New Kelly Clarkson Video for "Already Gone"

Clarkson Teams Up with Video Mastermind Joseph Kahn

The success Kelly Clarkson's latest album All I Ever Wanted has not matched her blockbuster record Breakaway. However, she's doing all she's ever wanted making solid records that still score several hits using her passionate writing style and her monumental vocals. Her first single from this record, "My Life Would Suck Without You," made the biggest leap to No. 1 in Billboard history and the second single "I Do Not Hook Up" has made a fair impact on radio. While the later was written by pop star Katy Perry, it has failed to take off and is only a moderate hit for Clarkson (the video however is topping VH1's weekly countdown on and off).

That could all change with her upcoming third single, "Already Gone," written by Clarkson herself and produced by Ryan Tedder. While the song may resemble listeners of Beyonce's "Halo" in the opening riff, what will overpower those comparisons is Clarkson's likeability factor as well as heartbreaking lyrics. Tedder co-wrote both tracks. However, Clarkson had lyrically written her version while Beyonce barely had a hand in it after "demanding" a track like Clarkson's. Kelly Clarkson's penned song is a tear-jerking ballad with haunting vocals of having to leave someone. "Already Gone" sums up a previous relationship Clarkson had where it just couldn't and wouldn't work, no matter what road they took, someone of the two had to leave and it would be her. It had to be her more so because of her high profile career that prohibits her from making enough time for a relationship.
