Angels ~ David Archuleta (C) (P) 2008 19 Recordings Ltd. under exclusive license to Zomba Recording LLC   "A silky tenor with a natural melancholy that makes him a heartbreaker by default. His charming debut exploits that very quality with some strokes of pop genius."  Billboard "Happily, in a genre where the urge is to err on the side of overwrought, someone smart decided to stick with tasteful, understated production."  Boston Globe "...tinges of Coldplay and Shania Twain, and a few dollops of good writing. But the persona remains intact, ready for more."  The New York Times   Album Notes and Credits Notes & Personnel Info One of the two David finalists of the seventh season of AMERICAN IDOL, David Archuleta came in second to David Cook, but, in time-honored IDOL tradition, being runner-up still insured the teen singer of a promising career. This 2008 self-titled debut plays to Archuleta's strengths, effectively showcasing his mellifluous voice and straightforward-pop tendencies, most notably on the hit single "Crush."   Artist Overview In the Spring of 2008, just barely past his 17th Birthday, David Archuleta, the soulful crooner with the cherub's face, found himself the talk of America, locked in a battle with rocker David Cook for AMERICAN IDOL's seventh season's grand prize. While he would wind up placing in the battle of the Davids, like many an AI runner-up, Archuleta suffered few long-term ill-effects as a budding pop artist. With an earnest, wryly mournful delivery, Archuleta was a natural for the pop love ballad and found a match in the perfectly wrought "Crush," the top ten antecedent to his debut self-titled album.
