Entertainment Weekly put out its annual summer music preview issue this week. Top of the pile is the third album from Kelly Clarkson, My December, due June 26 (first single, "Never Again" debuted on the Hot 100 at #8). Apparently label boss Clive Davis is on record as not liking it, but Clarkson is insistent that she wanted to make a darker, more personal album, and not a copy of mega-successful Breakaway. Other highlights:
The White Stripes, Icky Thump (June 19). Sixth album from the White Stripes, which the writer praises as "an extraordinary throwback to the band's beginnings." First single "Icky Thump" became th band's first top 40 hit on the Hot 100.
Natasha Bedingfield, NB (August 7). Already out in the UK, first single "I Wanna Have Your Babies" performed poorly on the British chart, reaching only #7. Will be interesting to see if that's chosen to promote the American release.
Interpol, Our Love to Admire (July 10). Third album and major label debut for the New York band.
Kelly Rowland, Ms. Kelly (July 3). Second album from former Destiny's Child member, preceded by single "Like This"
