Hi everyone,

I am so excited to be working with Pledge this year in support of my upcoming Christmas album, “Winter in the Air”!

When it comes to Christmas songs, I’ve always been drawn to slower, more serious music so for this new record I wanted to have some fun! “Winter in the Air” features some of my favorite classic Christmas songs as well as a few new tracks that I wrote specifically for the season (including my favorite, “Christmas Every Day”!).

For David Archuleta, ‘Winter’ Is Coming With New Tour and Album: Listen to ‘Christmas Every Day’

‘American Idol’ alum releases his second Christmas set, nine years in the making

Winter will officially begin at 5:22pm EST on Dec. 21. But for American Idol alum David Archuleta, it will arrive with the Nov. 2 release of his new Christmas album, Winter in the Air.

The holiday set, on Shadow Mountain Records, is Archuleta’s eighth album overall and second holiday release, following Christmas from the Heart in 2009.

“When we finished my first Christmas album, we were already talking about recording another one,” Archuleta tells Billboard. “There’s always a place for it because there are so many great Christmas songs.”

For Winter in the Air, Archuleta turned to some classic holiday tunes and co-wrote three originals. “I always wanted to record ‘Mary, Did You Know’ and I [had] wanted ‘God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen’ on my first album. ‘Holly Jolly Christmas’ is one of my favorite Christmas songs. I usually listen to the Burl Ives version. For this album, I listened to Christmas albums by Michael Bublé and Nat King Cole. My producers’ goal was to get that sound with a big reverb board to capture the classic vibes of the ’50s and ’60s.”

While most Christmas albums are recorded in the summer in order to be ready for holiday season, Archuleta started work on Winter in the Air in January, while the weather was still cold in his new hometown of Nashville. “We had to cancel the original writing session because of a snow storm,” he says. When he rescheduled with songwriters Jeremy Bose and Cindy Morgan, they wrote what would become the album’s title track. “‘Winter in the Air’ was inspired by walking outside in the wintertime with the snow crunching under your feet,” he says.

Archuleta’s next writing session, with producer Cason Cooley and songwriter Isabeau Miller, was also cancelled because of an ice storm. But when they finally got together, they wrote “He Is Born,” one of the album’s more sacred songs. “I wanted to write a song honoring and praising Christ in his birth,” says Archuleta.

Auchuleta wrote the first single from the album, “Christmas Every Day,” with Cooley and Dave Barnes. “It was inspired by Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’ and Kelly Clarkson’s ‘Underneath the Tree’,” he says. “Music usually comes out of me at a slow tempo but I wanted an uptempo song.” The song features backing vocals by fellow American Idol alum, Melinda Doolittle. “I had lunch one day with Melinda and Kris Allen. Then I ran into a couple of Melinda’s friends while I was salsa dancing, and then saw another friend of hers on an airplane. So week after week, Melinda was on my mind. When we needed background vocals, I thought Melinda would be up for it. It’s the first time I’ve had a friend do backing vocals for me.”

After sessions with Cooley, Archuleta headed back to Utah to work with producer John Hancock, who helmed his 2009 Christmas album. “John added a guitar loop to ‘God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman’ and it felt very Latin to me so I started singing in Spanish.” That led to Archuleta recording Spanish versions of several songs, including “In the Bleak Midwinter,” which his aunt translated into Spanish after they failed to find a Spanish version. A four-song EP of the Spanish renditions will also be released, says Archuleta, “all thanks to John doing ‘God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen’ with Spanish guitar.”

Archuleta will support the new album with a tour that begins Nov. 26 in Los Angeles and runs through Dec. 21 in Richfield, Utah. “I’ve always loved being on the road, ever since my dad took me to California when I was 11,” he replied. “When I’m out on the road, I get to interact with fans again. It’s different from the social media experience. You can see how music changes their demeanors.”

It’s been 10 years since Archuleta competed on season seven of American Idol as a 17-year-old, a decade where he’s grown from a boy to a man. “When I was on American Idol I was still in high school and was just getting to the beginning of adulthood. Now I’m an adult. I have found my voice and I say what I’m thinking. Taking that two-year break to be a missionary helped me gain independence. I was submissive before. Now I put more importance on myself. Ten years ago I didn’t know if I wanted a music career. I thought I was going to finish high school and college and then figure out what I was going to do for a living. Now I understand why I want to do music and where I want to take my life. I always handed things over to other people. Now I am the master of my own life.”

“Now I understand why I want to do music and where I want to take my life. I always handed things over to other people. Now I am the master of my own life.”

The Daily Post

“Winter In The Air” will feature 12 tracks including Christmas classics such as “White Christmas,” God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,” “Holly Jolly Christmas” and “Mary, Did You Know?” In addition to co-writing the lead single “Christmas Every Day,” David also co-wrote the title track “Winter In The Air” and “He Is Born” for the new set.

David Archuleta and Madilyn Paige- Anymore

Madilyn Paige’s record is out and one of the songs features our David – titled ANYMORE.  Most of us have yet to hear it, including moi.  Frankly, I get much more excited when I look forward to David singing SOLO.   (And Solo + A Capella would be a serious bonus treat!)

We will post that song when we figure out how    😉   Meanwhile, we found a video featuring David’s AIMING FOR HOPE for a tv drama series on Network: American Broadcasting Company.

It iis an American medical drama television series based on the 2013 award-winning South Korean series.

Shaun Murphy, a young autistic surgeon who has savant syndrome and survived a troubled childhood, relocates from a quiet country life to join the surgical unit at the prestigious San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital.
Besides the song having caught my attention, the young good doctor bears a great resemblance to our young good singer.   😀
First episode date: September 25, 2017
Network: American Broadcasting Company
Production location: Vancouver

The Good Doctor (Aiming for Hope – David Archuleta)

A Youtube comment:   “Öne of my favorite singers together with my favorite show. You did a great job with this, thank you”

“Take Me Back to Move Forward”

davidarchieTake me back. But this time help me stay on the course moving forward to the better man I’m hopeful of becoming. So that I don’t fall back in faulty mindsets that held me back before. “Ready for a change” but also ready for 2nd chances. “We fall down but we get up” – (@donmac6453) and we become stronger and wiser through it. Let us not allow our fears or our mistakes of the past keep us from making our next move. Let us allow it to change us into what God intended for us to become, and trust that we wouldn’t get there without the perspective we needed from our past. Here’s to #movingforward. #thoughts
Moving Forward.   Even if David says that he wants to be “taken back in time”, he is really “moving forward”.  Moving forward to being where he was before.   Where he was comfortable and being himself.
He doesnt want to dwell on what went wrong.  There is no time for regrets.
He is asking for 2nd chances.
He realises he was right all the time.  That he should not have been distracted by irrelevancies or be deflected.
What a clever way of putting it   😀
I’m not just verbalising those words.   I genuinely believe the truth in that.   I’ve been thinking of excactly the same truth for myself.
Thank you, David, for authenticating it!   😀

Our Endearing and Enduring CRUSH

Screencap from Acoustic Crush Youtube Video

Love this CRUSH kid

Despite the 10 years that have gone by  ..  despite the faint hint of wrinkles (!! joke!!)  ..  despite the ripened maturity and more mellow buoyancy he demonstrates (?? really??)  ..  I feel the passion he exudes from his voice in this stripped down version is beautifully augmented and more profoundly felt.  He is no longer just singing sweet and lovable.   He means Business!!   😀

Watch out for the 346 mark and the brief 405 mark.  I thought I’ve always preferred to listen to the lower register of his voice when he croons into my ear with that smoky timbre,  but this!  – the sudden heightening of the intensity of his voice blew me to some sort of ever-lasting heaven.  ♥

I’m second and third guessing David is busy behind the scenes writing new music or preparing for his Christmas songs and I’m grateful he is taking the time off to celebrate his 10 years with this – our ever-endearing CRUSH.   ♥
