Kelly Clarkson, John Legend 'Run, Run, Run' Review: Tokio Hotel Song Gets New Life in Beautiful 'Piece By Piece' Duet [LISTEN]

Kelly Clarkson: Piece By Piece

After having trouble finding a collaborator for her new album, Clarkson landed on Legend, and she's all the better for it. These two adult contemporary artists' voices blend together perfectly, as they sing softly and powerfully together all within a matter of short moments.

Clarkson and Legend's take on "Run Run Run" doesn't stray far from the original musically, though their voices and turning the song into a duet makes it feel all new again. Clarkson starts off quiet and deep, contemplatively singing the opening verse before opening up and kicking up the volume for the chorus.

When Legend kicks in, that's when "Run Run Run" really takes off. Not only does he match Clarkson's vocal journey perfectly with his own volume, but the two's voices blend together seamlessly and heartbreakingly, as Clarkson enters in the perfect amount of vibrato and Legend does his own classic crooning.

It's a beautiful duet, simply put.
