Kelly Clarkson releases Chemistry album in LA concert

Kelly Clarkson celebrated her 41st birthday Monday night with a ceremonial purge, performing for fans all 14 songs from “Chemistry,” a project he’s been working on for three years that has been described — quite accurately, as it turns out — as putting her feelings about her divorce on the record, in every way.

“I was really nervous about releasing the record,” Clarkson said at an early point in the emotionally powerful but good-humored two-hour concert at downtown L.A.’s Belasco, which was being filmed for future use. The singer said she felt emboldened when one of her crew members of three years told her, “I was listening to your record and, boy, did you nail that — loss and grief. And even the part where you remember the good; that’s what keeps you going back,” she told Variety.

I made a really special 7" vinyl featuring my new singles mine and me. These won't be repressed so don't miss out! 🍷💔☀️ https://t.co/4DP6sNdBHj #mineme #chemistry pic.twitter.com/RQA4w12nqD
