Kelly Clarkson has kicked off the holidays with her latest festive offering Christmas Isn’t Cancelled (Just You).
The singer dropped the track as the first single from her ninth studio album ‘When Christmas Comes Around…’, due October 15, featuring collaborations with Ariana Grande, Chris Stapleton and more.
Of the tune, she says: “My purpose for choosing this lyric for being the title of this project was to bring forth a sense of reality to the fact that we are probably all in very different places emotionally ‘when Christmas comes around.
“Some of us consumed with a new love, some of us reminded of loss, some filled with optimism for the coming new year, others elated for some much deserved time away from the chaos our work lives can sometimes bring us.
“Wherever you are, and whatever you may be experiencing, I wanted everyone to be able to connect to a message on this album.
“Each year you may even have a new favorite depending on where you are in your life, but while change can be unpredictable there is no better time of year, in my opinion, to breathe hope into one’s life and let possibility wander.”
The track follows Clarkson’s 2020 holiday offerings Under the Mistletoe with Brett Eldredge and a cover of Vince Vance & the Valiants’ All I Want for Christmas is You.
‘When Christmas Comes Around…’ is available to pre-order on CD.
