Kris will be on The Today Show on Thursday, 9/15, in the 10 a.m. hour. He's going to promote the KidzBop contest he's involved with, but supposedly he's also going to talk about his upcoming album.

A Kris demo has leaked. Don't know whether it's for the first album or the new one but I love it!

MORE LEAKS! Guess this comes with the territory for RCA. soundcloud.com/sirknella/sets/kris-allen-demos#Fighters is a good song. I Dont Wanna Know sounds kind of out of place for Kris. Love Too Much. Seriously? Has to be my favorite song ever by Kris. Its just incredible.

These songs are all from the KATA era per MTV's Jim Cantiello:
@jambajim @krisallen so everyone knows those 3 demos that leaked are from a million years ago, right?? #itgetsbetter
There was a (false) rumor going around earlier this summer that Haley Reinhart was going to record "Love Too Much" for her album, so these demos must have been out there for a while but just hadn't been leaked until now. LTM is fantastic, but it must not have fit the image 19/Jive were going for with him at the time. Shame.

While "Love Too Much" and "I Don't Wanna Know" are definitely from the KATA era writing sessions, I'm fairly sure "Fighters" is not. I don't think any of them are making the sophomore album, though, so we're still 100% in the dark for what the general sound will be like.

Massive fail on Jive/Kris' part for not including Love Too Much on the first album.

I remember that whole "albums a mess" controversy with Jim and Rickey back then. I wonder if these songs were a part of that mess and it's why it didn't make the album.

I remember that whole "albums a mess" controversy with Jim and Rickey back then. I wonder if these songs were a part of that mess and it's why it didn't make the album. Was Jim involved with that? I thought it was just Rickey. One of the songs from that drama was "I Need To Know" which did make the album. My theory about that whole incident was that it was part of a hit job, whispering campaign sort of thing with ulterior motives, not really about the quality of the music itself so much as trying to steer the content of the album away from songs like INTK or LTM, because they weren't squeaky clean enough for the Kris/album they were trying to sell at the time. Kris comments on the songs (among other things): Had a pretty exciting day yesterday and did some cool stuff. Hung out at the @donorschoose office. Those people are doing amazing things. Saw a beautiful screening of the George Harrison documentary. Then had dinner with the some of the coolest people around. Yep. That includes you @jambajim and @musicempowers. And I hear some of you got a hold of some new (but very old) music. Glad you like it but the best is yet to come.

I love all three of the leaked tracks, but "Love Too Much" is on a totally different level. Can't believe he gave that to Haley Reinhart.

Basically, someone who had/knew of the demos went to a popular Idol blogger with "inside knowledge" that she'd been signed and her first single would be "Love Too Much". It was the typical internet thing where someone uses a small piece of true inside info and throws in their own twists, to make themselves look more connected than they actually are. Though Kris' publishing deal is through Universal, right, so if another artist was recording his material it would be a UMG artist.

Who Kris has his publishing deal with (in this case UMG) has nothing to do with who he can license or give his music to .Anyone can record his stuff, as long as they have the rights to it -- they don't have to be signed to a Universal label. Same thing with licensing it.
As for the demos, I love Love Too Much. I hope that that song gets licensed or recorded by someone in some way -- it's too good to just be tossed aside. I like the other 2 songs as well.

Kris confirmed via twitter that Love Too Much was co-written with Kevin Rudolph. Now I really dont get it. If its a co-write with a well known writer, how in the hell did it not make the album?

If its a co-write with a well known writer, how in the hell did it not make the album? :o That was the Kevin Rudfolf song?! Nothing was said about that collaboration after it happened, I figured their styles didn't work together and the song didn't amount to much. Since that obviously wasn't the case, what gives? If you play it backwards, the chorus says Simon Cowell is a botoxed d-bag? The best case scenario is that Kris had second thoughts and didn't want it on the album for whatever reason. The worst...

Kris confirmed in an interview with J-14 Magazine that "Fighter" is a contender for his sophomore album. So it is not an old demo. No word on the co-writer. Also timeline on album release is still TBD but hopes to have a single out this year. www.j-14.com/2011/10/exclusive-qa-with-kris-allen.html

DAVE FILICE INTERVIEW - 9/23/11 "A fan of Kris Allen said: Dave, it’s mentioned that not long ago you worked on a track for Kris Allen. How was that experience and did you actually get to meet him? I did. I had met Kris before, though at a NAMM show event a few years ago. He has always been a nice guy and seems so humble. He was in the studio with Mike K, who co-wrote and produced the song with him, when I did the bass session. It was at a studio called The Village in Los Angeles. It was a really cool track they wrote and he sounded great on it. That guy can sing!" wearethekidsblog.com/post/10993192339/dave-filice-interview-9-23-11

KrisAllen: #havent found a producer yet guys but experimenting right now with some different ones.
I thought he was top priority for his label. I would think they would have top producers lined up for him by now.

I would think they would have top producers lined up for him by now. That was Jive before the RCA/Jive merger and now Jive has closed down. He was not said to be "top" priority but a priority as well as other artists that were previewed. He is now with RCA so priorities have shifted for Q4. He is not the only RCA artist who was expected to release in Q4 who have now be pushed back to 2012. Kris knows what he wants the finished songs to sound like and he needs a producer who understand what he wants and can bring something new to the project to enhance what Kris wants.
