Kelly Clarkson performed a ballad from her new album in the New York City subway. Joined by backup singers, the 41-year-old singer showcased her powerful voice in a video shared on YouTube. The album, titled Chemistry, was released on Friday and features songs about love, loss, and survival. Clarkson, who has been promoting the record in the Big Apple, wore a black and white dress for the subway performance. She had previously organized a flash mob in a Los Angeles coffee shop. Clarkson mentioned that the songs on the album were inspired by her breakup with ex-husband Brandon Blackstock and hoped they would provide comfort to listeners going through difficult times. She also expressed excitement about her upcoming Las Vegas residency, where she would be performing new music and her older hits.
