Maybe this was known already ( Instagram revealed they worked together), but the song K.S. Rhoads wrote with Kris is "Lost," according to ASCAP. Nothing else from the new album is on ASCAP.

I am actually obsessed with this song. It is so much better than the preview suggested.

Not what I was expecting for the first single off of this, but it's a really pretty, understated song. Looking forward to hearing the rest.

Parachute Weird - I see +180 distributed a strange assortment of albums including the new Katie Herzig and Dan Wilson albums, plus the Despicable Me 2 and Oblivion soundtracks, that are actually on another label...so maybe it's a bigger distributor? I wish I knew more about that kind of stuff. (ETA: lol I searched and see you talked about this already on Twitter; never mind) For what it's worth, if you convert the ASIN code on the CD listing to a UPC, that's the UPC that shows up everywhere, including Best Buy, FYE, etc.; the ASIN for the MP3 version doesn't have a UPC associated with it. ETA: Oh, also, Kris (well, Lindsay) has a SoundCloud now: https%3A//soundcloud.com/officialkrisallen/prove-it-to-you-kris-allen-featuring-lenachka

He's got a big banner on iTunes on the singer/songwriter page and Prove It To You is listed as #1 on the editor's choice iTunes list.
Probably not coincidentally, both the album and single have re-emerged on the iTunes overall chart (in addition, of course, to on the singer-songwriter chart)
PS - Kris' son Oliver turns 1 today

Kris and family has now officially relocated to Nashville, TN after selling their house in Conway, AR. Hopefully Kris will find better opportunities for collaborations in the Music City. "Today me and family said goodbye to the beautiful state of Arkansas and moved to Tennessee. An incredibly bittersweet moment in our lives. We love our state and will always consider ourselves Arkansans. But happy to start this new chapter in our lives. Thank you to the people of this state for always supporting me in everything that I have done. We love y'all so much! #Arkansas " ~Kris 08-05/2014 http://instagram.com/p/rVtGZSSy-h His friend Adam Hambrick (co-writer of "It's Always You" on Horizons) posted a pic of new residents. Y'all, welcome Nashville's newest residents @krisallen, @katyallen, Oliver and Zorro

Sucks AI winners are getting such lousy treatment in the industry. Kris is far too talented to have such a quiet album release.

Sucks AI winners are getting such lousy treatment in the industry. Kris is far too talented to have such a quiet album release. He's far too good looking, too. In all seriousness, while I watched him on 'Idol', I wasn't a huge fan. His music afterwards, however, has been superb. He has a great voice and he's a true artist. He's hands-on with all of his music, and he's put out great stuff. I smile whenever I hear his songs on the radio, or on a store's playlist. I wish he would catch on in mainstream radio because people have no clue what they're missing!

Thanks! Hopefully it follows suit to the greatness of the first two albums. The snippets didn't excite me that much, though.

It might be a grower, but I'm disappointed. :( It was all just very... bland. It's sad when a Camelia leftover is one of my favorites on the new album.
edit: The entire album (other than a few of the first tracks) has grown on me, Girl Across the Room inparticular. Such a lovely song that I'm sure was written before When I Was Your Man.

Can't wait to pick up the album today after work. I'm surprised Target/Best Buy weren't advertising it in their ads this week (going by them, the only new releases this week are R&B singer Tank and Caleb Johnson).

Yeah it all kind of blends together. Pleasant but very pedestrian and mediocre on the whole. Underwhelmed.

We know from KATA and TYC that Kris could do a super polished pop/singer-songwriter album to perfection, so it's kind of clear that he was quite pointedly NOT going for that sound this round. I think not being signed to a major really gave him the freedom to not have to worry about what is going to be the most massively appealing body of work, so I won't judge Horizons for what he wasn't trying do with it.
I like this. I don't think it's possible for me to dislike a Kris album ever, though. That said, the production is very intentionally spare and there's little variation in tempo (which on the first listen through is making it hard for me to remember any particular song to point to as a favorite), whereas we got some nice uptempo numbers from him on the first two albums. So I can kind of understand the boring criticisms. I am happy with the finished product here but hope this isn't indicative of what we will always get from him from now on. The world needs more "Alright With Me"s and "Rooftops."

I liked the album. It's really chill. It's quite a grower. I agree with @antigonerising's comment on the minimal production as it allows Kris' vocals to be the focal point. "Don't Set Me Free", "Lost", "Young Love", and "In Time" are my favorites.
