After this disappointingly safe Heartbeat Song, Kelly Clarkson brings her A-game on new single Invincible. Co-written by Sia, "Invincible" sounds like classic Sia beautiful as well as a heavier yet more upbeat Already Gone.
Starting off with strings and piano, Invincible sets up its power ballad framework from the very beginning unlike other Kelly songs like Catch My Breath. Lyrically, it's not classic Clarkson but the new one. It's not a break-up anthem ala Stronger or Since U Been Gone, it's much more like older brother Heartbeat Song with lyrics discussing strength found in love (hence Invincible). Drums come crashing down in the chorus, with the strings taking on Coldplay style riffs. For the second verse, a chori can be heard backing up Clarkson's soaring voice. The bridge brings in some solid C5 belts and noticeably changed F5. This belt was beautiful placed closer to Clarkson's nasal cavity to sustain the note and vibrato, as opposed to the openness one would expect from her upper belts in the past. However, Clarkson can't disappoint her audience, so she throws in some glorious C6 falsettos to make the final chorus massive.
