If you purchased Kris’ iTunes pass, you likely have already downloaded and seen this, but for those of you who didn’t buy it, here is a new behind the scenes video of Kris. He talks about his first trip to New York from right after the ‘Idol’ finale, his visit back home in Conway, and the ‘Idols’ Live! Tour. There is also footage from tour rehearsals thrown in there… Watch below & enjoy!

Kris’s official website posted a new webisode of Kris. This first one follows him behind-the-scenes of his media blitz (photo shoots, interviews, etc.) following his ‘American Idol’ win. Check it out!

Kris recently chatted with Billboard about his upcoming album. Check out what he had to say in the article below!

Kris Allen, Title TBD (19 Recordings/Jive Records, Fall TBD)

“American Idol” winner Kris Allen isn’t just expected to record a debut album — he’s supposed to make chart-topping hits and live up to the sales of Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, and David Cook before him. For his fall debut on 19/Jive, the 23-year-old has a wealth of songwriters and producers to choose from: David Hodges (Clarkson, Daughtry), Salaam Remi (Nas, Amy Whinehouse) and Claude Kelly (Akon, Leona Lewis) have all submitted material for the record. Allen also collaborated with Joe King of the Fray in June at Timbaland’s Virginia Beach, VA., recording studio. “Each writing session has a learning experience,” says Allen, who adds that his record will sound similar to John Mayer and Jason Mraz, with possible traces of the urban sound that he’s been exploring with some collaborators. “I think we are trying to figure it out and that it’s going the right way and I’m really excited about it. I can’t wait”

First of all, I’d like to apologize for the lack of updates here on KAS. Nicole and I have been a bit busy, but we will work harder to keep the site up to date!
