Pickup available at Appleton Store
Usually ready in 2-4 days
Grammy-winning global superstar Kelly Clarkson ushers in her highly anticipated tenth studio album Chemistry with the double singles "Mine" and "Me." The pair of songs perfectly compliment and contrast, showcasing the lyrical complexity featured on the project three years in the making. Soaring vocals and a mounting instrumental find Clarkson lyrically honest-as-ever on "Mine," chanting "go ahead and break my heart, that's fine" before craving karmic retribution. Meanwhile the focus shifts inward on "Me," a triumphant anthem of self-empowerment co-written with Grammy-nominated rising star Gayle. Culminating with the lyric "don't need to need somebody when I've got me," the song's message proves equally intimate and universal. "We decided to release ‘Mine' and ‘Me' at the same time because I didn't want to release just one song to represent an entire album, or relationship," Clarkson says. "There are many stages of grief and loss on this album. Each song is a different stage and emotional state." She adds, "Having chemistry with someone is an incredible, and overwhelming, feeling. It's like you have no choice in the matter. You are just drawn to each other. This can be good and bad. This album takes you down every path that chemistry could lead you down."
