Kris Allen’s debut album drops Novemember 17. You’ve seen the album art, now check out a behind the scenes video taken the day of the shoot. It’s after the jump.
Another little tidbit of news–Kris told a DJ this morning that the music video for his single, “Live Like We’re Dying” will premiere next Friday, November 6.
If anybody has a link to the radio interview, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

I’m going to listen to it by the way they are arranged in the album. I can’t choose which one I want to listen to first, I just can’t. Too many beautiful songs in that album!!!

Same here. Since I can’t pick a favorite so I just keep playing this YT album sampler instead. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1yGTvLqNj0&feature=related After 1001 times I still haven’t gotten sick of any of the songs. So that’s amazing and I’m very very pleased.
Btw, I love love many of the beautiful quitar works in many of the songs.

I, on the other hand, shall be jumping straight to ‘I Need to Know’, followed by ‘Red Guitar’, then ‘Is It Over’ and perhap “Let it Rain’ then I’ll go back to the start and listen in the correct order.
I picked these coz I feel there are most personal to Kris and his influence in the lyrics & music will probably be most prevalent in these song.
I am DYING to hear all of “Let It Rain.” That’s top of the list for me.
I am still sticking with my favorite as WAOMF. But of the songs that I haven’t heard in their entirety, I think it is “Bring it Back” and “Let it Rain” are at the top of my list. God, I can’t wait!!
“I think it is ‘Bring it Back’ and ‘Let it Rain’ are at the top of my list. ”
Bring it back is soooo beautiful!!! I mean. it’s tailor-made for a Movie/TV soundtrack.
“God, I can’t wait!!”
I know!!!! It’s killing me!!! BUt thank@god for 6th Nov. although, he could have released the music video few days earlier, JS!!!
I think I’m going to listen to it from beginning to end the first time around and then go back for more in depth listens to individual songs.
BTW Seeker, no need to apologize for long posts imo.
Hahaha Kris twitted this:
KrisAllen4Real Y’all think it would be cool if I trick or treated tonight? If I don’t then I’m probably just gonna steal the candy from innocent kids.
I’m beginning to think LET IT RAIN might be the boot song for S9. If that’s the case, they might release that as the next single before maybe CAN’T STAY AWAY.
Though I’ve heard only the snippets, I think these two songs are going to be huge hits.
I really love WAOMF than both of these two songs but I doubt they will release it right behind LLWD.
Kinda hoping Bring It Back will be the next single. Couldn’t you imagine him smoldering through that video? *Purrrrrrrr*
Yeay, HWeen. I’m blasting the snippets while receiving many kids trick-or-treating tonight
Some of them were dancing to the songs … of course they got more candies than others, hence!!
I’m still loving all the snippets, and still can’t decide which the most. It must be difficult for Jive to choose the next single – even the fans are not cohesive on any particular song, everyone of the snippets has single potential (maybe not INTK) and many are POP potential.
Tonight I’m digging the presumed ballads more – The Truth and Bring It Back.
Ok, have to answer another doorbell… Happy HWeen guys…
I really do think the next single will be either of the songs he performed at the tailgate. Seeker has a point: it was a warm-up to see which songs got the best crowd reaction. Kris already knows critics love “Can’t Stay Away” (Lyndsey Parker suggested it as the next single, and Michael Slezak and Jim Cantiello seem to concur), and so far among fans it remains the one with the best reaction. So there is a very good chance “Can’t Stay Away” will be the next single. If they do choose that as the next single and it skyrockets through the charts as I expect it to, it would be great if Kris performed it when he comes back to the AI stage next season.
I’m so proud of this album. I admit I did not have faith in Jive and Kris’s management and truly believed he was getting shafted after seeing how poorly run the official site is and how poorly promoted “Live Like We’re Dying” was, but I feel like when it comes to the album, Jive really came through for him. They let his voice shine on all of the songs, and I love that he was involved in the writing of 9 songs. I bet if Kris had his way he would write all of the songs, but I think he’s also really savvy – he knows that collaborating with people who know their way around the music business will help him more so than harm him. I see little compromise on this album (but I may have to wait until I hear the entire album to form a definite conclusion), so that bodes well for Kris’s future albums.
My favorite song today: “Written All Over My Face”. Wasn’t a big fan when it was performed at the tailgate, but this studio recording sounds amazing. And it’s so upbeat and sway-worthy.
X Factor just finished, and boy, do I miss Kris Allen. When Joe sang ‘Don’t Stop Believing’, I really miss Kris coz he impressed me when he sang the first few lines during their group performance, then Olly ended the show with none other than ‘Come Together’. For the uninitiated, Olly is the protege of Simon. So Simon chose Come Together for Olly. I couldn’t believe it coz Olly ( I like Olly the best amongst this yr’s contestants) is IMO, a weaker singer than Kris. Olly’s performance was not by any means bad, but definitely no way better than Kris’. I had it when Simon was all over fawning the performance. Yet when Kris did it in AI, he slammed it it hard. I’m still bitter, argh, really wanna strangle his neck, Simon that is.
Which brings me now to ‘Let It Rain’ repeat….
Wow. Its amazing how every time I listen to the snippets, I have a new “favorite song”. Kind of like what happened when I listen to my Kings of Leon album. And that album was pretty awesome.
Kris looks great in this video. I really like that black jacket he wears outside on the stairs. I think they will have some great shots to use as promotion. Nice. The song sounds great too.
I know what you’re talking about. I don’t really follow X-factor, but I watched a couple of episodes from the previous season. Simon has a shallow musical pool, and a big ego. He copies ideas from Idol, ask his protege to do it, and then fawn all over it to show his choice is right.
I was aghast at Billy Jean last year by Austin Drage. No means it was bad, but it’s gonna pale in comparison to DC. And he was fawning all over it, as if that was the most amazing thing over it and Louie called him on it. And I thought someone mentioned of this really down-to-earth contestant, where Simon mentioned humility as part of his appeal yet berated Kris endlessly as lack of self confidence. This year it was Danyl with Feeling Good, and now Olly.
Simon thinks he can “recreate” new stars based on what worked in AI, and that will never work because it’s not from within the singer’s natural persona.
i’m in love with Kris and his music…
Me too, and after watching this video too many times I’ve kind of developed a crush on the photographer too.
Kris mentions in the Wal-Mart soundcheck video that it was important to him that the sound of his album was organic. He specifically says he wanted live drums, guitar and piano to be the base of the song and to throw in “a little bit of production” into it. Yay!
The more organic the better. Good for Kris for knowing what he wanted the album to incorporate.
I watched that too Starr and really liked what Kris said!
I can’t wait (once again) to hear the entire song for each track! I hope the production turned out just how he wanted it to-or at least close.
Songs in my head at various times today: Is It Over, Bring It Back, Lifetime, Can’t Stay Away.
gulfluv:
LOL!!! I do love the photographer’s artistry for sure!
Kris looks so good in that album cover shoot, yummm. If only he had been a bit taller, I’d have a full blown crush on him, heh.
When I first heard the snippets, I actually thought that that it sounded “too enhanced” but repeating them over and over made me dispel this notion. I hope I will not be disappointed in that regards come Nov. 17th.
carmine: I get what you mean. At first when I heard “Lifetime” I was like, what the heck that song does not have any distinct instrumentation in the background. But when I listened a couple times around I heard it towards the end of the snippet. Same with “Bring It Back”. I had a bad taste in my mouth after the first listen, but heard the pretty instrumentation in the background of the chorus.
Starr:
Lifetime was my least favorite when I first listened to the snippets. Now, I cant get it out of my head. Especially the line “to find my place in the world symphony”. Very haunting.
Wow, Kris is so beautiful, isn’t he?? Great photoshoot!
P.S. That photographer is pretty hot, too
