American Idol, Kris Allen winner gets his record deal
Since becoming Season 8’s winner and The American Idol, Kris’s single “No Boundaries” is No. 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and he will be dropping his album in the fall. Kris , who became the first married winner of American Idol in May, will be touring with the other top 10 “American Idol” 2009 Summer Tour beginning in July.
“As exciting as the last few months have been, I’m really looking forward to what is next,” Allen said in a statement today. “I’m very grateful to be working with Simon Fuller and his team at 19 Entertainment, along with Barry Weiss and Jive Records on my debut album.”
“Everyone’s been asking me what it’s going to sound like. It will be very similar to what you heard from me on the show — definitely in the pop/rock genre,” says Allen.
