19 Recordings Signs American Idol Winner Kris Allen
19 Recordings has signed American Idol winner Kris Allen, and his recordings have been licensed to Jive Records. Kris Allen's victory song "No Boundaries" currently ranks No. 23 on Billboard's Hot 100 Singles chart. Allen also has two singles on the chart from his American Idol performances, "Heartless" and "Ain't No Sunshine." Allen's debut album is slated for release late Fall 2009.
"As exciting as the last few months have been, I'm really looking forward to what is next," says Kris Allen. "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. I can't wait to get started!"
