In the midst of Kelly Clarkson’s divorce, she had a revelation. Contrary to the meaning of her 2015 ballad “Piece by Piece,” which praised her talent-manager ex-husband Brandon Blackstock for restoring her faith in men after her father deserted her as a child, the pop singer realized that no one could truly heal her but herself. “It’s almost too much to put on someone to do that for you, you have to do that yourself,” the pop singer admitted on her talk show in 2020. Said revelation appears on Clarkson’s wistful new song,...

Kelly Clarkson’s skillful covers of Billie Eilish’s “Happier Than Ever” and Radiohead’s “Fake Plastic Trees,” from last year’s Kellyoke EP, hinted at what it might sound like if the singer were to reprise the more rock-oriented sound of her under-appreciated 2007 album My December. Indeed, “Skip This Part,” the opening track from her 10th studio album, Chemistry, takes a page straight from Eilish’s song, with understated verses followed by a doo-wop-inflected hook and a climactic, guitar-driven coda in which Clarkson exorcises her angst: “I feel every break as I realize my fate/I succumb to the taste of betrayal/I try numbing the pain with my sweet mary jane/But I know this escape isn’t stable.”
For the most part, though, Chemistry relies on a familiar mixture of elements from Clarkson’s two previous albums, the pop-centric Piece by Piece and the classic soul-inspired Meaning of Life.

Kelly Clarkson doubled up for her first release of original music in six years. Ahead of her forthcoming album Chemistry, set for release on June 23, the singer has introduced the record with two separate outlooks on two different songs, “Me” and “Mine.”
“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 explained in a statement. “There are many stages of grief and loss on this album. Each song is a different stage and emotional state.
