by Michael Slezak

On Wednesday, Kris Allen took to Twitter with news that thrilled and delighted fans of the American Idol season 8 champ: “You guys know what I miss…..the show Doug. So good. Oh btw……..done with the album!” Now, EW.com is happy to exclusively report the final track listing for Allen’s upcoming self-titled debut disc, set to drop Nov. 17 via 19 Recordings/Jive, which has been confirmed by a 19 rep. Conspicuously absent from the disc are any tracks co-written with Chris Daughtry and Mat Kearney — two artists with whom Allen had previously discussed having successful writing sessions. The baker’s dozen of titles — with songwriting credits in parentheses — reads as follows:

01 “Live Like We’re Dying” (Steve Kipner, Andrew Frampton, Danny O’Donoghue, Mark Sheehan) (Produced by: Produced by Andrew Frampton & Steve Kipner)

02 “Before We Come Undone” (Kris Allen, Lindy Robbins, Greg Kurstin) (Produced by: Produced by Greg Kurstin for SK1 Productions)

I really have not seen the promotion that Adam has been getting. I know the media is going to go crazy when Adam debuts anything, however. I am definitely looking forward to Kris album.

I did hear about that appearance. It will be interesting to see how all the previous idols are received. The others are definitely deserving of the appearance by their own merit not idol. Although great exposure for Adam and good timing for his album drop I would not expect Kris to be performing.

Even before the season is over, everyone knows 19 is going to pimp Adam post-Idol, regardless of his placing.

I freakin' LOVE the songwriting credits Kris gets. Not to mention Jive even lets Kris puts out his song from pre-idol and another one which he cowrote with his friend and current bandmate Cale. His single is doing well on radio (one of the hot picks by PD's from pop stations). He's getting the usual TV and radio promo of AI winners. It's all good.

Adam's promo is an anomaly, not the norm, not even for winners.
