Kelly Clarkson

Kelly Clarkson is releasing the title track from her fourth album, "All I Ever Wanted", which was originally written and performed by Oklahoma natives, Aranda.

The groovy, funky tune is a scathing love song on a "damaged relationship full of repeated forgiveness and second chances".

This album is Clarkson's second one to hit at number one on the Billboard 200 and also features other hit singles such as "My Life Would Suck Without You", "I Do Not Hook Up" and "Already Gone".

Kelly is also working on a new album to be released sometime this fall or winter. She describes the sound as really different and unlike anything she's ever done before. "It's almost like Garbage-meets-pop-meets-Muse. It's a little different." Can't wait for that!

Before I let you go, here's a clip of the new song, "All I Ever Wanted". Enjoy!

Back in November we told you that Kelly Clarkson announced working on her follow up album to 2009's, "All I Ever Wanted". Now she's out to prove that she isn't just a talented pop star, but that she can also rock out! Earlier this month she told Atlanta radio station Q100 what's in store for the next era of her music.

"We're already working on it but it's probably not going to hit until, like, the fourth quarter of next year — around Christmas next year. There's still some like singer/songwriter stuff, but there's ... I don't know. It's almost like Garbage-meets-pop-meets-Muse. It's a little different."

Clarkson may be interested in a totally different genre, but in the end it could very well change all together. "I don't know how it's going to end up. Who knows? It always ends up being something completely different."

Leaks of the new material all seem to come from a You Tuber during a sound check or pre-show during her recent North American tour. Some of these include covers from Taylor Swift, U2, Elvis Presley, Rolling Stones as well as her own work. Is Kelly ready to shed her American Idol skin and become a full out rocker chick?  We will definitely keep you informed!

Before we go, check out a new song below called "Far From Home"!

Hot off the heels of her March 2009 release of "All I Ever Wanted", Kelly Clarkson recently announced on October 29th during an interview with Chicago's Kiss FM. Clarkson has stated that it will be really different than what she has previously done and fans may expect it to be released sometime late next year.

The Idol's latest album, "All I Ever Wanted", has already sold almost as many copies as "My December" in just six months of its release. It has also generated a total of three Top 20 singles whereas "December", unfortunately only produced one.

What else is happening in the KC world? Kelly has just announced a New Zeland and Australian tour. She'll be hitting the land down under starting as early as April 2010 with special opening act, Eric Huchinson. All tickets for this tour will go on Sale November 12th at 9am!

Howdy there Nimrods, how are you doing?

Well kids it may be back to school time, but here are three incredible tours that will keep you rocking out! These artists have new music and have stepped up to bring you one hell of an autumn rock season!

Paramore hits the road in support of their third studio album, "Brand New Eyes". The group will kick things off late September at the Fox Theater in Pomona, CA, and will end early November in their hometown of Nashville, TN! Opening acts are yet to be announced so we'll have more information as it becomes available.

As we previously discussed back in July, Idol queen Kelly Clarkson will begin her All I Ever Wanted Tour in support of her fourth album of the same name. Kellyofficial.com has stated that she'd be ending her current round of carnival tours on September 12th and begin her U.S. tour early October. You can also expect to see The Veronicas and Parachute as her opening acts! Sounds awesome!

Last but not least, rockers "Brand New" are coming to a town near you to show off their new LP called, "Daisy". They'll start things off September 16th at the Puyallup Fair and Events Center in Washington and will conclude their last show on November 28th at the Nassau Coliseum in New York!

Hello again, welcome back to Nimrod Street!

The amazingly talented, Kelly Clarkson has completed the video for "Already Gone", the third video off her latest album "All I Ever Wanted". The ex-Idol gave fans an exclusive sneak peak on her website KellyOfficial.com! 

Looking beautiful in some fancy shmancy gowns, it is by far her most elegant video to date. It reminds me of  a cross between the videos for "The Trouble With Love Is" and "Miss Independent" from the album, "Thankful".

What makes this video cool is that she's accompanied by a room full of invisible musicians, therefore giving the illusion of  instruments floating in mid-air. It comes complete with a variety ranging from a piano, a harp, violins and cellos! To top it off, you'll be dazzled by her shiny jewelry which sparkles at every glance giving this vid that extra glow!

As for those of you wondering when the clip will hit your television sets, it'll premiere sometime this week. Be sure to sign yourselves up for the Kelly Clarkson newsletter to be alerted when the video will air.

On top of this, Ms. Clarkson will embark on a North American tour starting October 2nd, 2009. Supporting acts will be sister duo, The Veronicas and upcoming rockers, Parachute!

You can betcha it's a good year to be this American Idol!
