There are strings on the new Kelly Clarkson album

SORT OF BREAKING NEWS: One of the world's best popstars Kelly Clarkson has some strings on her new album.

The news was leaked via a series of Instagram pictures from composer and arranger Joseph Trapanese, who's pre­vi­ously worked on Clarkso' Christmas opus, 'Wrapped In Red' with Greg Kurstin.

Ergo we're assuming Greg Kurstin is involved in creating this new album too.

Here's one of the pictures, which came with the following caption: "Amazing day recording orchestra for @kellyclarksonwith the brilliant team @satoshimusic@gzmusiccontracting @shakeyzpizza."
