Is that from FMQB? I swear I tried that three hours ago and it didn't work. -_- Maybe it's because that's an MP3 instead of an M3U (whatever that is). Anyway, I like it a lot--nice harmonies!

even the unmixed version is still more pop than HAC, which is what i had assumed it would be. what kind of sound is he going with this new album?

It sounds great to me. I hope he can find a Jason Mraz-type of success but probably to a lesser-extent. His first album was so under appreciated.

I love that clip, and the remix is perfect as well. Never thought I'd be excited for a Kris Allen release!

It sounds pleasant, but if I'm being honest it sounds like the type of 80's pop/rock power ballad that you now hear on Adult Contemporary stations. So not too exciting.

Such an exciting & enthralling song. It's really anthemic. Need the full version now! I didn't think the remix could be topped, but I may be wrong.

Sounds amazing so far and I am so glad that they are releasing something that is very much a pop song instead of something HAC based. The Truth killed the last album, so Im glad that it looks like theyve learned from their mistakes.

Kris' voice sounds forced in the falsetto, it doesn't feel like a finished version, could be a demo.

I need to hear the full song, but I do like it a lot. The falsetto is awesome, so glad it survived from the remix (which I'm crazy about). It's a little different than the PSA clip which has some awesome processed vocals at the end.
Hopefully the final version will start streaming somewhere soon. Isn't that snippet marked as not the final master? Confused.

And yes, it was marked un mastered for me too.

I hope it's an early demo because the new snippet is a mess.

I listened to the clip, and was not impressed. His voice is great, but the production is horrible. It sounds very unmixed, very amateurish, and I'm hoping it's a demo. If that's the finished version, then whoever produced it needs to be fired. Hoping the full version is better..

:'( That clip is incredible. I need this in my life desperately. I'm going to call it right now, this is going to be a big hit for him.

Ugh. Vision of Love sounds much better :/ Anyway... I am excited to hear the full song! It's such an unexpected sound from Kris, yet it works so well for his voice imo. The remix was an even bigger surprise, I hardly like remixes but I actually love this one!

The original sounds flawless too. :'(
Hope this does something for him, but I don't really see pop embracing him.

The song sounds OK but not a smash hit material. I must be the only one who find it bizarre that his popularity in the idol fandom doesn't really translate into music/ticket sales. I know Kris's first single sold really well, but sales of LLWD v. sales of KATA shows that even with a top10 radio hit Kris' albums might not connect with a wider audience than his small core fanbase.

Kris just did a small show in LA to preview some new music. From what I heard on the cell-cast, everything sounds amazing. Miles better than his first album IMO.
VOL was performed and its crazy good. Snippet does not do it justice at all.

So obvious lol! Can't think of a better comeback? Kris's threads always remind me of David Archuleta's . Anyway, I heard a live version of "Vision Of Love" and I think LLWD was miles better than this.

Kris debuted Vision of Love at his gig at The Mint in L.A. last night. It was an acoustic gig (him and bandmates Cale Mills & Chris Torres). Here's video of VOL. This person has videos of the whole set on his YT channel -- Kris debuted 5 new songs last night, plus did a fun mashup of Rihanna/Katy Perry/Lady gaga tunes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3Y-47llg1c&feature=player_embedded

That sounded so great! His voice is so good. His banter on the medley was hilarious. girl: "I LOVE YOU!" Kris: "Are you gonna throw that at me? I'm scared now!" hahaha

Absolutely loved the full version of VOL from last night's show at The Mint. It's going to be great.
As expected, no trouble at all with that falsetto.

Love the live performance of it from last night. I always prefer his tracks live, over the studio versions (so I am now set and happy). As delusional as I might be, I really hope this can go somewhere on pop (top 20 at the very least). I am just so glad insanely joyful he's actually releasing a sophomore studio album with label support. To be honest, I thought he was going to get dropped after The Truth flopped, and the album didn't even achieve Gold .

He took too long to prepare his second album, so i expect nothing less than perfect from him.
