Ah, there is nothing like being sky high – WOO! Not a drug induced high mind you, but a more substantial high, via love and romance.  That is the high that 🏆 Grammy-winning pop superstar 🎙 Kelly Clarkson touts on 🎵 “favorite kind of high”, the third single from her tenth studio album, 💿 chemistry.  The love is lit 🔥 to say the least: “So I close my eyes, kiss you how I like / I’ve been waitin’ for you.”

Kelly Clarkson, Chemistry [📷: Atlantic]As always, Kelly Clarkson is impressive in the vocal department.  She is particularly strong once she ascends into that powerful, upper register.  The theme is simple but relatable: being so taken with someone that you’re willing to give into them without a hitch.  In the second verse, she asserts, “When you’re in the room, all I feel is you…” Everyone has experienced that feeling ❤️.  Of course, the best moment in this exuberant pop joint is the chorus, where that special high, thanks to those feelings of L-O-V-E dominate:

“You’re my favorite kind of high

Rushin’ through me like a fire

And I need you to know

I say I won’t, but I do

When it comes to lovin’ you

I don’t have no control

You’re my favorite kind of high.”

okayAll in all, 🎵 “favorite kind of high” is another high-flying record from Kelly Clarkson.  No, it’s not the second coming (what is?) but it’s well-rounded and again, quite relatable.  🎛 Jesse Shatkin produced this latest bop by Queen Kelly!
