Kelly Clarkson just released her fourth album, All I Ever Wanted, and J-14 talked exclusively to the Texas native all about it!

J-14: What's your favorite song off the new album?
Kelly: "All I Ever Wanted." It's the first song we recorded for the album and it completely sets the bar for the rest of it. It's very funky and soulful.

J-14: How does this album compare to your other three?
Kelly: I always like my records to have a variety of flavors, so you'll find little hints of several different genres of music on this album. Many different artists are always influencing me.

J-14: What are some of your favorite songs currently on your iPod?
Kelly: "Flightless Bird" by Iron & Wine. The production on this song mixes so well with the vocals! This will be one of those songs I'm still listening to on repeat in 10 or 20 years. I also love "Never Think" by Rob Pattinson. I love that his voice and music create this perfect mix of Ray LaMontagne and Jeff Buckley. I hope he does more than just a couple of songs on a soundtrack. I'd love to hear an album!
