We've decided to change things up, Pawns, instead of a question we want you to take action!  So here it is, your first Mission of the Week: Comment regularly on Kris's official website.



So many of us talk online throughout every day about Kris, but that kind of activity is not reflected in the number of comments on KAO.  The Web Crew has been great in reviving the site this year, and now posts news updates quite…

As promised, here is the question that Kris suggested in his interview with Little Pawns last week: What is the first song that you listened to and cried?

If you can't remember the first, no worries - let us know which song makes you cry on a regular basis, which song do you listen to when you need a good cry, which of Kris's songs…

Yesterday I had the opportunity to interview Kris as a part of Little Pawns and had a fantastic experience!! Kris was incredibly generous of his time, and I definitely appreciated seeing a glimpse into his life as he prepares to release…

This week saw "Thank You Camellia" (Deluxe Version) hit iTunes Preview, giving Kris fans the chance to listen to 90 second snippets of all 14 tracks!

We want to know...which one is your favorite? …

Between Live In the Vineyard, Pet-a-Palooza, Spring Fling, and more, Kris has been and will be keeping busy with fun radio shows that involve other artists.

Live In the Vineyard featured artists such as Jason Mraz and Mat Kearney along with Kris. For Pet-a-Palooza, Haley Reinhart, Matt Nathanson and more shared the bill. Next month…

In view of Kris's impending return to the Idol stage this week (Thursday, April 19th: be there or... set those DVRs!), we have an Idol-themed question for you:

Of the seven contestants left on the show this season... who would you like to see Kris do a duet with?…

You know you’re a Kris fan if…

Kris has been talking a lot about his fans in recent interviews and whether you consider yourself a “Krinja”, a “Krispie” (“Krispy”?), or a fan name of your choosing, there are some things a lot of us have in common.  Little Pawns member Barb (BBLamb2000) suggested we ask ourselves what these things are.  Perhaps they are inspirational, maybe they're funny... whatever they are, we want to hear…

On Thursday, we learned that Kris's album, Thank You Camellia will be released on May 22! As soon as the initial excitement of that announcement wore off, the common reaction was "So, who's Camellia?"

Well, for this…

The Vision of Love is one of those songs you just have to share, whether by playing it for family, friends or co-workers, or gifting it to those you love or those who need some love.  (Or blasting it while driving with the windows down. ;)  Let us know in the comments below about positive feedback you've received by playing or gifting the song for others, and keep on spreading the Love!

Happy Hot Adult Contemporary Adds Day for The Vision of Love! We know many of you might have questions about how exactly radio play and charting works--and we want you guys to pipe up! 

That's why this week's question is: What have you always wanted to know about radio/spins/adds but have been afraid to ask?…

Now that you've had a week to listen to the studio version of The Vision of Love once or twice (or maybe a couple more times), we want you to play director and share your concept for The Vision of Love music video.

What do you see? A performance video? a narrative video? Share your thoughts below! Need a little inspiration?

Kris's new single is a beautifully inspiring song about keeping your mind and heart open, and letting love be your guide in interacting with others.  To celebrate the single, and Kris's impact on our lives in general, we'd like to continue the good deeds and good feelings from our Krismas Cheer campaign.

As we did in December, keep your eyes open for opportunities to do small acts…

What non-Kris music are you loving on the radio right now? What songs could we be requesting while we wait for Kris's single to be released? How else have you been reconnecting with your local radio stations?

It's never too…

There was so much musical goodness to be had last Thursday as Kris debuted some of his new music at The Mint.

We want to hear your thoughts! What was your instant favorite song? Which song has snuck up on you the more you listen/watch? What song has you the most excited? What do you think about the changes to some of the songs we've already heard? Should a 'girl pop medley' become a regular addition to Kris's set list?

Need a little…

Kris tweeted recently that he has a photo shoot coming up "soon", we assume this could be for his new album's cover art.

With that in mind we'd love to hear your ideas or concepts for that cover art.  Would it include the adorable Zorro?  Do you have any thoughts on locations?

Let us know what you think in the comments section below.

Been a busy day. Workin on some songs with @calevis24 and Curt Schneider. These are gonna sound amazing! #M #LYA #YGAW
