Kris Allen Single Announcement "as soon as next week"

2012-01-25T20:30:00.000-06:00

HOT995:

KRIS ALLEN fans... get ready for THE OFFICIAL single and CD details from RCA records as soon as next week!

Here's what we know...
Sources close to the label and ALLEN's radio promotions team at RCA Records, who had a possible REMIX of ALLEN'S song leak after one manager of one of a remix DJ, clearly excited, posted a link to the remix on his TWITTER timeline this week, say that the label will release their offical plans at some point next week.

Quoting those sources close to the label...
"Kris’ new album is almost done & this is one of the songs that we’re super psyched about... and is in the running to be the first single. Because the original version of “The Vision Of Love” is uptempo Kris thought it would be cool to... on the down-low... experiment with some fresh, unexpected remixes... the producers we’ve approached have all been really into the song... and it seems like this trance remix team from Finland called Maison & Dragen just got a little over-excited with their version."

It should also be pointed out that the single's official title HAS NOT been confirmed by the label, although these things generally are found in the chorus - or hook - of a single.

While specifics and plans are still days away, the one thing that is clear is this: RCA's promotions team is paying attention to fan leaks, conversations on social networks and more when it comes to their artists and 2012 future releases.

And, from the way they've reacted to this possible leak, it's clear RCA has some pretty signifigant plans to be in the KRIS ALLEN business with this new CD!

Time will tell... and it won't be much longer now!

Take a listen to "Stand for the Vision of Love - REMIX"

J-14 Interview

2011-10-11T21:39:00.001-05:00

J-14 recently sat down at the SiriusXM Radio studios in New York City to chat exclusively with American Idol season 8 winner Kris Allen, who's currently a celebrity mentor and judge for the web series and talent search Kidz Stars USA. New episodes air every other day featuring the top four finalists Taylor Mae LaCour, Timyra-Joi Beatty, Kiana Brown, and Joshua Bernstein are battling it out in vocal challenges until the winner is announced on October 21. To check out these talented kids, watch the webisodes featuring Kris, and for more information head over to KidzStarUSA.com

We stepped behind the scenes of the web series where Kris dished to us all about what it was like working with the kids for Kidz Stars, the status of his sophomore album, and life after Idol.

J-14: You're currently the celebrity mentor and judge for Kidz Stars USA. How do you think it compares to American Idol with kids so much younger that are dealing with being pushed in to the spotlight?
Kris Allen: It's definitely different, but I feel like for the most part these kids are handling it better probably than maybe I did before all this stuff. I think the competition is a little bit different, but kind of the same deal. They put a video up on the Internet and said, "Hey listen to me sing. I feel like I'm good," and these kids are really confident and maybe that's why it comes across so easy for them. It really does. It's something that I wasn't. I mean when I was that age I didn't expect anything. I wasn't like 'listen to me I can sing' you know so it's been really cool to just watch them just kill it, really. They're so good in interviews and everything. Yes, they have voices but we did interviews in one of these studios and they were all just so good at it, just really mature in their age and it was cool.

J-14: What's been the most rewarding part for you of this process?
Kris: Just for me I feel like I've gotten a lot out of it and like I said it's been very inspiring. These kids are so driven and so, "I want to do this. I love music. This is what I want to do." I wasn't like that. I feel like I'm like that now but sometimes it gets forgotten in the business and all that stuff. These kids just love music, that's why they're doing this and that's why I started making music so it's been very, very inspiring for me. It's been so humbling. It's awesome.

J-14: What's the status of your sophomore album?
Kris: Right now we have a lot of songs and we're trying to get in to the studio as soon as possible. There's no time lines for anything right now. I wish I could say a single's coming out next week or today, I wish I could say that. I can't but the stuff is good. It feels really good, I'm really excited about it and I want people to hear it. It'll get out whenever is the right time, you know? We're going to try and get on the road but we don't want to get on the road unless there's new music so. We're going to hopefully put out a single this year and then get on the road.

J-14: Some new songs of yours leaked on to the web recently. Do you want to confirm or deny if they're new songs or old songs?
Kris: There were three songs that were leaked. One of them, I think the first one was a song that is possibly a contender for the album. And then the two others were songs that were from the last record. I wrote "Love Too Much," with Kevin Rudolf and the other one, to be honest, I didn't remember writing the song which shows you how long ago it was. I was listening to it and was like, "What song is this?" because I didn't remember the title at all and I was listening on my phone and was like, "I don't remember singing this song, I don't remember writing this song." I'm glad that they liked that stuff because some of the stuff that's going to be on the album is better than that so.

J-14: How do you think the sound of this album is going to compare to your debut album?
Kris: The first album I think for what it was it turned out really good, but everything happened really fast. This is obviously not happening really fast for this album. We had four months to make the record and three of those months I was on tour so it was kind of like days off, let's go in to the studio and record a song. So we've obviously had more time to write, a lot more songs to pick from which is going to be hard. There's a large number of songs that are really good which I guess is a good problem to have. I'm very, very excited about this. I really am. I think the songs are better. I think it's going to have a little bit more of a cohesive vibe to it. I'm just excited.

New Kris Allen Demos [Audio + Lyrics] - "Fighters" "Love Too Much" & "I Don't Wanna Know"

2011-09-15T14:45:00.003-05:00

A new demo from Kris Allen surfaced online Thursday morning. The title of the song is "Fighters." No word if this is a track in the running for his new album or just some old content we haven't heard before.

Fighters:

"Fighters" Lyrics
You say that this life’s wearing you out
and you need something to live for
I know what you’re talkin’ bout
Screaming out loud
top of your lungs
and I bet they’re not even listening
I know what you’re talkin’ ’bout

So raise your fears
and don’t forget
we were born
to be fighters
we are strong
we’re survivors

They could knock you down and make you fall
but we’ll get back up cause after all
we’re born to be fighters
and we’re fighting for life

Been through a war
put up a fight
and your heart is taking a beating
I can see it in your eyes
But I see the fire
I feel the flame
and it’s burning inside you
I can see it in your eyes

So raise your fears
and don’t forget
we were born to be fighters
we are strong
we’re survivors

They could knock you down and make you fall
well we’ll get back up cause after all
we’re born
to be fighters
And we’re fighting for life

Love Too Much:

"Love Too Much" Lyrics:
Everybody plays a fool
And I thought that I was safe with you
I never thought you’d say, you’d be on your way
So take my hand, ‘cause I can’t move

If I was wrong, you should’ve let me know before
I don’t know if I can take this anymore
Staring down the barrel of a gun
About to pay the price for something I haven’t done
‘Cause you could end it all with just one touch
I guess my only crime is that I love too much

Can I make my last request?
Just remember I’m the one who loves you best
And if there’s no way out, you could end it now
Without you I have nothing left to lose

If I was wrong, you should’ve let me know before
I don’t know if I can take this anymore
Staring down the barrel of a gun
About to pay the price for something I haven’t done
‘Cause you could end it all with just one touch
I guess my only crime is that I love too much

They tell me that I’m seeing things
You let me fall so easily
And how beautiful you are
But how dangerous is this love?
Staring down the barrel of a gun
About to pay the price for something I haven’t done
‘Cause you could end it all with just one touch
I guess my only crime is that I love too much
Staring down the barrel of a gun
About to pay the price for something I haven’t done
‘Cause you could end it all with just one touch
I guess my only crime is that I love too much

Oh, I love too much
Yeah, I love too much
Oh, I love too much
Yeah, don’t love no more.

I Don't Wanna Know:

"I Don't Wanna Know" Lyrics:
Breathe in, I can't breathe out
I can't make a sound
The night is fading
You're sleeping
I'm scared to dream now
I'm screaming out loud
Cause you can't hear me
I've been holding on to you

If all my words were stolen
All my roads were broken
I'd be standing right here on my own

and if your heart was taken
I'd still be there waiting
I'm afraid I'd die the day you ever let me go
I don't wanna know.

Wake up
before I break down
I need to feel you now
your skin on my skin
you tell me
baby you're crazy
I need you to save me
and pull me back in to say you're holding on to me

If all our words were stolen
All my roads were broken
I'd be standing right here on my own

and if your heart was taken
I'd still be there waiting
I'm afraid I'd die the day you ever let me go
I don't wanna know

how it feels to be alone without you
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
what I would be if I never found you
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
and all that I want is to stay forever
I'll be holding on to you
