Sobre el álbum
El álbum Meaning Of Life, de 2017, es el disco que Kelly Clarkson siempre había soñado hacer. Tras finalizar su contrato con RCA Records, la artista firmó con Atlantic y obtuvo la libertad creativa para explorar sus raíces musicales. Por lo tanto, este trabajo es una inmersión total en el soul, el R&B y el blues, los géneros que la formaron como cantante.
En primer lugar, el cambio de sonido es evidente y liberador. De hecho, Kelly Clarkson abandona el pop-rock para abrazar un sonido orgánico, con una banda de músicos excepcional, una potente sección de vientos y coros góspel. Por consiguiente, su voz, una de las más prodigiosas del pop, brilla aquí con una calidez, una textura y una alegría sin precedentes.
Además, el álbum es una celebración de la vida, el amor y el empoderamiento femenino. Así pues, canciones como "Love So Soft", con su mezcla de soul clásico y producción moderna, o la poderosa "Heat" son un derroche de energía y "groove". Mientras tanto, en "Move You" o en la canción titular, muestra su increíble capacidad para la balada soul.
En definitiva, "Meaning Of Life" es un triunfo artístico. Es el sonido de una artista liberada, que por fin puede hacer la música que lleva en el alma. Es un disco lleno de alegría, pasión y, sobre todo, una voz que encontró su verdadero hogar.

Letra
How's life on that mountain you've been climbin' baby Is it what you thought you wanted, what you were needin' How's life in that rearview, that mirror you don't mention Is it hard seein' who you were and what you're becomin' When you look back on love do you think of us? When it's all said and done, was it all enough? When you weigh the loss to all you've gained, tell me, does it all add up When you look back on us, would you call that love? Would you, would you call that love? Would you, would you call that love? How's life in that fast lane, that pavement you've been chasin' Is it all greener without me or is something missin' How's life with that feelin', that loneliness you're hidin' Is it hard thinkin' about me, all that you were given When you look back on love do you think of us? When it's all said and done, was it all enough? When you weigh the loss to all you've gained, tell me, does it all add up When you look back on us, would you call that love? Would you, would you call that love? Would you, would you call that love? We can't go back, we can't undo what's done A place to rest your head, I hope you find one I forgive as you forget too much When you look back on us would you call that love? When you look back on love, do you think of us? When it's all said and done, was it all enough? When you weigh the loss to all you've gained, tell me, does it all add up When you look back on us, would you call that love? Would you, would you call that love? Would you, would you call that love? Would you, would you call that love? Would you, would you call that love? Baby, would you call that love? Mmh, would you call that love? - I Don't Think About You3:44
