Song of the Day - Let Me Down

Kelly Clarkson - Let Me Down

Album: TBA (2011)

The original and best American Idol, Kelly Clarkson, had a bit of leakage yesterday. That's song leakage boys and girls! One of the tracks from her fifth studio album (to be released in September), 'Let Me Down,' appeared on das internets, but it's being taken down left, right and center... so listen while you can! Who am I kidding, it'll keep popping up every five minutes now. K. Clarks cites Prince, Tina Turner, Sheryl Crow and Radiohead as influences for the upcoming LP and admits that some of the songs will venture into country territory. As for 'Let Me Down,' it's got the uber-catchy chorus and angsty lyrics we're used to, but the verses leave a lot to be desired. Here's hoping she's got one 'Since U Been Gone' up her sleeve when the album drops in September.

Rating: 3/5
