AUDIO: Kalisa Ewing Demos NEW Kelly Clarkson Cut – “Go On”!

Superstar and Season 1 American Idol champ Kelly Clarkson has been cutting songs for what she teased last year might be a country album *and* a pop album. Last year, songwriter Kalisa Ewing (who cowrote Kellie Pickler’s “Where Did Our Love Go?”), confirmed that Kelly was set to record a song called “Go On,” which Ewing cowrite with James LeBlanc (Gary Allan’s “Hungover Heart,” Jason Aldean’s “Relentless”) and The Cadillac Three’s Neil Mason (Jake Owen’s “Days Of Gold”). And now, we have a demo of the song!

Kelly is also confirmed to have cut the Matt Jenkins/Shane McAnally/Trevor Rosen song “Fade Into You,” which has also been performed on ABC’s Nashville by Clare Bowen and Sam Palladio (video and/or audio at both links).

About a month ago, Kelly tweeted that she was back to writing and recording, and is now aiming to release a new album at the end of this year:
