Stars aren't made, they're born. Who said American Idol was for amateurs? For all those that followed this last cycle will know David Archuleta was my favorite! Just by looking at him you would never know, when he opens his mouth, songs from heaven spill out. His voice is as calming as the sound of the ocean. Don't believe me, take a listen for yourself.

Releasing his first studio album, entitled David Archuleta, I must say this young man has made his mark in the industry. He was born to be a balladeer. With opening track Crush, a track very relative to all, sets the tone for the remainder of the album. He speaks of that special someone that captivates his entire mental cavity. We've all been there.

Despite his age, he sings as if he's experienced all that life has to offer. I've found myself listening to this album on repeat for the mere fact, I think I'm dreaming. Its an easy listen & it tells one story after another without the listener losing interest.

Without totally letting the cat out the bag, I highly recommend listening to this young man. I guarantee it wont be a disappointment. David, if you somehow catch wind of this, keep up the great work. Your fan here on Sound-Savvy is routing for ya!
