Fans clamoring for Kelly Clarkson to return to music after shifting her focus to daytime television can finally rest easy, as the three-time Grammy winner has revealed that a new album is on the way.

In an interview with Variety published Wednesday, Clarkson said shes putting the finishing touches on the followup to 2017s Meaning of Life, and plans to release it in 2023.

Though she was short on specifics, she described her time in the studio as really healing following her divorce from music manager Brandon Blackstock, which was finalized in March. As it turns out, she found artistic inspiration in her romantic discord, noting that she and her producer wrote like, 25 songs in a week, many of which will appear on the record.

Its coming out next year. And this is an important album, Clarkson explained. Im working on this in therapy: I have a hard time vocalizing what Im feeling sometimes, so music is helpful for me.

I hadnt really been working hardcore on an album until I needed to, she continued. But then the whole divorce thing happened, and I needed to write it. And then I didnt know if I was going to release it, because you can be very angry in that state of mind. So some of the songs, they definitely cover the gamut of emotions; theres everything on the album. Its almost like the arc of a relationship, because the beginning is so beautiful and so sweet, and then it evolves. And sometimes it doesnt evolve how you want.
