Kelly Clarkson Set To Release ‘Greatest Hits – Chapter 1’ Album [PHOTOS]
It has already been a decade since Kelly Clarkson was crowned as the first winner of the hit TV reality show "American Idol." Now, the talented singer announced that she will release her very first greatest hits album compilation in honor of her music career's success.
Detroitnews.com reported that the track list of the upcoming "Greatest Hits - Chapter 1" album has not yet been released. However, it is expected that the album will include Kelly Clarkson's songs that triumphantly conquered the radio and the Billboard Hot 100 such as "Miss Independent," "Since U Been Gone" and "My Life Would Suck Without You."
"It's been a decade now since I won 'American Idol.' Sometimes it feels longer because although it has been exciting, that was a lot of pressure to have as a 19-year-old girl," Clarkson posted on her website. "To own a company, lead an organization as a business woman, and be able to create music I'm proud of has been tough, but inspiring, for me," Clarkson added.
Aside from including her hit songs in the compilation album, Kelly Clarkson will also add three unreleased tracks. One of them is her currently available new single "Catch My Breath" that Kelly Clarkson co-wrote with Jason Halbert and Eric Olson.
"To celebrate the strength and longevity that my fans, friends and family have supported me with, I wrote this song 'Catch My Breath' with one of my best friends that has seen me through everything. This song represents who I've been, what I've felt and where I'm headed as not only an artist but as a 30-year-old that is now smart enough to know that it's time to stop, catch my breath and be proud of not only what has been accomplished but of all the people that have helped me become the woman I am today," Clarkson explained.
"Greatest Hits - Chapter 1" will be released on November 19.
