97 Words: “red flag collector” by Kelly Clarkson

June 9, 2023

In 97 Words·Kelly Clarkson·Music·Reviews

Ever-proud Texan Kelly Clarkson takes us through the Wild Wild West en route to post-divorce “high road livin'” on the latest offering from “chemistry.” Of the five songs released so far, “red flag collector” by far has the most sting. Where last week’s “i hate love” was bittersweet, “red flag collector” is triumphantly bitter. Sprinkled with just enough “yeehaw”-inducing musical

Review: “i hate love (feat. Steve Martin)” by Kelly Clarkson

Featured·Kelly Clarkson·Music·Reviews

“Opposites attract” is an old cliché, but it’s true… contradictions and contrasts are what make life more interesting. On Kelly Clarkson’s latest instant-grat track, that adage holds true thanks to her unexpected collaboration with Steve Martin and the oxymoron of its title: “i hate love.” The seemingly odd pairing works

Mariah Carey, Master of “Bringin’ On the Heartbreak”

For over three decades, Mariah Carey has cranked out record-breaking number-one hits that set towering standards and were masterclasses in vocal expertise. Besides gifting us with her own self-penned classics, like “Fantasy” and “We Belong Together” (and soooo many more), the songstress has also lent her voice to the classics

97 Words: Kelly Clarkson’s “favorite kind of high”

May 19, 2023

In 97 Words·Kelly Clarkson·Music·Reviews

Cascading guitar licks, thumping bass, pounding percussion and rousing runs— these are the elements that compose a Kelly Clarkson uptempo. Her latest, “favorite kind of high,” is not a new experiment. The third single from Clarkson’s forthcoming album “chemistry” follows a pair of emotive ballads and serves to reenergize the era. On

Shrouded and still beneath a hooded, purple cape, Janet Jackson’s presence alone caused the crowd to erupt at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Monday night. Ms. Jackson opened her “Together Again” tour by reintroducing us to the side that she doesn’t “hide but might never show” via a performance

With a musical catalog as expansive as Mariah Carey’s, casual listeners will surely come across a multitude of hits they’ll know by heart. But in the mix of the singer’s bag of chart-toppers, holiday classics, deep cuts, and remixes, there are also a handful of underrated singles that missed the

With “Endless Summer Vacation” Miley Cyrus Turns a Skeptic Into an Admirer

“Endless Summer Vacation” is the first time I have ever cared to listen to a Miley Cyrus album in full. Growing up, I generally avoided her. My love for music began in the 90s via Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, and Destiny’s Child. I considered myself wise beyond my years when

I was just shy of 13 when Madonna released American Life, and it became the first Madonna album in my ever-growing music collection. I got my copy two weeks after it was released, for my 13th birthday, alongside The Very Best of Cher and a brand new 5-CD, 2-cassette stereo

I’m not a patient man, but I’ve mellowed in my 30’s. In the heyday of leaks, I wasn’t the plug, but damn if I wasn’t the intermediary. I knew exactly where and when to find them. It was like clockwork. That was a good decade ago. Nowadays I don’t feel
