Kris posted a funny video on his FB where he announces his single to his friends by playing a game of pictionary. I find this video so adorable.

May 22? That's way too soon for TVOL to make an impact on his album sales.

Unless RCA is planning a MASSIVE push within the next two months, I don't see how that release date is going to work. Though, they may be trying to coincide it with a season finale performance on AI. Either way, I'm excited!
But I'm hoping it's pushed back to something more realistic like June 12 or 19.

I even questioned the poster about the Kris date and here is his response.
The 3/22 date is most likely a tentative date RCA has put out for the industry & retailers to expect new product. The date could change as we have very well seen a lot lately.

Both Kris & his manager Lane tweeted tonight about some exciting news being announced tomorrow. So stay tuned. You can already see pop up ads about the single showing up on various websites today. So it looks like his promo is starting.

I wonder what the story behind the album title is? Very surprised to see this today! May 22 seems a bit soon, considering TVOL just came out and will take a while to do anything, regardless I'm very excited!! As far as the album cover goes, the picture is nice. I wish the title of the album was more obvious and I'm not so crazy about the font. It is different, and very "Kris" so that's nice. :) Wait, is THAT the album cover? Is THAT the album title? www.hollywoodreporter.com/idol-worship/american-idol-kris-allen-thank-you-camellia-305839There will be standard and deluxe editions. The album will also be released on VINYL :o Pre-order here: www.myplaydirect.com/kris-allen/features/26768925

I hate that typewriter font and have no idea who Camellia is, but as long as the music's good, I don't care. Looking forward to this!

That's as bad an album cover/title combo as I've seen in a long time.

Kris is getting his model on. It feels like him which I like, that's even his dog right?

Bad cover and title. Hopefully the music is good at least.

I don't know what the hell that title is, but it's just silly enough that I will probably come to love its oddness later. Is Camellia the dog? That is his dog, but I don't remember its name. Well, for better or worse at least it's the type of title that stands out, which he needs.
I actually really like the cover in general though. The simplicity and basic font reminds me of some old, late 60's/early 70's album covers - it could fit right in with my parents' old stack of records - and that may have been intentional on his part seeing as he plans on releasing it in vinyl as well.
I trust that the music will be good. That's always the last thing I worry about when it comes to Kris' career.

Everything about it just looks so amateur. The picture looks like it was taken on an iPhone. The fonts/style looks like it was created on one of those 'make your own calendar' websites. With a few tweaks (inc. getting rid of the stupid album title, let's just name it after the lead single shall we?) it would be a thousand percent better.

Zorro doesn't look very happy with the cover. EDIT: Jack--I like that a lot.

Camellia? wtf. Maybe that's his alter ego?...which would explain his fierce pose. WERK!

The album's title is interesting, the album's cover art isn't, but neither of those things is a big deal. What is a big deal is scheduling the album to come out so soon. Should we be worried if TVOL is struggling, but RCA doesn't change the date?
I was happy when Kris told Clevver news that there would be a three or four month interval in between the release of the single and the album, but that's not happening. Given that pop stations aren't playing the song, and Hot AC stations aren't rushing to play it, it's going to need more time to make an impact. Besides that practically nothing has been done to promote Kris. The opening numbers are going to be ugly, but I just hope that Kris still has a lot of support at RCA, and that they figure out a way to get radio stations to play TVOL.
