NEVER AGAIN - KELLY CLARKSON
Pop’s ruling queen Kelly Clarkson marks her anticipated return with rough-and-ready anthem “Never Again,” the first single from upcoming third opus “My December.” As with 2004-2005 staple “Since U Been Gone,” America’s sweetheart is mightily pissed off: “I hope the ring you gave to her turns her finger green/I hope when you’re in bed with her you think of me.” Lip-curling guitars and percussion lurch and lunge alongside Clarkson’s uptempo rant, with multiple vocal layers and background echoes adding to the emotional torrent.
