Kelly Clarkson is officially the queen of creating powerhouse anthems.
Shortly after releasing "Heartbeat Song" from her upcoming album, Piece By Piece, the American Idol winner has blessed us with another single: "Invincible." Co-written by Sia, "Invincible" is yet another blast-at-the-loudest-possible-volume song that will definitely have you bopping your head.
Although it isn't necessarily the fastest song, say like "Since U Been Gone," it will still have you using your lungs at full capacity, especially when you're going through a tough time. Yes, it's one of those tunes.
"I was so afraid, I felt so unsure/ Now I am invincible, another perfect storm," she croons during the chorus, which features a strong orchestra to make her sound even more powerful.
We're not surprised at how strong this song turned out, as Sia's recent work on "Chandelier" and "Elastic Heart" also has our speakers pounding. If "Invincible" is the result of a collaboration between Clarkson and Sia, we can only hope they continue to work together because this is phenomenal.
She also released the title track from her album, which is just as catchy albeit slower. The song tells the story of a man who restored a woman's (hers?) faith in love. This woman can really do no wrong with her vocals and lyrics.
But the "Breakaway" singer revealed on BBC Radio 1 that it was actually pretty difficult to get other singers to work with her on Piece By Piece. Apparently, Sia and John Legend were among the few who agreed.
"I honestly would collaborate with a lot of people, but everyone usually says no," the Grammy-winner admitted. "I'm not kidding you. I have legitimately asked several people that I'm not going to call out, and that's cool, but I don't know."
Brandon Blackstock's wife continued, "I ask good people, I don't want to sing with crap people, so I mean, I ask people who are great vocalists, but I'm not going to point out anyone. I have asked several people…Sometimes I feel like I have the plague, or leprosy, they're like, 'If you get too close…' I don't know."
It turns out that she was just kidding about the whole thing! She tweeted, "Ok, I was making a joke about people not singing with me! The press is really twisting this comment just FYI! No big deal. New story please."
She followed up shortly after with another post, writing, "Obviously my humor is not translating ha! PS my duet with John Legend is coming out tomorrow #collaborationstation."
