Clarkson puts an end to label spat
Kelly Clarkson has done a lot of talking about reports of a feud with Clive Davis over the direction of her new album, “My December.” Now, she’s apologizing.
“I want to set the record straight on this by saying that I want my band, my advisors, those close to me and my record label to be one big, tightly knit family,” the 25-year-old singer said Monday in a statement posted on her website.
“Like any family we will disagree and argue sometimes but, in the end, it’s respect and admiration that will keep us together.”
For months, Clarkson has weathered -- and also fueled in candid interviews -- reports of a battle with Davis, who oversees her record label, RCA, over the direction of “My December,” which was released June 26.
Clarkson, who co-wrote every track on “My December,” gives Davis kudos for releasing the album when he wasn’t obligated to do so.
“I really regret how this has turned out and I apologize to those whom I have done disservice,” she said. “
