Kris Allen sang these songs for the first time in 2018

Happy new year Kris fans! I thought for a little recap for 2018, I'd make a YouTube playlist of songs that were first sung by Kris in 2018. Since he mainly just did one-offs, the Idol tour and the holiday show, but didn't put out a full album, the playlist doesn't have too much on it. The two originals that haven't been released yet - hopefully we'll get official versions in 2019. (Kris said during meet and greets this year that he hopes to have new music out by the end of March.)



On this 2018 playlist, you'll find these songs (and I'll put in some mp3 links too for my favorites):

• When All the Stars Have Died [Apple Music | Spotify | Google Play | Amazon]
• Waiting on You (original - not released yet so no mp3)
• Safe Harbor (original - not released yet so no mp3)
• Freedom '90 (amazing cover with Delta Rae, Sean McConnell and Josh Jenkins) [mp3]
• Rainbow Connection (backing Maddie Poppe in the Idol tour)
• Folsom Prison Blues (backing Caleb Lee Hutchison in the Idol tour)
• There's Nothing Holding Me Back (Idol tour finale) [mp3]
• Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) (great cover from the Christmas tour) [mp3]

Be safe and Happy New Year. Here's to new music in 2019!

Kris Allen's new single When All The Stars Have Died is out!

It's interesting and very heartfelt. Not my favorite song by Kris (I am more one for his inspirational or angsty stuff) but I do like it. Check it out - links below.

Stream and/or buy it:

June 2018 catch-up post

So this is a catch-up post for all things Kris for the last few weeks! Real life has kept me very busy. Apologies for that! Here's what's been happening Kris-wise:

New single on Friday June 29!
We never see Kris tweet anything anymore (it's all IG stories from him) so it was a great and nice surprise to see this little bit of news pop up:

Show on June 23
We had almost no advance notice of this (which is why you should follow me on Twitter, because I did have a second to RT the tweet from one of the other performers). Kris performed at the Listening Room in Nashville on June 23. We know he sang Faster Shoes and that's about all we know. I wonder if he performed that new single? If you were there, let us know in the comments!

Checking out Kris Allen, Dean Fields, and Maybe April. An American songwriter, America’s sweethearts, and an American Idol!!! #singersongwriter @maybeaprilmusic @kris_allen #countrymusic @listeningroomcafe
