David Archuleta - David Archuleta

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. Album Description

Crushes the Competition

How many times do you buy a CD and like every song on it? Almost never, right? Well this CD will be the exception. There isn't a clunker on the whole album. Every song is uniquely wonderful. No matter what your musical taste (as long as you enjoy pop), you will find something here you will love. There are the beautiful pop ballads (You Can, To Be With You, and Angels), the upbeat Crush and Touch My Hand, the R&B influenced Barriers, the powerful Pop/Rock song Desperate, even the touch of country with Your Eyes Don't Lie. David Archuleta has proven himself as a force to be reckoned with, both as a songwriter and as an incredible vocalist. Better yet, the songs actually get better and better with every replay. This album is sure to quickly soar to the top of the pop charts.

A HIT IT IS!

I am 50 years old and couldn't wait for David's CD to be out. Ran to the store the day it was released and haven't stopped listening to it since. Every song is great except I'm a litle tired of Angels. Well worth the money and well worth the wait. Can't wait for his next one now. November 13, 2008

Buy it!

Awesome album! Go buy the Deluxe version, also on Amazon. It comes with three more songs that are really good.

You'll be happy with either version. So buy it! November 13, 2008

Okay for a "Fisrt" Album

I think Archie has a wonderful voice judging from his stint on AI. However this album is a bit over-produced for me, and much of the time hides his vocals. None of the songs grab me. I guess Crush is the best song on the CD.

Unfortunately, I was only able to listen to most of the songs for a minute or less before skipping to the next one... They just weren't compelling enough for me to want to listen to them from beginning to end. I am giving the CD to my niece who is a huge Archie fan!

Here's hoping next time for a CD with more pure vocals and something with a more unique sound.
