Kelly Clarkson Announces Kellyoke EP

She continued, “Over 500 songs later, and we’re still not running out of amazing artists to pay tribute to. Picking just six was near-impossible, but these songs have been some of my favorites. Thanks for singing along with me y’all!”

Now, with the release of the six-track EP, fans will have access to stream Clarkson’s covers on any occasion.

The EP marks Clarkson’s first release since her holiday albumWhen Christmas Comes Aroundin October and before then her 2017 albumMeaning of Life.

Aside from recording music and her work as a talk show host, the “Because of You” songstress is also a single mom. Last week, Clarksonspoke to PEOPLEabout the challenges her family faced with remote learning.

“I was like, ‘Dear God, I hope my nanny doesn’t quit,'” said Clarkson, who in the early days of the coronavirus was alone with her kids, daughter River, 7, and son Remington, 6, and their nanny.

Clarkson also said the experience only reinforced her appreciation for educators.

“I hope we never have to do it again, because my kids are very creative, outgoing and social, and did not want to be at home with an adult,” she added of remote learning. “It was very hard, like [them] learning how to read. I’ve always held teachers in the highest of regard, but people that didn’t really think about it before got a real eye-opening experience at how hard teachers work. I’d hear people in the industry in interviews be like, ‘Oh my God, I’m trying to wrangle these two or three kids.’ But imagine having 26 to 30, because that’s what a teacher has. It’s a crazy hard job.”
