Kelly Clarkson has shared a full, studio version of her cover of Radiohead’s ‘Fake Plastic Trees’ as she releases her ‘Kellyoke’ EP.The record, which also features covers of The Weeknd and Billie Eilish, was inspired by the opening segment of her daily chat show, where Clarkson sings a reworked version of a hit song.Clarkson has previously covered Sharon Van Etten’s ‘The End Of The World’, Pixies’ ‘Where Is My Mind’, and My Chemical Romance’s ‘Welcome To The Black Parade’ among others for the segment, notably delivering a moving cover of George Michael’s ‘Faith’ in a pre-recorded video when she was not able to sing for the audience live.“Music is in the DNA of everything I do, so when The Kelly Clarkson Show started we knew it was the perfect way to kick off every episode,” Clarkson said in a statement. “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 favourites.
