On Saturday (Jan 3rd), Clarkson teased fans on Twitter that brand new material is on its way, but also reminded them that there has been a lengthy gap in-between albums because she is busy being a mother after giving birth to her and husband Brandon Blackstock's first child in June.

"People keep asking. My next album is pop. But I am always influenced by music I love, which is pop- rock/country/r&b/dance #whoknowswhatsnext," she tweeted. "Oh and people also keep asking about the duet on the record. Here's a hint ....this wasn't our first time to sing together :)."

She added, "2 clues for the first single.Proof of life & Dr. Dre #TheNextEpisode."

As Clarkson has collaborated on many occasions, it is almost pointless trying to guess who she is referring to.

But new music may be released quicker than people initially thought. After one of her followers asked Clarkson if a single will be released this month, she simply replied "Yes :)." And when another fan questioned her about a tour for the upcoming album, the 32 year-old singer teased, "summer 2015."
