if you know me, you know my severe and deep love for kelly. her latest album was released on friday. and dont worry, i am gonna BUY it when it comes out. i cannot remember the last time i actually bought i CD. i think it might have been carrie underwood's carnival ride. but when kelly's comes out on march 10th, i will be on the bus after class to target. woo.
kk.
so ima dissect the cd song by song.
lets do this!
1. my life would suck without you- it has you hooked from the beginning. it sounds a little like since u been gone for the first couple of seconds until it enters the actual song. while, and ive said this before, im not too fond of the lyrics, this song has completely grown on me. i really can just sing and dance to this. freaking catchy man.
2. i do not hook up- a katy perry song originally. i love the message of this song. im conservative, i know. but im also not. i really am gonna try and follow the message of this song, hard as it can be. the actual song is completely catchy. actually, most of this album is catchy. i cant decide whos version i like more, katys or kellys. i think it might be a tie. deng it. deng katy perry.
3. cry- i love love love this song. kelly has said in interviews how this is probably the most personal song on the album and i can see why. listening to it, idk. it puts you at peace. but it also makes you a little sad. and it so sounds like it could be on a country album. im really waiting for the day when she puts out a country album. then, i can die. her vocals are pure and amazing. simple.
4. dont let me stop you- so i dont like the first 3o seconds. but after that, i love it. i love the verse before the chorus. its freaking amazing. her voice sounds raw when she sings it. and the lyrics. deng. maybe im just a sucker for kelly clarkson? quien sabe. loveeee it.
5. all i ever wanted- this song is possibly my favorite on the album. its originally a song by the band aranda. ive listened to both versions, i prefer kellys, i think mostly because im completely partial to female voices. it has an interesting intro, kellys voice stays in the lower range for most of the song, making it easier to sing along to. the chorus breaks out, its kinna funny, you can almost dance to it. almost. to me, the song has a dark and almost seductive element to it, but it might just be the key that the verse is sang in.
6. already gone- im not sure i like that "gone" is in the title because she already has a song called "gone." but oh well. they sound entirely different. this song is much slower. its nice and the vocals are well crafted, but other than that, its nothing outstanding to me. not bad, but not great. however, i like it just the same.
7. if i cant have you- i love the sound of this song, very punk-pop. the instrumental part is catchy. and kelly is lucky she has a voice that can do anything. however, i dont think these are the kinds of songs she should be singing. but aside from that, its still great and fun to listen to. and the bridge/collision reminds me of madonna circa confessions of a dancefloor. love it.
8. save you- one of the slower songs on the album. if it werent for the experimental, piano-driven bridge, i dont think itd really stick out too much.
9. whyyawannabringmedown- yes, its all one word. not one of my favorites. i know kelly can do any genre of music and be amazing, which she is. however, this song is eh for me. its fun and loud and funky, but something about it just isnt clicking for me.
10. long shot- another song originally recorded by miss katy perry. i think i actually like katys version more, as much as that pains me to say. its a close race, but katys voice fits the song better. katys version has her voice going in and out, up and down more. since kelly has more range, theres less of that. but the going in and out, is what makes katys songs so fun to sing. but overall, its a fun song. catchy. freaking katy perry and her catchy music.
11. impossible- it reminds me of something. im just not sure what. and its bugging the fuck out of me. madonna again perhaps? i have no clue. this bugs. but anyways. good song. nothing outstanding.
12. ready- this is only song of the four demos that was leaked that was put on the cd. i like the demo version better. its more organic. the final version just seems generic and very very off. it sounds like it was made in the sixties. i agree with another blogger who said it couldve belonged on mandy moore's wild hope album.
13. i want you- very retro feel. freaking love it. reminds me of american dreams. i love the bridge and the chorus. everything. i want you. ha. love it.
14. if no one else will listen- it was orginally a song by keri noble. im not sure why its on the album. im not quite sure it belongs on there. i love the message of the song, but i feel like it ages kelly. her vocals are perfect, but its kinna a debbie to close this fun album with. oh well.
favorites: all i ever wanted, dont let me stop you, i want you, cry
