Ahead of the release of the 22-track deluxe edition of her latest Billboard 200 top 10 album, ‘Chemistry,’ on September 22, GRAMMY & EMMY-winning diva Kelly Clarkson is giving fans a taste of what to expect from the expanded set with new song ‘Roses.’

“It’s too late for roses, they’ll die in a day / You can’t put a Band-Aid on the way that we’re breakin’ / It’s too late for diamonds, they all come with chains / So don’t waste your money on it, we can’t be saved,” she sings on the chorus of the Jesse Shatkin-produced cut.

As the June 23 due date of Kelly Clarkson‘s ninth traditional studio album ‘Chemistry’ nears, expect to hear more and more offerings from the highly anticipated set.

Having already whet appetites with previously released singles ‘Me,’ ‘Mine,’ and ‘Favorite Kind of High’ from the 14-track LP, the 3x GRAMMY winner follows with two more tastes of gems set to line the project: ‘I Hate Love’ and ‘Red Flag Collector.’

While the former boasts a guest appearance from EMMY and GRAMMY-winning comedy legend Steve Martin, the latter shines with production from Kelly’s longtime collaborator Jason Halbert.

Ahead of the arrival of ‘Chemistry’ to digital shelves later this month, hop inside to hear live versions of ‘Hate’ and ‘Red’ filmed at Clarkson’s one-night-only performance of the album last month at the Belasco Theatre in Los Angeles.

With only a month separating music lovers from ‘Chemistry‘ – Kelly Clarkson‘s highly anticipated ‘divorce album’ due June 23 – the diva is hoping to give them even more reason to cop a copy.

Despite already garnering critical acclaim for the LP’s leading singles, ‘Me’ and ‘Mine,’ Clarkson – having missed the Hot 100 with both tunes – is hoping for a warmer response with their follow-up: ‘Favorite Kind of High.’

Introduced via a one-night-only performance of its parent project at Los Angeles’ Belasco Theatre filmed in April, the recorded version of ‘High‘ was produced by Jesse Shatkins and sees Kelly croon about the euphoria of finding new love.

“You’re my favorite kind of high / Rushin’ through me like a fire / And I need you to know / I say I won’t, but I do / When it comes to lovin’ you,” she sings on the summer-ready cut.

Kelly Clarkson fans who feared her EMMY-winning daytime talk show would keep her way from the studio were relieved in late 2022 when the Pop diva announced that she would release new music in early 2023.

True to her word, Clarkson lifted the lid on two new songs ‘Mine’ and ‘Me’ on Friday (April 14) – the double lead singles from her tenth studio offering, ‘Chemistry‘ (due on digital shelves June 23).

“Having chemistry with someone is an incredible, and overwhelming, feeling. It’s like you have no choice in the matter,” she said about the project’s title. “This album takes you down every path that chemistry could lead you down.”

When dishing about why ‘Mine’ and ‘Me’ were selected to kick off the new era, Kelly – whose highly-publicized divorce was finalized last year – said the two tunes best represented the LP overall.

“We decided to release ‘Mine’ and ‘Me’ at the same time because I didn’t want to release just one song to represent an entire album, or relationship,” she revealed. “There are many stages of grief and loss on this album. Each song is a different stage and emotional state.”

Titled ‘Christmas Isn’t Canceled (Just You),’ the tune was first teased last Wednesday (September 15) when Clarkson took to social media to announce it would arrive the next Thursday (September 23).  Between time, the GRAMMY and EMMY-winning diva unwrapped even more yuletide news when she officially announced the tracklist for her second holiday album – ‘When Christmas Comes Around.’  

Among the tracks is ‘Canceled,’ which acts as the first single.

“You ruined all my favorite things (All my favorite things) / But you won’t take Christmas from me,” she wails on the Joseph Trapanese & Jason Halbert-produced tune.
