David Archuleta Talks About Turning Down Record Labels & Plans For New Music

Idol alum and former Jive Records artist David Archuleta talked with Yes World recently about his upcoming trip to Malaysia.

In the interview, David talks about plans to release a new song this year: "I want to try to release something new for the fans. I don't want to make a full album this year, of course I will down the road, but not this year. But I do want to give something. And so I've been thinking about releasing another song for the fans who've been so patient, and have been good. And that's what I'm working towards. In the last couple of weeks I've been meeting different people in L.A. too."

Archuleta also discusses the importance of writing in Nashville: "I'm going to Nashville because I've done writing in Nashville before in the past and that's where I felt magic. I need to follow this direction and this feeling and I feel it here in Nashville. A lot of people think that “Oh Nashville, so you go to country, you're going to do country music now?” It's like no, there are a lot of different writers here. A lot of people like Ke$ha, Kings of Leon, Paramore, they're all from Nashville. so there's more than just country here."

And finally, David was open about why he hasn't signed with another label yet: " I've actually met with other record labels and I got offered deals to get signed again. But I just felt like you know what, why? It's like why get signed so I can have the same problems that I had before? I want to spend time writing, get those songs together, and then go out and say I'm ready. I'm ready to make an album and show it to the record labels and say this is the music I'm going to do."

Masterclass Monday: I Want To Be Able To Do The Music That I Feel: David Archuleta

Where did this young man come from? I am speaking about the sublimely gifted Season 7 American Idol Runner-Up, David Archuleta.

This interview from Yes.My was conducted to herald David’s return to Malaysia for a full concert on 26 July 2011 at Stadium Negara.

The article states that “hot off the release of his new album ‘The Other Side of Down’, David shares with us his plans for the future, his recent departure from record   label JIVE, and his take on relationships”.

More after the break!

However, it was the tone of the article that captured me. It strongly highlighted David’s profound maturity and intelligence, how he has such an enormous grasp on the truly important things in life, such as integrity, spiritual belief and an highly developed moral compass.

I had the pleasure of meeting David when he was on tour with the Season 7 American Idol finalists. When my husband later asked about the “meet and greet”, I said it was an enormously enjoyable experience.

However, I also remarked that I felt that there was something else going on with David that was intangible and very special. He seemed to view the world through sensitive and meaningful eyes, very knowledgeable and perceptive.

This article reinforced everything that impacted me during my singular meet with David.

You must read it and share your thoughts. If nothing else, you will walk away with a renewed sense of respect for the very gifted David Archuleta.

Also, this article is the first in a series of articles from a new feature here at MasterclassLady.Com called Masterclass Monday

Each Monday, I will add videos photos and articles that I feel provide am enormous learning experience for the MCL Community. And, since I can’t be everywhere on the WWW, your suggestions are welcome as well. Hope to hear from all of you.
