Kelly Clarkson is proud of her brand new album, 'Stronger', because she feels more in control of her own career and is finally on the same page as her team. 

The 'Because Of You' superstar explained to the Daily Star newspaper that in the past she's been steered in directions that she's not been comfortable with musically, but now at the age of 29 is more secure and headstrong:

"I think that’s why we kind of went with the whole Stronger theme because it’s the first time everybody working around me and at the record company really agreed and worked together really well. More people are comfortable and know me better and I know them better."

"I’ve had to earn their trust and now I’m saying: ‘I’ve written you a lot of No1s, OK, I’m not just a one-hit wonder here.'"

She admitted that 'Stronger' is like a testament to her personal growth and added, "I guess personally I kind of feel more like that bec­ause now it’s my fifth record, I’m 10 years in, I know myself a little better, I feel a little stronger.”
