I swear to God if she records Queen of the Night AGAIN when Exit Music (For a Film) is right there...
She hasn’t recorded Queen of the Night in the last two decades so I wouldn’t be mad if it was that (although I bet it will be Run to You). I don’t think she’d have referred to I Will Always Love You as a Whitney cover having just done it as part of a Dolly Parton tribute.
This demo came on today through my Apple Music Library shuffle, and I can still never make heads or tails of it. It sounds very "All I Ever Wanted"-era demo, and the sample is fun. I wonder why it never made it to any album. It's one of her sexier sounding songs.
She said a lot of the songs that leaked that summer were songs she was writing to possibly send to other artists, I have a feeling Ready to Go was one of them. This one still makes me scream. Naked Eye, I Can't Lose, Lover Stay, and Lost were all fantastic though. I remember her mentioning Lost a few years ago and how she wants to do a singer/songwriter song in that vein one day.
I never expect great artwork for any Kelly projects though I love the My December cover (even if there was airbrushing and photoshop???). Anyway, excited for the Kellyoke record.

Hmm. Don't care about a single one of those outside Happier Than Ever, but as long as that one is as good as the performance then I don't care.
