RSSDavid Archuleta’s Crush
Aug 13
David Archuleta released his first post-American Idol single this week and it quickly sped up to the number one place on iTunes Top Songs download list. The track, Crush, is a Latin-tinged pop song. Archuleta’s producers apparently opted to avoid going the ballad route. The song is unsurprisingly catchy though for most of it, Archuleta sounds like he’s racing breathlessly through lyrics like “I’m trying to walk away. I know this crush ain’t going away.” Well maybe breathless sells singles.

David has delivered an amazing first single to his fans, and the public. It is rhythmic, David’s superior vocals soar and are identifiable throughout, has a catchy beat.. Hey-> I watched lotsa American Bandstand back in the day
His older fans like me find themselves humming along unconsciously, and the verses transport the listener back to those bygone days of school girl and schoolboy CRUSHES… It has an appeal across a very broad spectrum of listeners, and should effectively silence the detractors and critics who didn’t believe he had mainstream appeal. CRUSH is the catapult for David to continue his growth and evolution as an artist – I ANTICIPATE MANY MANY YEARS OF OUTSTANDING MUSIC FROM HIM. TAKE A BOW DAVID… YOU’VE ARRIVED.
