Also, he tweeted this yesterday. Hopefully this means his album will be released soon.

Yesssssssss. Wonder if he'll release a lead single to radio - he's still unsigned, right?

According to the Amazon listing, the album is being released on Mighty Mouse Records - considering I can find absolutely nothing about it online, I'm going to presume that's independent.

I was just coming back to edit: he released his Waiting For Christmas EP to iTunes under "My T Mouse Records," so I'm sure it's a vanity label w/o major distro (that's what I meant to say; thanks for making the distinction, JOJO SIWA DERANGEMENT SYNDROME).

My T Mouse was Kris' corporation out of CA that was listed on his Christmas EP so Mighty Mouse Records must be Kris' own label. Kris was seeking outside distribution but still no word on that.

Label is now listed as DogBear Records, which I'm pretty sure is still indie. Artwork/tracklist thanks to Amazon, where you can also preview each track: 1. Young Love ("Paul Simon") 2. Prove It To You (feat. Lenachka) 3. Beautiful & Wild 4. In Time 5. Lost 6. Don't Set Me Free 7. Everybody Just Wants To Dance 8. Parachute 9. It's Always You 10. Girl Across The Room

The clips sound alright, but nowhere near as good as anything on TYC. I loved that album from start to finish.

Yesssssssss. Wonder if he'll release a lead single to radio - he's still unsigned, right? Yeah, I don't know how that's going to work. It's pretty impossible to get on the radio without a label backing you. From the snippets of the songs I haven't heard before, I really think I'll love Lost. Kris' voice sounds amazing on that, he's really grown into his voice so much and emoting through his vocals just comes so easily for him. His authenticity always comes through. I'm not really getting the choice of single at this point, maybe when I hear the whole song ...

His duet partner on the single Prove To You has been working with Charlie Peacock on her own album. Which may or may not have played into why this song was chosen as the first single.
The snippets are so short, but I'm really liking what I'm hearing. I think "Lost" could end up being a favorite.
So happy that we'll be able to pre-order the album soon. Hopefully Kris will let us know whether the single is going to be sent to radio

I was holding out hope that he would end up being distributed by an indie label or at least get a promo company behind it at radio (though I think that's a more common practice at AAA radio, rather than HAC), but it's not looking like that'll be the case. Even if it does get radio promo, I think "Prove It To You" sounds way too light to do anything (and it's not using it to its advantage, like the minimal production on Lorde's "Royals," for example). Oh, well; "The Vision Of Love" didn't do that well anyway, so radio promo would probably end up being a waste of time and money. Guess we'll see!

I think this album will be my favorite of his. The clips are absolutely beautiful. I already like it way better than TYC. I guess my only issue so far is Everybody Just Wants To Dance. It sounds like it belongs on a Raffi album or something. I remember when he played Paul Simon live. What a great song. I'll definitely buy this album. I'm glad he's still making music.
