Kris Allen Album Review: "Thank You Camellia"


American Idol Season 8 winner Kris Allen released his sophomore studio album Thank You Camellia on May 22, 2012, via his record label, RCA Records. It is the follow-up to his critically-acclaimed eponymous record, which featured the hit single “Live Like We’re Dying.”

He co-wrote all eleven songs on this CD, which includes a duet with indie songstress Meiko.

The album’s title is a tribute to Camellia Street, where he stayed in Los Angeles in an effort to record this musical project.

Kris’ CD opens with “Better With You,” which he co-wrote with acclaimed folk singer-songwriter Jason Reeves.


It is followed by his catchy lead single “The Vision of Love” and “My Weakness,” which has a Bruno Mars and Jason Mraz vibe to it. Equally smooth and mellifluous is “Out Alive.”

In “Monster,” his vocals are slightly reminiscent to those of Rob Thomas from Matchbox Twenty, and “Blindfolded” would make a good choice for a future radio single.

Yet another soothing vocal is the ballad “Leave You Alone.” “Teach Me How Love Goes” is a smooth and heartfelt tune, sung beautifully by Kris, and “Rooftops” has a fun groove to it.

In his previous album, Kris has collaborated with Train’s frontman Pat Monahan on “The Truth,” but he is able to outdo himself on the captivating “Loves Me Not” with Meiko.

The Arkansas native closes his 11-track album with the piano-driven “You Got A Way,” however, if fans purchase the deluxe edition of the CD, they will be treated to three additional songs “Turn the Pages,” “Fighters,” as well as a remix of his lead-off single.

The Verdict
Kris Allen shines on Thank You Camellia. It is an exquisite second effort, and more raw and organic that his self-titled CD, and there are no mediocre or filler songs on here. It is evident that he is one of the most underrated singer-songwriters and instrumentalists out there. He sings with a lot of heart, soul, charisma, and integrity. From all of the past Idol alums, his mellow vocals are the greatest fit for adult contemporary radio. One thing is for sure: he sure made Camellia Street and his fans proud! Although 2012 is far from over, this is one of the best albums yet!

Review: Kris Allen “Thank You Camellia”
By: Shawn Michaels | Yesterday

So Kris Allen has a new album , lets take a look….Or should I say a listen


So Kris Allen , Winner of American Idol in 2009 , has a new album “Thank You Camellia”. As Sue explained yesterday “Camellia” is a street, not a person. Allen crashed on the couch of friends when making the album and they live on Camellia Avenue. Allen says it was a better feeling than staying at a hotel or renting an apartment. It’s Allen’s second album and he feels this one represents him better than his debut. He says he had four months to make that album after winning “American Idol,” but he had two and a half years to make “Thank You Camellia.”

So looking at Kris Allen IO hear a cross between Jason Mraz and Jack Johnson. Allen is the “eclectic” Idol. Daughtry is rock, David Cook & Adam Lambert are pop…But Allen is funky.


“Vision of Love” seems to be the albums first single and it’s a good song featuring Allen’s wonderful falsetto and a hopeful message of caring. I personally think ” Rooftop ” is my personal fav and the opening number “Better With You” is very good. The album is a good one and expands on his debut. It’s the kind of album you put on when you have a long drive and you just drift through song after song. What I like about Allen is he is less pop and more funk, doesnt wear out as quick as some other “Idol” alumni. A nice blend of acoustic guitar and piano. It’s a refreshing album that I give it “2 thumbs up ”

By the way kinda funny he has the “puppy” with him, alot like Rick Springfield back in the day, remember he has his doggy with him too!

Enjoy “Thank You Camellia” this Summer

^ Sa chart central TVOL is down to #12. Still in a good position though.

Aside from voting hard sa MYX. We must exert effort na kulitin ang RX DJs na-iadd ang TVOL sa playlist nila. Sa mellow din, kailangan nya tumaas.
