Kelly Clarkson Plumbs The “Meaning Of Life”
Ms. Clarkson, 35, has remained a major pop player for a decade and a half without checking the usual pop-star boxes. She’s not an enigmatic, larger-than-life figure like Beyoncé, or a social-media chess master like Taylor Swift; she’s not an outsize persona like Lady Gaga or a style icon like Gwen Stefani. Soon she will bring her frankness back to television (where she emerged, in 2001, on “American Idol”), as a coach on “The Voice†in 2018. Ms. Clarkson is hoping “Meaning of Life,†out Oct. 27, shows off her truest musical love: soul.
