'American Idol' Winner Kris Allen Inks Record Deal With 19, Jive
It was inevitable, but now it’s official – Kris Allen has signed a record
deal with 19 Recordings/Jive Records just weeks after winning the eighth
season of “American Idol,” 19 Entertainment announced today. The singer’s
debut album is slated for release in the fall.
"As exciting as the last few months have been, I'm really looking forward to
what is next," Allen said in a statement. Of his original material, the
singer-songwriter said, "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. I can't wait to get started!"
Since winning “Idol” on May 20, Allen has made an impression on the
Billboard charts. The Conway, Ark. native’s coronation single “No Boundaries
” debuted at No. 11 on the Hot 100 and currently sits at No. 23, while his “
Season 8 Favorite Performances,” a 12-song set packaged and released by 19
Entertainment after his win, entered the Billboard 200 at No. 50 and is at
No. 125 this week. The set has sold 14,000 copies according to Nielsen
SoundScan.
"He’s a super-talented singer and all-around gifted musician who has that
rare common touch which will give him the ability to connect with the
broadest possible audience,” Barry Weiss, Chairman and CEO of RCA/JIVE Label
Group, said of Allen. “We're really excited to welcome him to the Jive
family."
Record deals involving other Season 8 “Idol” contestants are expected to be
announced in the coming weeks.
