Kelly Clarkson gives us Mr. Know It All. The song serves as the lead single from her upcoming album Stronger, set for release on October 25.

It does look like the word that has been circulating for a while is true that the vocals would be more or less raw and not autotuned, which I actually like with Kelly. There’s a certain edge and attitude to her voice that is showcased better when it’s raw like how it is here in Mr. Know It All.

I do prefer Kelly Clarkson when she goes uptempo with a kick-ass attitude like in her past hits Since U Been Gone and Walk Away, but since she is such a versatile vocalist, she can sing in any tempo and any genre and I would still be happy. In Mr. Know It All, Kelly goes midtempo and returns to pop-rock.

Mr. Know It All will be on iTunes on September 5. For now, listen to the track below.
