Yes, Kris could definitely do a Lemonheads type of album. They have a great hits CD that I highly recommend. Who says that Kris needs to improve his singing? No. But I love, love, love Gavin DeGraw, as I mentioned (who has three very different albums), and I can see Kris going down that route. Jason Mraz's latest album also has an acoustic side to it, and I hear echoes of Kris in there. Not that he should be a copy cat, but there are a lot of bands and singer/songwriters that have the kind of vibe I can see Kris going for. efm: Oh, Into My Arms is one of my all-time favorite songs.

There are many so called hip-hop creations that have great lyrics/stories and even some great melodies. If Kris could collab with Kanye who is a good songwriter (lousy singer) it may work. Gavin DG and the Fray are prob closer to Kris' current sensibilites but he is talented and he will learn so much from this experience. I fully expect an Allen sound in the future. What bothers me is the implication that Kris should improve his vocal training and showmanship. Why?! He appeals to many people who may think the Blue Men Group is quite boring.

They are from MA and do (well, did) kind of edgy pop, like "It's a Shame About Ray." If you haven' heard them, go to youtube and check them out. It's funny, b/c I listen to Gavin DeGraw and Jason Mraz a lot, and could see Kris going this way. Not John Mayer, however, or Jack Johnson. DeGraw has three albums, Chariot, Gavin DeGraw, and Free. I like all three of them. Chariot has two parts: the original and the acoustic part, and they are both very good. I also like The Fray a lot, and one could do worse. ;) I agree-he will find his own niche. I wonder how he will add a hip/hop edge but I can see soul for sure. I'm looking forward to his album a lot. He will work with strong producers and go his own way (as he did, say, with the way he changed up Kanye's Heartless, which, I agree, was *much* better than Kanye's version). I *love* the Lemonheads!

Evan Dando would be a good match for Kris. He wrote great pop songs and was sort of the Pete Yorn of the day. I had a huge crush on him! Search for the Lemonheads on YouTube, you might be pleasantly surprised. Aw, I know who all of them are, but I’m in my mid-30′s, so, they’re my people! Evan Dando would be a good match for Kris.

From what I'm reading, it seems like they worked on putting the music together and have a general feeling of what and how the song will go, but not the actual lyrics. I can understand why Kris wanted to work with them since Kris is all about their lyrics. The Fray's songs do tell stories and isn't just regular pop fluff. It seems like it’s one song.
