June by Kris Allen
Kris Allen releases his highly anticipated album, June, which takes the listeners on a spiritual journey that they'll cherish forever!
The Oscar Rasbach/Joyce Kilmer tune "Trees" is recontextualized harmonically and rhythmically and features the vocal talents of Michael Mayo, who contributes his own florid scat solo. "These words have stuck with me since I first heard this song as a teenager" says Allen of Joyce Kilmer’s sweet, salutary poetry; "it’s an acknowledgement of the inherent spirituality of nature and also speaks to the humility that for me is part and parcel of the creative process."
