Kelly Clarkson has been dropping hints about a big announcement by performing classic covers on Facebook Live all week. Now she has confirmed plans for a new album in 2017.
Since Monday, Kel has turned out versions of Otis Redding‘s “These Arms of Mine,” Foreigner’s “I Want To Know What Love Is,” Aretha Franklin’s “Giving Him Something He Can Feel” and Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy” — songs that were all released on Atlantic Records, which just signed her.
She’s also posted four fan-requested covers on her website for instant download. Included are her unique takes on Coldplay’s “Fix You,” Radiohead’s “Creep,” Etta James’s “I’d Rather Go Blind” and India Arie’s “Ready for Love.” In the future, fans should visit the site the last Friday of every month for an opportunity to receive new and exclusive content.
