I can’t really put my finger on why Kris Allen’s first single, “Live Like We’re Dying,” didn’t connect since it really played to all the same strengths that won him “American Idol.” Maybe, just maybe, we like looking at Kris sing more than just hearing Kris sing.

To that end, the cockeyed smiling singer began filming the video for his second single, “The Truth,” today in the Californian desert.

I gave the song a couple of spins and I think this one really has a chance of blowing up — it’s exactly the kind of “NickelScriptRepublic” emo-genre that he works so well in. Give the track a spin and tell me, do you like Kris’ “Truth?”
