“It is officially time to tell you that I’ve been working on this project for close to three years now. I wasn’t sure I was going to release it, but I am,” she said in an Instagram and Twitter announcement. “It’s called Chemistry because I was trying to find a word — also, it might be one of the songs on the album — that really described the whole thing.”
“This album is definitely the arc of an entire relationship . A whole relationship shouldn’t be brought down to just one thing. So there’s the good, the bad, and the ugly kinda thing going on in it,” she continued. “Chemistry can be a really amazing, sexy, cool , fun thing, but it can also be very bad for you . So that’s why I named it Chemistry . I thought it was the perfect title to describe the entire album.”
“I didn’t want everybody to think I was just coming out with some ‘I’m angry,’ ‘I’m sad’ — just one or two emotions,” explained Clarkson, who shares children River , 8, and Remington , 6, with Blackstock.
