Allen released "The Vision of Love" in 2012 as the lead single for his third album, Thank You Camellia. The song yielded minimal chart success and Allen ultimately parted ways with RCA Records.[1] He has since released three albums on his independent label imprint DogBear Records: Horizons (2014), Letting You In (2016), and Somethin' About Christmas (2016). A compilation album 10 was released in 2019.[2] Kris released five promotional singles in 2021 and one in 2022 via DogBear Records.
