Kelly Clarkson new album is like Houston meets Carey

Singer Kelly Clarkson says her new album will be a mix of Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.

The songstress is planning to release the album in April next year.

"Listening 2 songs 4 my album we're working on #mariah meets #aretha meets #whitney meets #mefromidoldays meets #2017 meets #yallaintread," Clarkson tweeted.

Recently talking about the album the 34-year-old singer said she always wanted to create something like this.

"It's my favourite thing I've ever done. It's the first time I got to pick my label, because I just got out of my Idol contract.

"I've been dying to make this record since Idol. We're still working on it, but we have a good batch of songs already and I can't wait to sing them live. They're amazing. After having a career for so long, it's so weird that nobody knows [my sound] yet, so it's going to be so good. It's definitely a different chapter," she said.
