Greatest Hits, Chapter One by Kelly Clarkson
Greatest Hits: Chapter One is the first greatest hits album by American recording artist Kelly Clarkson. The album was released on November 16, 2012 through RCA Records. The compilation contains tracks from all of the Clarkson's studio albums released up to 2011: Thankful (2003), Breakaway (2004), My December (2007), All I Ever Wanted (2009), and Stronger (2011) as well as three newly-recorded tracks produced by Sound Kollectiv, Greg Kurstin and Dann Huff. Clarkson named the album Chapter One, indicating that a second 'chapter' will be released in the future. The release of Greatest Hits: Chapter One was preceded by its lead single, "Catch My Breath", which was released on October 15, 2012.
On her triumphant eighth album, Kelly Clarkson summons her inner Aretha. Trading her signature hook-laden pop-rock for gutsy soul, it’s a straight-talking, hater-shaking hear-me-roar smash that shows off her superhuman range and vocal strength like never before. For the Nashville-based star, happiness is a happy marriage (“Meaning of Life”), an open mind (“Move You”) and a bulletproof self-confidence (“Go High”). But the highlight has to be “Whole Lotta Woman”, a rip-roaring collaboration with Earth, Wind & Fire that bulldozes bullies and body-shamers: “I ain’t no girl/I’m a boss with orders.”
