Sydney, AU. (SONY BMG MUSIC Entertainment) - There's no rest for
Kelly Clarkson. Following her double-Grammy award winning bonanza,
Kelly is back on the road, rocking out around Europe, AND working on material for her third album at the same time. She's also just shot the video for her next single, the fabulous 'Walk Away'.
Kelly Clarkson is one busy lady. Not content with simply playing shows around Europe, she's actually had a recording studio installed in her tour bus and has been writing new songs with her touring band.
"I've been writing with them for the past two years and we finally decided, 'Let's just nail it down. We've got great songs that we've been doing together, why don't we just go ahead,'" Kelly told MTV. "And everybody who has heard them has been loving it, so I'm down. I like doing that. I like keeping it in the family if it's good."
When in Oz recently, Kelly even previewed a new song live, 'Come Here', a soulful rock track that hinted at a new direction she might be taking in the future. She told MTV that she's been changing her tune a little.
"Some of the stuff on the new album is very singer/songwriter, because I love people like Patty Griffin and Ryan Adams," she said. "And then there is other stuff that's real intense rock stuff, more rock than Breakaway. It's going to be a cool album."
Don't be surprised either if you see some interesting Kelly Clarkson collaborations in the future...
"I just ran into the Black Eyed Peas, and I would love to do something with them, that would be cool, just something random," she said. "I ran into Chris Brown earlier today and he was like, 'We should do something together.' I dig him. I like music in general, so I'm always up for anything."
Also look out for Kelly's next video hitting you soon - the clip for 'Walk Away' was recently shot in LA, and it promises to be a bit different to her other clips.
"The last two were a bit darker, so I decided to write a happier treatment," she said. "I usually tell the story, like with 'Hazel Eyes' and the same with 'Because of You,' but this one we wanted to make a bit more fun. I don't want to give it away, but it's a very funny video."
'Walk Away' is in stores March 18. 'Breakaway' is out now
