KRIS ALLEN
In 2019, Kris celebrated the 10th anniversary of his American Idol win by releasing “10,” an album of reimagined acoustic versions of some of his most beloved songs of the previous decade, including fan-favorite “Waves” and his platinum-selling single “Live Like We’re Dying.” Kris followed this up with the release of “Don’t Stop Dancing,” launching a new era of music for the Arkansas-born musician and paving the way for his upcoming 2024 album, “Pole Vaulter”. His newest single “Guinevere” features the imaginative songwriting and stunning vocals that put Kris on the map while setting the tone for his most introspective work to date. From a song about the joys of long-term love to the antidote for intrusive thoughts, “Pole Vaulter” covers a spectrum of emotion and experience from the seasoned storyteller Kris has become. When not making music and playing it live across the world, Kris lives in Nashville with his wife Katy and three kids.
Kris Allen’s 5th studio album didn’t have a title until he wrote the final song. Building on the imagery that captured the entire 3-year process, “Pole Vaulter” and its title track find Kris comfortable in the self-awareness that can only come from 15 years of navigating life as a recording artist.
Paving the way for the album’s release, the lead single “Guinevere” features the imaginative songwriting and stunning vocals that put Kris on the map. Though Kris laments he may never “sing like McCartney,” it’s Macca and another notable Paul (Simon) whose work inspired Guinevere’s sound. Working with producer and friend, Andy Skib, Kris took a soulful approach to his inspiration with lyrics that set the tone for his most introspective work to date. Kris’ forthcoming album launches a new era for the Arkansas-born musician with 14 tracks that elevate his already impressive catalogue. From a song about the joys of long-term love to the antidote for intrusive thoughts, “Pole Vaulter” explores a range of emotions and experiences that have shaped Kris as a person and into the seasoned storyteller he’s become.
