Quotes from Kelly:


"Tomorrow I’m recording one last song with Ryan Tedder for my new record and it’s my favorite song I’ve done with him so I’m pretty stoked about recording it! I love this record! I hope y’all like it!"

"Recording with Ryan went really well! I can’t wait for y’all to hear it, it’s called ‘if I can’t have you’. "

"Very very cool and talented young guy! I don't know, it was just a really cool thing. When y ou get the album, all the songs we did together are very different from one another so..."

"Dude, he's really cool! And he's like from Oklahoma so, you know from our same area, so we grew up listening to the same stuff. It was so much fun working with him. He's SO talented!"

"We grew up very similar. He's like a guy version of me."

"Yeah, well, what's funny is we met like...I wanna say almost over a year ago or a year ago. I was having a label meeting about this record and he happened to be at the label and I ended up meeting him. That's when we started working together. And yeah he's all over the place. He's super talented though! Like the cool thing about him is that he loves all styles of music. Like every song we did together on my album sound completely different from the other so..."






Quotes from Ryan


"I wrote 'Save You' for her years ago and tried to get it on My December but found out she wasn't collaborating. So I said 'All right. I'm going to wait. It was meant for her and no one else.' With 'Impossible' - You hear about artists that are writers but you're not sure how much writing actually takes place. But she's legit. The whole sentiment of that song is 100% her."

Yeah... I did a fair amount of songs for the new Kelly Clarkson album. um.. one or two of the absolute best songs I've ever been involved in happened on that record. And I couldn't be more excited about her album. Let's just say it's gonna be big and it's swinging for the fences. And she.. I've gotten to know her really well and absolutely one of the coolest people I've ever been around in my life. I grew up in Oklahoma and Colorado and she's from Texas so I don't know if it's a midwest/south thing or what it is, but she's absolutely coolest as can be.

"To be honest... I've never been that excited about material from an artist I worked with before in my life. Kelly says that this album is better than her previous albums".

Tedder told ABC News Radio, “The sound is, in a word, amazing.” He added, “She was talking about how she thinks it’ll be better than any album she’s put out so far. The last song we did [together] is my favorite song I’ve done since ‘Apologize’ or ‘Bleeding Love’ or whatever. It’s very haunting.” Tedder raves, “I’ve never been more excited about material that I’ve worked on with any artist, to be quite frank.”


"I'm a sucker for good, memorable melodies." - Ryan Tedder while discussing working with Kelly on a few songs.


"Maaaan, it's..she's gonna have..I mean, I'm a little biased, cause I'm workin' on it, but, I think she's gonna have the best album yet."

I think what made it so much more cool was Ryan was SO excited to be working with Kelly and said how awesome it was working with her. One little mention of Kelly made him ramble on and on and we didn't even need to ask questions! He seemed thrilled to be a part of the project, and very anxious for us to hear it!

I'm hoping if Already Gone is the next single, we'll hear more/see more of Ryan and Kelly.
