Artist Updates (11/20/13)
• Newlywed Kelly Clarkson announced yesterday via Twitter that she and new husband Brandon Blackstock are already expecting their first little bundle of joy. The happy couple married a month ago in Tennessee, and Clarkson is already a stepmom to Blackstock’s two children from a previous marriage.
• Lucinda Williams will celebrate the 25th anniversary of her self-titled 1988 album with a special reissue with bonus features Jan. 14. The album, released in conjunction with her new indie label and Thirty Tigers, has been out of print for a decade. The new package will include a remastered version from the original recordings, which had been missing for over 20 years.
It also includes a bonus disc with an unreleased 1989 live concert recorded in Eindhoven, Netherlands and six previously-released live bonus tracks. The expanded booklet will include never-before-seen photos and two new sets of liner notes.
• MercyMe debuted a brand new single and music video, “Shake,” that premiered on K-LOVE’s website last week and immediately racked up over 200,000 views in less than a week. The new clip was filmed in downtown Huntsville, Ala. with dancers from the North Alabama Dance Center and over 100 local extras.
“The song is about enjoying the fact that we’re changed, having joy and living life that way,” says lead singer Bart Millard. “Shake” was serviced to Christian radio last week and is available on iTunes and all other digital retailers now.
