Kris Allen Before We Come Undone

Kris Allen Before We Come Undone from his new CD. His song Live Like We're Dying is currently on the charts.

"Kris Allen" (19 Recordings/Jive) was released Nov. 17, and odds are good that Allen can build off his digital single sales success from "American Idol." To date, Allen has sold 1.1 million copies of tracks he performed on the show, according to Nielsen SoundScan, lead by his version of the show's coronation song "No Boundaries" with 312,000. Allen sold more total "Idol" tracks than runner-up Adam Lambert (997,000) or fourth-place finisher Allison Iraheta (79,000).

"The exposure an up-and-coming artist receives from 'American Idol' is nothing short of amazing," RCA/Jive Label Group chairman/CEO Barry Weiss says. "Where else in today's difficult music industry can one get five years of artist development, artist loyalty and public awareness achieved in a short five months?"

The first single from the album, "Live Like We're Dying," is being worked to top 40 and hot AC radio and has sold 98,000 copies, according to SoundScan. Jive Label Group GM/executive VP Tom Carrabba says Allen will have 13 TV appearances between now and New Year's Eve. "We have 'Idol' fans and young girls as big supporters, but I think we can also attract moms and guys who are going to respect his live performance," he says.

Much of Allen's success on "Idol" derived from his ability to insert his skills on guitar and piano into his performances, creating affable interpretations of songs like OneRepublic's "Apologize" and Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine." For his debut album, Allen takes a similar approach, relying on his musicality for a collection of guitar-driven pop.

How do people like justin bieber become so popular? when people like Kris Allen are like gods compared to people like justin bieber. some times i don't get humanity at all

[booklover34]

Anyone else hear "bodies out the door" during the chorus? I know that's not what he's saying, but that's what I hear. ;)

Kris Allen obviously has a great voice, but he also inevitably was molded into that "American Idol" stereo type" sound that is nothing but cliche. It's sad how the big machine just picks up these fresh, impressive talents and chews them up into pieces.

[BlizzBlah]
