Kelly_Clarkson_-_All_I_Ever_Wanted-2009-(SPLIT TRACKS)

Due for release on 09/03/2009

American Idol Kelly Clarkson returns with her fourth studio album, All I Ever Wanted. Seamlessly combining pop-rock riots with bright and blistering ballads, this perfectly produced pop album showcases the multiple Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter's powerful and distinctive voice with a shattering collection of sensational smash hits.

Since being crowned American Idol champion in 2002 Kelly Clarkson has become known for having one of the strongest voices of her generation. Demanding attention with her soulful tones, the Texan youngster, whose vocal ability is regularly compared to songstress Mariah Carey, has built an illustrious career belting out palpable country infused rock-pop anthems. All I Ever Wanted sees no change to her award winning style. From the opening track of latest single 'My Life Would Suck Without You' to the stormy Keri Noble cover 'If No One Will Listen', Kelly blasts out sing along hooks over guitar led, synth-pop layered beats to show-stopping effect. Whilst the high-octane opener progressively moves from its plucking guitar intro to a cymbal-crashing finale without dropping tempo, its successor 'I Do Not Hook Up', co-written by controversial star Katy Perry, alters its speed and breaks frequently to compliment Kelly's hearty gasps and joyful tone. Despite co-writing the majority of the album herself, Kelly has additionally called upon the help of OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder. As well as co-producing the album, the highly sought after contributor offers his songwriting services on the belting ballad 'Impossible' and the electro-laced 'If I Can't Have You'. Optimising Kelly's vocal range to full affect, the tracks brood with intensity and grow into emotion-filled epics that much like her Top 10 hit 'Because Of You' leave a memorable mark on the listener.

Kelly Clarkson's voice is phenomenal, and unlike most with a vocal ability as impressive as hers, she pushes the boundaries to the limit. Not content with just belting out ambitious heart-felt ballads, Kelly touches on raggedy rock numbers and gives us a true sense of her personality through her carefully controlled vocals. Showcasing her abilities as a multi-talented singer-songwriter, All I Ever Wanted is an edgy pop record that will delight Kelly Clarkson admirers of all ages.
