Kris Allen's Full Debut Single Premieres
When Kris Allen performed on the season 8 American Idol finale alongside Keith Urban this year, I feared he might go in a country direction--a fear that was only solidified when I learned that his first post-Idol single would be called "Live Like We're Dying," a title bearing uncanny similarity to Tim McGraw's "Live Like You Were Dying."
But Kris's new single was premiered on the radio this week, and I am happy to report that it does not sound country at all. It sounds...well, it sounds like KRIS ALLEN. What I mean by that is, if I were flipping around my radio dial and I heard this tune, sans any radio DJ back-announcement, I would just know it was Kris's new single. Although it's actually a cover of a B-side by rising Irish band the Script, it still sounds distinctively like Kris...and more importantly, it sounds like a hit.
Too bad this couldn't have been Kris's coronation song instead of "No Boundaries":
The sound is catchy but its a song that I think I would easily get tired listening to.
"I think I actually like it and this is from a freaking Adam fan"
and im an adam fan as well :)
Man I'll cry if Adam releases cheesy dance/electronica/pop music and is marketed as Lord Gaga. Seriously. So many people hate her and he will be mocked to pieces, DNW that! His Citizen Vein stuff (eg. Nocturnal By The Moon) suits him so much. I'm still confused as to why he dropped rock for dance/pop. Born To Be Wild was his weakest studio yet he said that's the closest studio track his album sounds like, oh god. I'm soooo worried for him you have no idea. Same with Allison, DNW her morphed into another Disney singer when her voice is AMAZING and mature, she really deserves solid material. I want these 3 to do well so bad. And I want Matt G to get signed.
