Kelly Clarkson 'All I Ever Wanted' album

Kelly Clarkson's new album, "All I Ever Wanted" is the perfect new release to prep you for the upcoming summer months. In addition to the single "My Life Would Suck Without You," the album includes other hits that will entice you to sing along. Two sure hits, "Longshot" and "I Do Not Hookup," were written in collaboration with the rising star of pop, Ms. Katy Perry, and her influence is quite obvious. However, Clarkson's passionate voice and angry, spunk spirit give life to the songs in a way Katy Perry could not.

Ryan Tedder, a lyricist who is responsible for Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love" and Beyonce's "Halo," is the creator behind a couple of songs on Clarkson's new album, including "Impossible" and "Already Gone." These pieces, however, do not generate the same kind of excitement as other songs that help display Clarkson's loud, booming voice. Clarkson sounds best not crooning soft R&B ballads, but rather commanding attention with her pop-rock voice while being accompanied by catchy beats.

What is most exciting about the album is the sheer diversity of songs that remind us why we chose Clarkson as the winner of American Idol so long ago. In addition to the bubblegum pink pop songs like "Whyyawannabringmedown" and "Ready," Clarkson includes a handful of numbers that echo the "A Moment Like This" days with their soft ballad-like tempos and lyrics that speak to broken hearts, including "If No One Will Listen" and "Cry." Clarkson successfully crosses genre lines in "All I Ever Wanted," a feat many artists are incapable of accomplishing. In the two weeks since the album's release, "All I Ever Wanted" has remained in the No.1 spot on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart.

The single, "I Do Not Hook Up" impacts Hot Ac on April 13th.
