David Archuleta by David Archuleta
Cant Get Enough Of David
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 industrys most talented writers and
producers. Archuletas first single Crush was produced by Emanuel Eman
Kiriakou.
Music is a big part of me and I dont mind splurging on CDs. I have over
170 of them in my collection and am actually starting to run out of storage
room. Therefore right now I am limiting myself when it comes to buying
albums.
In the beginning I didnt intend to buy David Archuletas album even though
I knew he would not disappoint. Not because I didnt know what to expect,
but because I dont have much storage room i n my room and have to limit
myself on what CDs I buy. But after I heard Crush on the radio, I was
hooked to the most extreme and couldnt get this song out of my head. I
kept singing the chorus non-stop and soon enough even the verses were
for the most part memorized. And this led me to make the decision to give
in and buy the album. Yes, I pre-listened to all the tracks before buying the
album, but I would have bought it regardless. I was that hooked on Crush.
Having bought the album last week and having listened to it for the first
time in full, I was hooked, and have already listened to it at least 4 times. I
instantly downloaded the whole thing onto my iPod so I could take it with
me wherever I went, and I did, when I went upstate for the weekend.
Every song on the album is catchy, emotional, and leaves a lasting
impression. Davids voice is angelic and mesmerizing from beginning to
end no matter what song is playing. Each song is different in its own way
and has Davids touch put into it. The musical sty les range from pop to
ballads to R&B to a bit of rock showing how versatile David is as an artist.
Some people out there may say that Davids lyrics could have covered
more issues other than the love, crushes, relationship ones that comprise
most of the album, but cmon, he is only 17 and these topics are very much
common to someone his age, so it only seems fitting to write about them.
This album is a must-have for people of all ages. Yep thats right. You dont
have to be a teenage girl (maybe having a major crush on David) to fall in
love with this album and even relate to it in some way or another. I totally
love this album and wish I had bought it sooner than I did.
There are only a few slight setbacks to Davids release that I do want to
point out, but they have nothing to do with his singing or the songs he
recorded...
The first thing I do when I open a CD is go to the booklet and look through
the lyrics. When I did that with Davids CD I found there were none. That is
a bit disappointing for me as I am obsessed with singing and without a
doubt will be singing along to all his songs every time I listen to them. I
want to have his lyrics at my fingertips (until every word is memorized)
without having to scour online looking for them, but now that is wha t I will
have to do. :( Were they trying to save on ink or something? The lyrics
should have been in the booklet!!! That is a must!!!
Besides this, I wish that David had written more songs on this album. I
have to give him credit for writing two of them, but that is just not enough. I
am sure he has the talent and ability to write more songs than that. I
wonder why he didnt. Perhaps the record label and/or the producers he
was working with didnt allow him to write more songs. And if that was the
case then its totally unfair. An artist should be singing the songs he writes
not those that someone else writes for him. So, while the lyrics are great
and I am sure that David was able to connect with them on some level, as
he mastered each one exceeding expectations, he should have been
writing every lyric featured on the album. And since we will no doubt be
hearing from David for a long time to come, I hope he will be allowed to
have more creative control on his future albums and actually write all the
lyrics himself, even if just as co-author.
Without a doubt this album is one people will never get tired of hearing and
is a must-have for people of all ages, backgrounds, and musical tastes.
Not only is it touching, mesmerizing, and leaves a lasting impression, bu t
we can also dance along to every song, even ones that are slow tempo.
What more can we ask for, but perhaps more songs from David to keep us
fed since we will always be hungry for more. Always!
