Horizons

This is an album that you really need to put on a good set of headphones and really listen.the themes are universal and the lyrics are honest.heartfelt and beautiful..Beautiful and Wild inspired by the birth of Kris's son,is about the inevitable loss of inocence.In Time rreminds us that painful incidents in our lives will not heal immediately but eventually we will heal and be stronger for it.Every song tells a story,whether it be about the joy of falling in love or the regret of throwing it away.This album was beautifully produced by Charlie Peacock,with Kris's beautiful.emotive voice up front and center..It has a lot of variety and lovely melodies.It will touch your hearstringst and have you dancing yet it is a very cohesive work.Kris is a very talented artist with incredible phrasing and with this album,he has fullfilled his potential.I felt that he was singing directly to me,which is a rare gift.

I have been a Kris Allen fan since 2009 when he won American Idol. I've seen him live, he always gives 100% and puts on a great show. Now here he is with his third album and it's amazing, In Time is my favorite song. This one is gonna be on repeat for a while. Even if you are new to his music, buy this album, you won't regret it.

I'm a huge American Idol fan - haven't missed a single episode. I was "Team Adam" all the way the year Kris won the title. I gotta admit, Kris has improved markedly. His voice is really, really nice and there's not one bad song in this collection. I keep playing the entire CD over and over again, which is rare nowadays. More people need to discover this CD - I love it!

Kris has outdone himself! This album is amazing! I cant even really pick a favorite cuz all the songs are so good. Fantastic and meaningful lyrics and music! And with grammy winning producer Charlie Peacock (Civil Wars) producing it makes it even more awesome! Get this album for some terrific music in your music library!

Highly recommend! Kris Allen's voice is spectacular and the production on this album really focuses on it-- making his warm, smokey tone front and center in each track. Standouts include Lost (a bluesy, piano-driven ballad with impressive lyrical wordplay), Prove it to You (a sweet/intimate duet), It's Always You (another beautiful ballad), Girl Across the Room (upbeat tune with an amazing low note!!), and Young Love (great, feel-good track). You won't be disappointed!

This is without a doubt the best album Kris Allen has put out that I have heard. In my opinion, this isn't the watered down, geared for the masses American Idl regurgitated pop kind of crap they produced for him on his first album. This is Kris doing what Kris does best showing his musical talent. It's also produced on HIS OWN label, DogBear Records.

Wow. Just...WOW.....I have always loved Kris' cds but he has surpassed himself with HORIZONS. Ten perfect songs. I love how Charlie Peacock, the album producer, has brought Kris' voice to the front. The instrumentation is just right. It is impossible to pick a favorite from all the cuts. You will find yourself smiling, singing a few "la la la's', dancing and pondering his wonderful lyrics. I can't stop listening to this. Well done, Mr. Allen.

This is an excellent CD! This is a worthy follow-up to Chris' other two CDs. Mid to uptempo songs are all catchy and have great repeatability. I don't know why Chris hasn't had greater success, he is extremely talented and his music is fun to listen to and even sing along with.So glad I came across this on Am. My new favorite to listen to.
