If you don't remember, Kris Allen is the season 8 American Idol winner. He's probably my favorite winner (other than Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson, of course). I absolutely adore his voice and music; I thought his first album was fantastic. When I heard he was finally coming out with a new CD, I was ecstatic. I had been waiting for two years for new music from Allen, His sophomore album "Thank You Camellia" was released yesterday, and I purchased it today. This album EXCEEDS his debut one, something I didn't think could be possible. It's got everything- fun, catchy songs with well written lyrics. This CD is definitely full of summer songs- Better With You, My Weakness, Rooftops, and Loves Me Not (his duet with Meiko) are definitely the driving with the rooftop down on your way to the beach kind of songs. And then of course, there's his debut single "Vision of Love" which calls people to take a stand against bullying and loneliness. My personal favorites are "Monster" and "Blindfolded." The chorus' are so catchy, and the guitar in Monster is awesome. I love the message in Blindfolded, "If I was blindfolded, if my memory was erased, if every sign pointed to another place, I would still find you." Ahh, its so romantic! And, of course, Kris Allen wouldn't be Kris Allen with out adding a powerful ballad "You've Got A Way." Overall this album is fantastic, and Kris Allen needs to be recognized for just how talented he is as a singer and songwriter (by the way, if anyone's a Glee fan, Allen penned Matthew Morrison's song "Still Got Tonight"). I would highly recommend everyone to go and purchase this CD.
