Kelly Clarkson announced that her popular 'Kellyoke' segment from The Kelly Clarkson Show is being turned into a six-song EP, set for release on June 9. The Grammy-winner released a cover of Billie Eilish's "Happier Than Ever," which Clarkson originally performed on the Sept. 30, 2021, episode of her talk show.
Clarkson said in a statement: "Music is in the DNA of everything I do, so when The Kelly Clarkson Show started we knew it was the perfect way to kick off every episode. Over 500 songs later, and we're still not running out of amazing artists to pay tribute to. Picking just six [songs] was near-impossible, but these songs have been some of my favorites. Thanks for singing along with me y'all!"
The six tracks on the EP will include "Blue Bayou" by Linda Ronstadt, "Call Out My Name" by The Weeknd, "Queen of the Night" by Whitney Houston, "Trampoline" by Shaed, "Fake Plastic Trees" by Radiohead and "Happier Than Ever" by Eilish. The EP marks Clarkson's first release since her holiday album When Christmas Comes Around in October.
