Clarkson, 32, released her last album three years ago, reported People magazine.
"Yes. I'm so proud of my next album! Might have a special guest... Doesn't come until early next year," she posted on Twitter responding to a fan's query.
Soon thereafter, she shared, "The high road can be a lonely place but I'd rather talk to my shadow than a mirage."
But she made it clear that the thought referred to one of the upcoming songs and not her life as a new mother.
