Album Description: American Idol Season 7 fan favorite, David Archuleta has become a household name as he spent his 2008 summer on the nationwide American Idol tour with his fellow contestants. This album includes a sequence of Pop tracks from the industry's most talented writers and producers. Archuleta's first single 'Crush' was produced by Emanuel 'Eman' Kiriakou.
Not disappointing David Archuletta SHOULD have won Idol in 2008. Now we can enjoy the quality of his voice as we remember why we stopped watching Idol. Some of the songs in this collection are slightly weak, but his performance isn't. He needs to do a few more "standards" from different eras. However, this album is a must-have for those of us who like David A.
Love David Archuletta! Got one of these for myself and one as a gift for someone else! Great CD!
David Archuleta-It grows on you. I expected the album to be more R&B or Pop, but was pleasently surprised by the overall feel. It has some catchy "sing songy" tracks like, "Touch my Hands" and "Barriers". It has your obvious radio singles like, "Crush", "Running" and "A Little Too Not Over You"; the very mellow almost James Taylor/Stephen Bishop-ish "You Can"; a couple really nice ballads with JC Chasez and Kara DioGuardi, which they co-wrote with David and even sang background vocals. And of course, a slighlty slower version of the Robbie Williams cover, "Angels", which I think is better than the Idol version.
My favorite track is the "almost" duet with Kara DioGuardi, "To Be With You".
I really hate the second to the last track "Your Eyes Don't Lie". It's weird. The whistle sound makes it seems like a western movie theme song, totally doesn't fit with anything else.
Overall a very good first try. Kind of reminds me of Nick Lachey, vocally, although they have completely different styles. This is the kind of album that grows on you. I'm looking forward to seeing which way he'll go with the next one.
58 Year Old Loves This Boy And This 1 in a Million Amazing Voice!!! I first saw David on AI one night by accident. I was hooked. What a voice, what a talent, what a rare young man! I bought his CD the day it was released and have not stopped playing it. Even when I am not listening, I am singing all of the songs while walking, biking, driving, working, etc. David will be a HUGE star for many many years to come. Am I too old to attend his concert?
His rendition of Angels will pierce you to the core of your soul. Buy this album and listen carefully(at least 2 or 3 times). You will be addicted from then on! I am!
inspirational This guy can seriously sing or play anything. He is just bursting with talent, and I love the choices he's made as to how to use his amazing talent.
