Luke and Max Martin, composer of ‘.Baby One More Time’ among others.Īs is to be expected, the album is firmly centered on Clarkson’s booming blues-diva voice. Also into the fold are Swedish pop legends (what would a pop album be without Swedes?) Dr. rockers Our Lady Peace and Chantal Kreviazuk. Clarkson even enlisted some of that album’s writers and producers for the project- pop’s most in-demand songwriter Kara DioGuardi, producer John Shanks, ex-Evanescence guitarist Ben Moody and the Canadian husband-and-wife duo, Raine Maida of alt. And it was a song deemed unsuitable for the aformentioned’s Under the Skin album that set her on her way: ‘Breakaway’ was initially intended as a stop-gap single while the new album was being recorded, but its huge success prompted its inclusion on the album and, later, gave the album its title.

Now free from her Idol contract, Kelly set her sights on a more rock-oriented direction, in the vein of Avril Lavigne. The film is considered by many to be one of the worst films ever, second only to ‘Anus Magillicutty’ on IMDb’s “Bottom 100 Worst Films.” Such is the context in which Breakaway was made. Then there was ‘From Justin to Kelly,’ which I haven’t seen but hate nonetheless, in which she co-starred with fellow Idolator and Smokey Robinson-look-alike Justin Guarini. Then it all went a little pear-shaped Subsequent singles ‘Low’ and ‘The Trouble with Love Is’ were relative failures and rumours of her imminent demise became rife. With two red-hot singles to her name, the Idol-winning ballad ‘A Moment Like This’ and the massive dance-pop hit ‘Miss Independent,’ her profile (and her “profile” has been as much a source of discussion as her vocal talents) had already afforded her success in the UK and Australia aswell as North America. After winning the first American Idol, former telemarketer and sometimes Sabrina the Teenage Witch extra Kelly Clarkson's career in music seemed assured.
