songs. After giving Taylor Swift the idea to re-record her catalog, she seems to be on board with her own music.
“I think it’s interesting about doing that later in life is that one, I personally feel like my voice is stronger than it was when I was 19, It should be, I mean I hope so like after working hard for 20 years it should have gotten a little better,” Clarkson said. “I feel like my range is bigger and it’s just a different voice so I think it would be interesting to re-record some of those songs that I love, or even some of those hits that I actually can’t listen to.”
She claimed that she normally gets along with producers, but there are some experiences that have held her back from listening to her own tracks. The singer explained that some producers can be perfectionists, so she almost felt trapped in the studio with them in the past.
“I would like to, I think that would be fun to do at this stage of my life, with this voice now I think that would be really cool,” she continued.
Hinting at Leaving The Voice?
During the next part of Clarkson’s live video she talked about her goals for 2022. There was one answer that could’ve been taken in multiple different ways. She was asked, the place I want to visit the most in 2022. The singer began by saying she wants to go to her home and the beach. She then went on to talk about the importance of her family and kids.
“I’ve decided this year there’s just going to be a couple changes for me that I can’t say here, but there’s a couple things happening and I’ve been able to make more time just for me and my kiddos and still be able to work,” Clarkson said. “Just where we can get away on weekends and really do some fun stuff with my kids.”
A lot of fans thought she meant that she was going to hang up her hat on The Voice. Considering how much time and effort that goes into the show, it makes sense that she would want to spend more time with her family.
New Album on the Way?
At the end of the live Clarkson acknowledged that there are a few different things happening for her in 2022. Clarkson was very vague in relation to what is on the rise for her. The only thing she really announced is her goal to release a new record in the new year.
“I’ll give you a hint, one is something people have been asking for, for quite some time,” she said. “The other is, well also something people have been asking for, for a few years now, that’s no secret… I do hope to get a record out this year. There’s been a lot going on in my life… I wanted my life to be a little more steady before jumping into a giant project.”
She shared that she has a ton of music she’s been writing for the past few years. Then, she noted that there is another thing she’s doing that’s “kind of cool.”
“Then there’s something else that’s different that well I can’t discuss but it’s going to happen and it’s pretty big,” Clarkson ended.
