Let's hope we get a Max song on the album. The single is co-written by Kara Dioguardi.

Too poppy for my taste, I expected something different.

Greg Kurstin, please correct this mistake with one of your songs.

Boring production  :( well the rest of the song is also pretty boring..

I checked the info, and it's produced by Greg Kurstin.

To me, it's the melody. I hate the "up-up-up" part.

I think the song is catchy.. no pop genius and no surprise really.. but still a good song and I think it'll climb massively on the top 100.

The instrumental track, in case you're interested in listening.

Like the song. Already Top 40, and looks like it will be rising based on the metrics.

I don't think there's gonna be any max martin track on this album, she would have released it before Heartbeat. This song sounds so weak and average, wasn't she recording a folk album?

Actually, when RCA sent out the brief (roughly a year ago) they requested tracks with an "80's/New Wave" feel. That was the main focus at-least.

Post by: turnaround on February 12, 2015, 07:53:34 PM
So they were searching for songs instead of her co-writing songs?
I imagine we will have lots of genres. Country, pop, pop rock etc..

A new preorder single is available on iTunes.

Written by Warren Felder, Sia Furler, Steve Mostyn, Jesse Shatkin.
Sounds like Greg Kurstin or Jesse Shaktin.

it has that same creaky bass as Chandelier so I guess it's Greg on the beat hoe, especially as it is a KC song.
So Steve Mostyn and Oak are going pop now, why not!

Nice chords
Title: Re: Kelly Clarkson - New album and single
Post by: j.fco.morales on February 23, 2015, 11:52:54 PM
It has the same type of drums and overall feel.

And Oak is doing a lot of pop stuff lately, Benny ;)

Edit: It's the new single. Produced by Greg Kurstin & Jesse Shaktin, just like I said.

How is working with Piece by Piece producer Greg Kurstin different from working with Dr. Luke or Max Martin?
I think that's a bit unfair just because I already had a career when Greg knew me. When we got introduced to each other he already had four albums to kind of look at and gauge "what kind of artist is she?" Dr. Luke or Max, I just had the one record out and it was my first record and we came out with so many different singles. We came out with a big R&B ballad like "The Trouble With Love Is" and a pop rock song like "Miss Independent" and then more of a pop rock song like "Low," which was my single.

I think people still didn't realize what I wanted to do with my career. I like all those avenues, but I think in the beginning people heard the demo for "Since U Been Gone" and it wasn't as it is now. I love guitars. I love a big sound and I love a little bit of angst in the production and, you know, we had to figure that out while we were working together, to where Greg already kind of knew that about me. He'd seen me perform live before and he'd heard me on these records and he kind of had a grasp of who I was already.

What was the demo for "Since U Been Gone" like?
It was real bare and there were hardly any words. [Laughs] It was just, like, mumbling. It was one guitar and really funny. I remember my label was like, "This song is so amazing!" And my manager and I were like, "It sounds cool, but they're not really saying anything." And they were like, "Listen to the melody," and I was like, "The melody doesn't really sound like it's solidified yet!" They were like, "I know, I know, but it's the production," and I was like, "There's really only a guitar and a snare!"

It was a lot of trust in the label because I didn't know Dr. Luke or Max. And it worked out. We ended up getting together in Sweden and they got to know me as an artist and we amped up the track and made it a little more rockin'. But they didn't know I was going to go an octave above on the chorus.

This song has some magic in it. When I first heard it, i was waiting for it to explode, but it's like it never happened, which I think saves it from being a generic power-ballad

Absolutely love her description of "Since U Been Gone" demo-- it's like they did the EXACT opposite of how everybody says a demo has to be perfect, and the song still turned out great!!!

Greg Kurstin did an amazing job in this record.
