KRIS ALLEN - BRING IT BACK American Idol Season 8 Winner

Kris Allen performs Bring it Back from his new CD.
Update
Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG) today announced the signing of an exclusive world-wide publishing agreement with American Idol winner Kris Allen. The publishing deal encompasses Kris Allen's self-titled album as well as future works during the term of the agreement.
Sony Music and 19 Entertainment have announced that The Truth will start to hit radio next week, but not without some help. Theyve enlisted Pat Monahan of Train to add vocals to the track.
Monahan wrote the song along with producer Toby Gad for Allens album. He can now be heard on the single, most likely thanks to the huge success of his bands Top 3 smash, Hey, Soul Sister.
"I look forward to a long and prosperous relationship with Monti Olson and the creative staff at Universal Music Publishing Group," said Kris Allen.
"I am proud that a songwriter of Kris' caliber would choose to make Universal Music Publishing Group his home. I look forward to the future with Kris," said Monti Olson, Senior Vice President, A&R, Universal Music Publishing Group.
Kris Allen's post-Idol self-titled album was released in November 2009 through Jive Records, hitting Top 20 on the Billboard 200 and Top 10 on Top Digital Albums. Kris collaborated with UMPG's The Script on his first single "Live Like We're Dying" and "Written All Over My Face."
Kris' path to victory on American Idol included memorable performances of Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine," Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror" and Kanye West's "Heartless." Kris was praised by the judges for his original arrangements of such well-known songs.
Managed by Stirling McIlwaine, Kris Allen joins UMPG's successful roster of artists including past Idol contestants the multi-platinum Chris Daughtry and new signing Jason Castro.

@zonebran117 Wow, hadn't thought of that until I read your comment. But yeah.

[hellokatya]

too bad he's taken :p

[keikocat2001]

That's what I thought too. I think his best career path would be to play small spaces - his style is very intimate, more of a cabaret style.
