The first single, “Empty Me” officially impacts Christian radio on the 22nd.
Chris will also be a guest commentator for Entertainment Weekly, along with Nadia Turner and Jon Peter Lewis.
Launching a promotional tour this week to support his first radio single, “Empty Me,” Sligh will hit markets including Dallas, Houston, Tulsa, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Orlando, and also kicks off the week as an official American Idol commentator for Entertainment Weekly online. Operating on a three week rotating schedule with our two other commentators (Jon Peter Lewis and Nadia Turner), Sligh will write commentaries through the lens of his experiences on American Idol; from comments about the singers, the judges, the set, and more, including any relatable anecdotes or stories from personal Idol experiences.
I’ll be picking up this CD went it drops. I’ve heard many of the songs when he played them live New Years Eve in Westerly, RI. Good stuff…
