Haley Reinhart and Kris Allen talk about their newest collaboration, “Thunderclouds”, their American Idol connection and possible future touring/projects together for Forbes Magazine’s Steve Baltin. Full interview: Forbes Magazine
“Kris Allen: I love the craft of songwriting a lot. And, especially with straight-up-the-middle pop songs, some of them are masked in the production elements of it. This song, there is a lot happening in that in the original song, but I could always hear this is a great melody, this is a great idea, great lyric. They’re singing their tails off. And I could just hear it. And I feel like that doesn’t always happen. But I’ve had this in my brain to do something like this for a while, since I heard it the first time. And, I even made a little version of it for myself. I was like, “This is kind of fun.” I was like, “I want to put this out, but I don’t want to do it by myself.” So that’s when I was like, “Who would sing? Who would I want to sing this with?” And then my wife is just an uber fan of Haley. And so it was so easy. I thought our voices sound good together.”
“Haley Reinhart: I love it. What I really also want to hone in with this is that Kris is so easy going, I don’t necessarily want to talk about Idol, but he won the damn thing. I get third and we both kind of pave our own way and never to use that title as a crutch. I feel like we’re the rebels of the show in our own way because we have made our own labels. We’re both platinum recording artists, and it’s I want to send the message out this is possible. We’re still winning. We’re winning a lot, and we’re doing it our way.“
Kris Allen in his Instagram story about their newest release, an acoustic re-imagining cover of the 2018 single “Thunderclouds” by the ‘supergroup’ LSD (Labyrinth, Sia & Diplo)
“βI gotta get some sleep but just wanted to say, Iβm so happy this song is out in the world. Haley Reinhart is a treasure and couldnβt have imagined singing this song with anyone else. Thanks to everyone thatβs already listened and Iβm sure we will talk tomorrowβ
Haley Reinhart added in her Instagram story: “Shout out to the best engineer, Rob Kleiner for recording my vocals for this LSD cover!!! (He ironically works with Sia & Labyrinth two of my all time favorite artists from day 1, both so brilliant) I hope they dig it! #thunderclouds”
Thunderclouds is now available to stream and purchase from your favorite outlet

Immediate report after watching Haley Reinhart streaming special live on new service Hitkor:
Hopefully you guys got to see Haley Reinhart’s streaming show with Hitkor, a Gala to roll out the latest live music streaming service, IMO easily the best streaming of Haley performing live I have ever seen. Cry Me a River, Honey There’s The Door, STRANGE WORLD WITH AN ORCHESTRA!, My Baby Just Cares for Me (Haley’s description of Jeff is hilarious) and the coup de grace, a stunning performance of Blue Skies w/ incredible Ella vibes, Haley’s scatting was INSANE I hope she does more of these shows. It was really nice to see Haley performing in front of an orchestra with high quality production and sound. A bargain for $10 if you used the discount code to get $5 off.
Tony Succar and The Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra opened the stream for the night as the program listed some of features their service including spatial audio in between acts. Other upgrades the service provide includes a function where you can choose to view from which camera angle you want to watch the performance from. I didn’t buy the upgrade, but will update if someone who did tells me what that was like
The Only downside was there could’ve been more Haley, but the whole production was top notch, great camera angles, Haley sounded and Looked fantastic.
Hitkor tweeted that the show will be up to rewatch 24 hours after the live broadcast https://twitter.com/officialhitkor/status/1652543347003621376?s=20
There was an interview before the show began, a pretty great interview Haley was glowing. The host knew Haley from Season 10, Haley’s Season on American Idol, when he warmed up the audience before the telecast. There was a familiarity and Haley answered a variety of questions including about her influences, how she felt about her recent tour and the upcoming one.

For PMJ Creep fans, Haley officially answers an often mischaracterized ‘fact’ about the recording of their iconic cover of “Creep”: PMj had just done five shows on the road across Europe and she was feeling a little tired But she felt it was that she wasn’t feeling 100% that gave her that extra tug of emotion she needed for the performance.
“It’s been five shows, I’m pretty tired, I don’t know about this one….when it comes to those kinds of performances, I always give it 100% but I think emotionally, I was in a different place and really challenging something because I didn’t feel quite 100%, as far as being tired. It’s always really unique because I get to take my own stab and do the vocal arrangement…we’d only done it a few times on the road before that video. Alot of it is very jazz, very impromptu”
I recall OG Haliens were eagerly tracking Haley’s progress at the time through Casey Abrams because Haley barely did much social media while on tour. Casey sent many snapchats about he and Haley w/ PMJ in Europe Including some from the day they recorded Creep
.
This is how it happened as I remembered it: Haley left the US on a red eye to Germany, went straight to the Lido in Berlin to join PMJ to sing Habits and a line from All About That Bass.
The following week leading to their day off to record “Creep” in Zurich, they were on the road performing across Europe. I remember it being 6 shows in 7 days, but in the Hitkor interview, Haley said 5 shows, while on the road. Haley was never ‘ill’ or ‘sick’ on the day they recorded “Creep”. She was tired from going non stop as soon as she set foot in Berlin, but she believes it was because she wasn’t fully rested it was what gave the performance that extra bit of emotion she pulled from in her performance of that now 116 million viewed masterpiece. -HaleysTusk

Haley Reinhart was surprised with a special package when she returned home from her longest US tour to date playing over 30 shows supporting her newest EP, “Off The Ground”. Haley posted the video of her opening the package, revealing her plaque for her now official Double Platinum selling Elvis cover, “Can’t Help Falling in Love”, and sharing the moment with her family on her phone.
“Words wonβt do it justice here, but I have been waiting for this moment for YEARS. Iβve been working very hard to get certified platinum because Iβve had faith in knowing that itβs reached that status for years nowβ¦ Well, it turns out my intuition was right. And not only is it platinum like I thought, but double platinum now. This goes far beyond a plaque or the plaques that I will receive for this recognition. My tears come from a deep place in my heart filled with pride and gratitude after what has been over a decades time of grinding my way to this very moment.
This accomplishment proves to me that all my hard work has been validated, heard, and seen. As an INDEPENDENT artist, with no manager, I have to sayβ¦ This feels f*cking INCREDIBLE. Waiting on my certification in the U.S. nowβ¦ Until then, Iβll be gushing over thisΒ #canadian#doubleplatinumΒ β€οΈβπ₯β€οΈβπ₯β€οΈβπ₯”
Haley’s “Can’t Help Falling In Love” story began as one of many breaks that fell into place in 2015, from joining Postmodern Jukebox at the beginning of the year, scoring a viral hit with her cover of “Creep” with PMJ during her first professional tour of Europe, which lead to Haley coming onto the radar of folks putting together an advertising campaign for Wrigley’s Extra Gum. Scott Bradlee, PMJ founder, wrote in his book Wrigley’s reached out to get Haley’s contact information for the ad campaign after hearing her rendition of PMJ’s now 113+ million view video.
Haley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love” received a Gold certification in April of 2017, then in 2018, it had been announced the single had hit Platinum by the RIAA, but was shortly pulled after that for unknown reasons, possibly because of a mix up counting streaming equivalence to sales. Since then fans have cautiously been mentioning CHFIL’s platinum status even without official proof.
Haley’s receiving of her Double Platinum award finally confirms the song’s popularity and Platinum status, a significant accomplishment for Haley as an independent artist. That the song came into popularity because it was requested for radio play from fans hearing the commercial, and not pushed by Music Industry Money, makes the award especially meaningful for Haley as an independent artist.
