AceShowbiz - Kris Allen's first studio album will be brought out for purchase across United States on November 17, according to Amazon. Though the tentative release date for this effort has been unveiled, its working title still hasn't been disclosed.
Kris teams up with The Fray's guitarist Joe King in working on the not-yet-titled album. Back in June, the winner of "American Idol" season 8 hit Timbaland's studio with the guitarist. "It was a very good vibe in the studio," Joe said of the recording process. "There was no pressure - we just had breakfast, got to know each other. It was all very organic after that."
Aside from hitting the studio with Joe, Kris also gets helping hands from acclaimed producers Salaam Remi (Nas, Amy Winehouse) and Claude Kelly (Leona Lewis, Akon). Kris will drop the record under 19 Recordings/Jive Records.
In the meantime, Kris Allen is hitting the road for Top Ten "American Idol" summer tour which will be wrapped up on September 15. During the gig, he delivers five songs, one of which is The Beatles' 1968 song called "Hey Jude".
In the beginning of the roadshow, he performed his winning song "No Boundaries" as well. Unfortunately, the song was replaced with The Killers' 2004 track "All These Things That I've Done" during a stop in Sacramento, California because the Kara DioGuardi-penned single "kinda just didn't work with the [tour] set."
