The release of two albums in less than two years seems awfully fast for Bruce Springsteen. "Working on a Dream" comes just a year and a half after its predecessor, 2007's "Magic." However, with famed producer Brendan O'Brien (AC/DC, Pearl Jam) returning to the fold, "Working on a Dream" has already received a healthy amount of buzz. Closing track "The Wrestler" was featured in the film of the same name and received a Golden Globe nomination for best original song.
Release Date: January 27
Kelly Clarkson - "All I Ever Wanted"
Genre: Pop
Kelly Clarkson. Mozart. Two names few expect to see in the same song, let alone the same context. But it happens on Clarkson's newest album, "All I Ever Wanted." The former "American Idol" winner teamed with producer Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic, experimented with the sounds of popular alternative rock band Garbage, and even mixed with Mozart. Ambitious? Certainly. Can she pull it off? This spring will tell us.
Release Date: March 17
