Untitled

All I Ever Wanted is the fourth studio album by American pop rock singer Kelly Clarkson, released on March 6, 2009 in Australia and Germany and the United States on March 10. It was her second album to debut at #1 on the Billboard Hot 200, making it Clarkson's second non-consecutive number-one album. All I Ever Wanted has been certified Gold in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom. The original title of the album was to be Masquerade but Clarkson changed it because she felt that there were albums with similar themes currently on the charts, such as P!nk's Funhouse and Britney Spears' Circus.[2] All I Ever Wanted has sold 745,000 copies in the U.S.[3]

Production

Background

Clarkson worked with producer and OneRepublic front man, Ryan Tedder. Tedder told Digital Spy that the album's songs feature "big choruses" and "heavy drum programming", and he mentioned that the songs are influenced by the band Garbage, while one song, "Save You", features an experimental bridge that was inspired by Mozart.[4] Kelly has also stated in an interview with PopEater that one song co-written with Tedder, "If I Can't Have You" is "like Eurythmics meets The Killers" and described the track "Cry" as "a waltz" saying it was heavily influenced by country music and calling it the most personal song on the album, adding that it's about betrayal.[5] Ryan Tedder sings background vocals in the song,[6] "Already Gone".[7] "I Do Not Hook Up" and "Long Shot" were originally recorded by Katy Perry for her unreleased album, (A) Katy Perry, and "Whyyawannabringmedown" and "All I Ever Wanted" were written by Sam Watters (formerly of the band Color Me Badd), Louis Biancaniello, and the band Aranda, in which they recorded the original demos. Watters and Biancaniello also produced "I Want You" and the bonus track "The Day We Fell Apart". "Save You" is a demo from the now-disbanded Boston group Gone 'Til November, fronted by singer-songwriter Aimée Proal, who co-wrote the song with Ryan Tedder. "If No One Will Listen"[8] is a cover from Keri Noble's 2004 album Fearless.[9]

Critical reception

Initial critical response to All I Ever Wanted was generally positive. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has received a score of 70, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[24]

  • Houston Chronicle stated: "Pop Perfection."
  • NPR stated: "Her most enjoyable album so far."
  • Times and Transcript stated: "Clarkson's new album explosive...4 out of 5 stars."
  • Access Hollywood states: "The near perfect pop album is listenable from start to finish."
  • Los Angeles Times said that All I Ever Wanted is a masterful rapprochement with the mainstream, full of cheerfully ear-snagging tunes, inventive production, exhilarating vocals and enough inherent Kelly-ness to put aside fears that her label bosses implanted blond electrodes in her brain to make her behave".
  • Entertainment Weekly said that "She just tries it all, co-writing six of All I Ever Wanted's 14 tracks-- and stumbles only rarely".
  • The New York Times said that "The most immediate parts of All I Ever Wanted read a bit like Kelly Clarkson karaoke: back are the Swedish writers and producers and their laser-guided arrangements, with dynamics that are particularly well suited to her voice, broad, nimble and gale-force strong".
  • The Washington Post stated: "This is one of those rare pop albums that should resonate with the mainstream while also generating critical heat".
  • Allmusic Guide said that "This is a rare talent and while it's not perfect, largely due to those dreary Tedder tunes, much of All I Ever Wanted does justice to Clarkson's considerable skills".
  • PopMatters said that "Though All I Ever Wanted is not a classic pop album by any means, it’s most assuredly a fun one--flaws and all".
  • Hartford Courant said that "The good songs are great, but the empty bluster on some of the others overshadows the spunky personality that made Clarkson a draw in the first place".
  • Rolling Stone said that "Clarkson's sense of grievance, inflated to gargantuan size by her huge voice, can be wearying over 14 songs, particularly when the music sags".
  • Slant Magazine stated: "Taken in isolation and out of the context of the album as a whole--say, on the radio--nearly all of these songs work well enough, despite the production choices that don't always play to Clarkson's strengths and which draw too much attention to themselves".
  • Billboard said that "Clarkson's always had the best throaty yell in the business. But now she's becoming a masterful interpreter too".
  • The Boston Globe said that " On her fourth album, All I Ever Wanted, Clarkson the songwriter - she co-wrote six of 14 here - is learning to strike the age-old pop music balance that her hired hands perfected in the past. She's expressing emotional truth while crafting something that sounds good on the radio".
  • Digital Spy said that "It's easy to portray All I Ever Wanted as a bit of a sell-out - a return to a tried and tested formula after an album that cost Clarkson her multi-platinum sales figures, her status as an arena-filling live act and even her manager. Then again, playing devil's advocate for a second, could it not be that Clarkson is merely returning to what she does best after working through a few artistic difficulties on My December? Either way, there's no denying the brutal effectiveness of most of these songs and, whatever she may really be thinking, the brilliant way that Kelly Clarkson sings them".

Chart and sales

All I Ever Wanted debuted on the Billboard 200 at #1 with sales of 255,000 copies. This marks the second time Clarkson topped this particular chart after her debut set Thankful, which began with 297,000 in 2003.[25] In its second week on the Billboard 200, the album sold 90,000 copies, remaining at #1.[26][27] In its third week, the album fell to #5, selling 52,000 copies. All I Ever Wanted is also doing well internationally. It debuted at #2 on the Australia Aria Charts, selling 10,000 copies. In the U.K. the album sold 40,000 copies and an additional 15,000 copies in Canada. It also debuted at #6 on the New Zealand RIANZ album chart, becoming Clarkson's highest debut there to date.[citation needed]
