GRAMMY-winning global superstar Kelly Clarkson has teamed up with banjo virtuoso Steve Martin on new song “i hate love” – the latest off her highly anticipated tenth studio album chemistry, arriving June 23rd and available for pre-order now via Atlantic Records. The song arrives alongside a special live video taken from Clarkson’s one-night-only performance of chemistry last month at Los Angeles’ Belasco Theatre, directed/produced by Weiss Eubanks and Jonny Mars (watch here).
“The amazing banjo skills you hear on this is brought to you by the one and only Steve Martin! I’d choose Martin over Gosling every time y’all!” – KELLY CLARKSON
“i hate love” follows the release of upbeat single “favorite kind of high,” which was deemed a “sultry summer track” by Billboard and received the remix treatment last week from internationally acclaimed DJ/producer David Guetta (stream here). Meanwhile double singles “mine” / “me” (stream here) served as the first taste of the 14-track collection, released to fan and critical acclaim alike. Praised for their “depth of feeling and immaculate, soaring vocals” by The New York Times, the pair of songs first showcased the lyrical complexity featured on the project three years in the making.
“Having chemistry with someone is an incredible, and overwhelming, feeling. It’s like you have no choice in the matter. You are just drawn to each other. This can be good and bad. This album takes you down every path that chemistry could lead you down.” – KELLY CLARKSON
