All I Ever Wanted (album)

Background and recording

After her successful second studio album, Breakaway (2004), which gave her two Grammy Awards as well as other awards, four successful singles and over ten million copies sold, Clarkson felt pressure from her label to duplicate the album's success while recording her third studio album, My December (2007). The album was marked by many conflicts with her label, RCA Records, and the head of Sony Music, Clive Davis, who was dissatisfied with the album's darker tone and asked her to scrap the album in favor of making a more commercial one. Clarkson declined to do it and the album's date was pushed back several times. Eventually, My December was released amidst the controversies, and while receiving generally favorable reviews from music critics and debuting on the Billboard 200 chart with expressive sales, it only produced one successful single, "Never Again", and its promotion was dubbed "confused" due to its controversies.

After promoting the album with the "My December Tour" (2007–2008), and later embarking on a co-headlining tour with Reba McEntire, Clarkson, who was with a new manager, felt confident again in the studio and started writing a new album. In October 2008, she posted on her blog she had finished the album and was very excited about it. Clarkson also told the same month, she was working with a new collaborator, Ryan Tedder, claiming that the recording sessions with him "went really well". Tedder explained to Digital Spy that the songs featured "big choruses" and "heavy drum programming" and were influenced by nineties electro-rockers Garbage. She also worked for the first time with Howard Benson, claiming she was a big fan of him and his production with many artists such as Daughtry, stating that she loved the way he produced and how he captured how she sounds live. Clarkson also worked with previous producers, such as Sam Watters and Louis Biancaniello, whom produced the song "Anytime" on her debut album, Thankful (2003), as well as Max Martin and Dr. Luke, the producers behind Clarkson's signature song "Since U Been Gone" and "Behind These Hazel Eyes" on Breakaway (2004). Dr. Luke was interviewed by Entertainment Weekly and said: "After "Since U Been Gone", we wrote all these songs for Kelly. This one, ["My Life Would Suck Without You"], which I think is the first single — we had the chorus a while ago and added the verse more recently." He further added: "She sings a song in two hours and kills it. You're just like, 'Holy sh–.' She has powerful lungs. She's like the Lance Armstrong of vocal cords." She also worked again with songwriter Kara DioGuardi, who co-wrote several tracks on Breakaway, and received two songs co-written by Katy Perry. Perry claimed she worked on her debut album for five years and recorded so many songs for it that both songs didn't make it to the album, then Clarkson heard them, liked them, and recorded them.

Music

Production and sound

All I Ever Wanted is considered a pop and pop rock album, with influences of dance, rock and soul music. while Evan Sawdey of PopMatters noted that "[t]hough some of the post-breakup bitterness of My December still lingers here, All I Ever Wanted remains a remarkably upbeat record." Maura of Idolator called it a "pop redemption" [...] "a fun collection of pop tracks", with Slant Magazines Jonathan Keefe dubbing it "Clarkson's version of Now That's What I Call Music! 29." Michael Cragg of MusicOMH summarized the album as a "musical partner" to Clarkson's second album, Breakaway, "in terms of the sound and the sheer commercial appeal."

The first track, "My Life Would Suck Without You", was considered an explicit sequel to "Since U Been Gone", both songs were originally demos from Katy Perry. while the latter was named a "bubblegum punk" song.

The power ballad "Save You" It features an experimental bridge that was inspired by Mozart. "If No One Will Listen" is a cover of Keri Noble's song from her debut album Fearless, "Cry" was defined by Clarkson as a "waltz" ballad influenced by country music, and "Already Gone" was considered a "kick drum-driven" ballad and it was largely compared to Beyoncé's "Halo"; both produced by Tedder. "Impossible" was called a "piano-riddled rocker", while "Ready" was named a "breezy, carefree pop" song.

Lyrical content

Lyrically, All I Ever Wanted talks generally about romantic relationships— the good, the bad and the dysfunctional —with Clarkson defining it as "pretty personal". while wondering, "Is it over yet? Can I open my eyes?," while "Already Gone" is about coming to terms with a relationship that was destined for failure. "If I Can't Have You" playfully talks about Clarkson finding what she's looking for, while "Save You" is about a person's lamentation and desire to save someone from a self-destructive behaviour after a loss. "Whyyawannabringmedown" finds Clarkson singing, "I'm not your love monkey, so be takin' back all of the lies you sold," "Long Shot" "acknowledges the risk involved with a new romantic endeavor", and with "Impossible" she admits: "I will stumble and I'll make my own mistakes, yeah/But I won't worry 'bout it anymore." "I Want You" finds the singer "swooning over a hot-tempered, noncommunicative guy," who is "such a mess with an attitude," and "If No One Will Listen" ends with Clarkson "encouraging a struggling friend, [herself or anyone else], to relinquish pent-up fears."

Title and artwork

On January 2, 2009, The Wall Street Journal published an article about the upcoming albums of 2009, and Clarkson's fourth studio album was among them. At the time, RCA general manager Tom Corson claimed she was "in a period where she wants to take on the pop world again." [...] "She's ready, and she's got all the right support." The newspaper also revealed its working title, Masquerade. Kreps opined that the cover resembles another "comeback album"—Spears's Circus. Clarkson herself commented, "We decided the cover of the album and just in case you haven't seen it I'll post it! It's very colorful and they have definitely Photoshopped the crap out of me—but I don't care, haha! Whoever she is, she looks great, ha!."

Singles

The album's first single, "My Life Would Suck Without You", had its artwork revealed on January 5, 2009, and it shows "Clarkson sporting a wide-eyed [...] look and a heart-shaped lollipop." It was released to airplay on January 13, 2009, and three days later was made available for digital download. On January 28, 2009, Billboard announced that the single went from number 97 to number one on the Billboard Hot 100, making the biggest leap to the top in the chart's history, as well as marking Clarkson's second US number-one single, and her first in seven years. Elsewhere, it was a chart success, also reaching the top of the Canadian and UK charts, and the top 10 in over ten countries. Its music video leaked on January 28, 2009, and it shows Clarkson and her boyfriend having a dysfunctional relationship.

"I Do Not Hook Up" was released to Russian radio on March 31, 2009, as the second single off the album. The cover art for the single was released on March 26, 2009. The music video for the song, directed by Bryan Barber, was shot in March 2009 and released on April 20, 2009, on MTV. As described by Clarkson, the video is about "how the girl is a good girl, she doesn't hook up. But inside her head, every time she turns around, she's fantasizing. So she's hooking up in her fantasies, but never in real life."

"Already Gone" was sent to US radio on August 11, 2009, as the album's third single. The single's artwork was released on July 8, 2009. The song faced controversy due to its similarity to another Ryan Tedder-produced track, Beyoncé's "Halo", with Clarkson going as far as trying to prevent the single's release, but her label chose to release it anyway. In the United States, the song was more successful than "I Do Not Hook Up", reaching number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spending eight consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Adult Pop Songs chart. Elsewhere, it reached the top twenty in four countries, and the top forty in another four countries. The music video was directed by Joseph Kahn and released on July 27, 2009. Kahn was dissatisfied with the result of the video, which shows Clarkson "singing in various luxurious locations while violins play themselves."

The album's title track, "All I Ever Wanted", was released as the fourth and final single in the United States. It was officially sent to US radio on March 9, 2010, and to the US and Canadian iTunes Store for download on March 15, 2010. It only peaked at number 96 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, while being more successful on the Adult Pop Songs sub-chart, where it reached number 11. Meanwhile, "Cry" was released as the fourth single in Germany and Australia and as the fifth single overall. It was released as a digital download in Germany on March 12, 2010 and sent to Australian radio on March 15, 2010. It became the second most added song to radio in Australia the week it was sent for airplay. The song was also covered by Lea Michele in the Glee episode "Choke" on May 1, 2012.

Critical reception

All I Ever Wanted received positive reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received a score of 70, indicating "generally favorable reviews". Ann Powers of Los Angeles Times called it "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." Sarah Rodman of The Boston Globe observed that the singer is "learning to strike the age-old pop music balance that her hired hands perfected in the past, [...] expressing emotional truth while crafting something that sounds good on the radio." Jon Dolan of Blender gave praise to Clarkson for "mak[ing] nice with the pop machine and tak[ing] back the mall while keeping her integrity and personality intact," While calling her first album "the Obligation", her second "the Breakthrough", and her third "the Reaction," Jon Caramanica of The New York Times noted that All I Ever Wanted "plays out as Ms. Clarkson's Concession," pointing out that "Ms. Clarkson's identity is finally firm: spurned, hurt and torn."

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic recognized that she "sounds impassioned and invested in these numbers, selling every one of the skyscraper hooks, but better still she sounds relatable, pulling listeners into a song instead of keeping them at a distance," observing that "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." a sentiment echoed by Vibe Claire Lobenfeld, who wrote that it "will be a hit with Clarkson die-hards, but is unlikely to influence any Top 40 outsiders." Evan Sawdey of PopMatters noticed that "[t]hough All I Ever Wanted is not a classic pop album by any means, it's most assuredly a fun one—flaws and all. It might be a bit quirky at times, but therein lies the charm: no one could've filled up such a deliberately commercial album with so much personality aside from Kelly Clarkson, and for that, we should all be a bit thankful." In a more mixed review, Jody Rosen of Rolling Stone admitted 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." Michaelangelo Matos of The A.V. Club called it "a likeable but ultimately hackneyed album that presents her as the über-everygirl", while Michael Cragg of musicOMH was more critical, writing that "as an album, the whole thing feels precision tooled, vacuum-packed and strangely lifeless." Jonathan Keefe of Slant Magazine analyzed the album in his review, declaring:

Accolades

The album was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 52nd Grammy Awards. It also entered AllMusic's list of "Favorite Pop Albums of 2009", as well as MTV's "Best Albums Of 2009" at number 12. All I Ever Wanted was also selected by Entertainment Weekly as the "Best Comeback".

Commercial performance

All I Ever Wanted debuted on the Billboard 200 at number one with sales of 255,000 copies, becoming the second time Clarkson topped the chart; her debut set, Thankful, also began at number one with 297,000 copies sold in its first week in 2003. In its second week, the album remained at the top, with 90,000 copies, whilst in its third week, it fell to number five, selling 52,000 copies. As of September 2017, the album has sold 1,004,000 copies in the United States, becoming her fourth highest-selling album of her career, behind Thankful (2003), Breakaway (2004) and Stronger (2011).

In Australia, it also debuted at number two, becoming her highest debut along with Breakaway (2004).
