A couple of years ago I saw Kelly Clarkson in South Africa
when she was touring with her CD Stronger (2011). I didn't expect much. I'm not
a fan. I just went because I got the tickets for free and my sister from
Australia, who is a fan, was visiting and I took her to the show. The show was
so-so, didn't blew me away, but was entertaining enough. So when I my fiancé
bought the new CD (he is a fan), I was sceptical. He is loving it, but would I
do to? Firstly, it's unfair and hard to compare Piece By Piece to Stronger. She
is in total different space now than when she was back then - she's a married
lady and gave birth to the most adorable chunky baby, River Rose Blackstock.
Her new life as a mother and daughter clearly influenced her work here. Kudos
for her as the lyrics give listeners now an insight into her personal life. The
CD is about sound instead of songs. It seems she's gone the Taylor Swift 1989
route of having an eclectic offering of style and genre with country,
electronic, R&B often blending on a single track. This CD is not my cup of
tea, but I'm sure fans will love this offering.
