If you guessed right, I had recently bought Kelly Clarkson's album and today, I shall give my personal views about this album.
Breakaway, as it called it, is an album that Kelly Clarkson is trying to breakaway from her first album, Thankful. In this album, it is more rock/ pop influence and more 'I am me' affair. In truth, I think this is her 'first' album since Thankful is more a American Idol affair. In this album, she co-write and write half of her album, writing what she think of life, love and many of her personal stuff.
In this album, I love and adore the way she handle her song. Although her songs may not be 'perfect' but she had covered it up with her on record charisma and it is funny because some of her songs are quite 'melodrama' yet producing an effect that is endearing. Perhaps, I liked drama. Anyway, in this album, I favoured her number one hits like Breakaway, Since You Been Gone, Behind These Hazel Eye and Because of You. Let me break down these album and what I think of some of these songs in the album.
First of all, Breakaway is something more 'Amercia Idol' song and I think she should not since she was made from America Idol. This song is very light and showcase more of Kelly Claskson soulful sight unlike her other songs. It is about growing and it is like of like when you are not doing anything and lazing around, you will feel that this song is very pleasant to hear. This is also a song when you feel very sad and want to breakaway from reality, listen to this song and you will come back to earth, just kidding!!! It is more of a song that I really enjoyed most as compared to other songs.
Since you been gone and behind these hazel eyes is more rock influence song and more demanding of Kelly Clarkson's high pitched voice. It is more of a venge of frustrations and anger on her fallen love life. This is definitely a song when you break up with your boyfriend or girlfriend and wanted to venge your frustrations. It is also a song when you want to curse someone and your friend when he is a bastard or something. You can sing this song and in your mind, you think of that person. Like, you think of your enemy, and it really work for since you been gone but not really for behind these hazel eyes. Eg, I would think of Kia Joon, Zhi Hao, Long Zhao and maybe a bit of daniel when I sing this song. It is an effective source of releaser of anger and furthermore, you did not delibrately hurt anyone and yet still get the same effective. Anyway, for above mentioned, I was not kidding but anyway, this two song show the real rock edge of Kelly Clarkson and bring out why she is still so successful till today despite many pitfalls in her career.
Because of you is more like a kid in a dysfunctional family and grow up to be an adult thinking of the negativities of her marriage. I think this song is trying to bring up the message that whatever you do infront of your kids, your kids will be influence by it and this would pose problems for their emotional growth. Because of you is more like when you saw your parents fight and quarrel and everything else fails, this is a perfect song for you.
Besides the four hits, I also like addicted. It is very 'evil' and very low pitched and showed a different side of Kelly Clarkson. I was very attracted to this song and I classified this as one of the better songs in this album as it showed that no matter what Kelly sings, it would sounds great. This is a perfect song when you feel very evil and want to take drugs or something (literally) or even depressed, use this song to help you to relive it and the best of all, you need not need to take drugs but feel the essence of taking it.
Lastly, I like where is your heart. It is more like a song that you really wanted to hear when you are quiet and feel abit sad, not depressed, you want the song to move you or to help to relieve you pain a little bit, then it is the song that you really want to hear. I love to listen to this song when the sun sets and then you became a bit sad. This is a beauitful love song although some may think that it is boring but it is certainly a good song to listen to when you put your worries behind and listen to it.
Forgive me for this is my first time writing as a critic for an album!
