New Kelly Clarkson Cover Art!

My future beard Kelly Clarkson has been absent from the pop world for a couple of minutes, but she's slated to release a new single on January 19th. "My Life Would Suck Without You" was written by pop masterminds Max Martin and Dr. Luke, so it should have a sound similar to her Breakaway hits the duo penned, like "Since U Been Gone." I would hope this collaboration will get her back on radio, which is at once exciting for my inner Kelly fangirl and disheartening for my inner serious music fan. I love Max Martin's pop compositions, like "U & UR Hand" and "...Baby, One More Time" but I also loved the darker sounds Kelly explored on her mostly self-written My December. Why can't radio make room for both? I'm reserving judgement until I hear the song... aw, who am I trying to kid? I will love it, I'm sure. Kelly & Max & Luke together again is a pop fan's dream come true...

Anyway, until the single leaks, which should happen any day now, here is the super hot cover art for the single:

Isn't it hot as ballz? I mean, it's photoshopped within an inch of it's life, but you can't deny the gorgeous iconography of a girl and a lollipop. Lil Wayne would be proud! And it's not a random Lolita pose, it fits with the title in a strange way. Again, though, I preferred the moody Goth-girl look in My December's promo art, but I still love this too.
