Releasing ten studio albums is a major milestone for every recording artist, and Kelly Clarkson will soon cross that line. The Grammy-winning hitmaker recently announced her tenth studio album Chemistry is coming “really soon” and detailed the emotional story behind it.

Clarkson announced Chemistry in a short Instagram video and revealed she’s been working on it for nearly three years. It’s her first post-divorce album, and she described it as “the arc of an entire relationship.”

“This is my most personal record. And it’s not all bad – like, there is heartbreak in it, and there is sadness in it… I had to get through it to even talk about it, so I don’t break down in an interview and cry about it – so I’m there now,” she previously told Access Daily’s Mario Lopez and Kit Hoover.

Chemistry will mark Clarkson’s first “regular” studio album since Meaning of Life in 2017, but that doesn’t mean she hasn’t released any new music in the meantime. Her Christmas album When Christmas Comes Around… was released in 2021, and she also shared the EP of covers titled Kellyoke last year.

Clarkson’s tenth studio album still doesn’t have a release date, but the singer said it will come out “really soon”. It’s expected to feature songs “Chemistry”, “Red Flag Collector”, and “Raw Cuts” / “Rock Hudson”.
