“Having chemistry with someone is an incredible, and overwhelming, feeling,” Clarkson explained of the album in a statement. “It’s like you have no choice in the matter. You are just drawn to each other. This can be good and bad. This album takes you down every path that chemistry could lead you down.”

To promote the LP, Clarkson will perform her show Chemistry… an Intimate Night With Kelly Clarkson at Bakkt Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, which opens July 28. The show, designed exclusively for the Bakkt Theater stage, will see Clarkson and her band performing many of her hits from the past two decades.
