Those of you following Season 6 Idol, Chris Richardson on twitter know he’s been working on an album, and in an interview with Walmart Soundcheck, Chris reveals a few details about the project. Plus, you can download a free song from Chris!

  • Chris Richardson Soundcheck interview and Free Download HERE.

The debut album will be called, aptly Chris Richardson. It’s been a two-year process that’s finally coming to fruition.   He describes the sound as a pop/soul/r&b mashup.

The Walmart download process was cumbersome, so I’m going to post the song “Floating Off the Ground”, a pleasant pop/R&B concoction, after the jump.

Good luck to Chris, who was one of the nicest of the Season 6 Idols when I met them all backstage during the tour. It’s tough to get traction on an Indie album two years after appearing on Idol.

    Dang, he gained some pounds! Guy’s gotta be careful of them Twinkies!

    Wow…I am pleasantly surprised. I wasn’t a fan of Chris’s on AI but I really like this…enough to download it. Good luck Chris

  • jersey

    He does look like he’s gained a few pounds. Although it’s kind of hard to tell from this shot. He’s always had a big round head! ;-)

  • suebrody

    He looks rather round-ish, but it’s a good track and interview. I hope he can put out a good album, b/c he is not the most distinguishable artist, IMO. There are lots of singers like him.

    Looks like Anoop faces some stiff competition in the “hasn’t anyone told him he’s not black?” genre.

    All I remember about Chris is the hat…how shallow am I?

    I haven’t seen him in pictures much recently, but I remember him as muscular. He had some guns. I trust he still works out. I will check out the song and download it. Thanks for the link, mj.:-)

    I couldn’t stand listening to him sing on Idol. Very nasal sounding and to me a Justin Timberlake wannabe. Ah well, good luck to him either way.

    LOL he did always kind of have a round head so you can’t really tell if he gained a lot of pounds but good luck on the album Chris!

    Kinda impressed with this, it sounds really good to me. Not my preferred genre, but I actually like it, and I never thought much of this guy on Idol.

  • gulfluv

    Huh, I like that more than I expected to. I think I shall download the single and check out his album.

  • Den

    I’m so excited my Google alert finally gave me something significant. Nice song. Fits right in to what’s current. I expected something a bit different, but, hey, we’ve got progress! I STILL can’t wait to buy his music.

  • litigiousgrl

    I loved Chris! and this song is awesome. Can’t wait for the album :)

  • mandabutter

    Really excited for him!!! Yes [shaking], I love the song, really really enjoyed those lyrics. Just beautiful. You guys have no idea how much I was a fan of his in Season 6 & he was the only reason why I bought a ticket to the tour (okay, Melinda too but still). Chris Rich was the only one I voted for that season. Always held out hope for him because he seemed the most genuine.

    I will definitely be getting his album! Thanks MJ for posting the latest news. :)

  • justjude

    Really good guy. I him much success on this album!!!!
