Dapo & Friends Christmas, Volume One

Music producer, Dapo (Justin Bieber, John Legend, Brandy, David Archuleta) recently invited some friends to his studio and created his first Holiday album titled, “Dapo & Friends Christmas”. Most producers with a work ethic like Dapo’s know that making time for a project like this can be extremely challenging – but after taking a listen to entire album, it is certain his dedication turned out to be very rewarding.

The album is made of of 9 Christmas classics and one original, all produced & arranged by Dapo. “Dapo & Friends Christmas” features the vocal talent of friends: Max Schneider, Stacy Barthe, David Archuleta, Gaby Ramirez, Ginny Blackmore, Abraham McDonald, Nikki Flores, TC, Scotty Granger, and a jazz instrumental with Dapo (on multiple instruments) and with bassist, Robert “Bubby” Lewis.

Dapo personally considers this project very special and plans to take it a step further next year with “Dapo & Friends Christmas: Volume 2” followed up by hosting a Live Show that will benefit those in need during the Holiday Season. Enjoy!

"My Kind Of Christmas"

I found this on tumblr tonight, a "My Kind Of Perfect" parody titled "My Kind Of Christmas" in honor of the tour! Great job Virginia!

“My Kind Of Christmas” By 1SpecialSong (Virginia H.)
Parody of: “My Kind Of Perfect” by David Archuleta
Written For: The “My Kind Of Christmas Tour 2011”

I was thinking about ya
Looking at some pictures
But some things are always remembered
Like the snow falling to the ground
How the silence sounds so loud
Got more things to do
Than draw on the window

I know, I know, you’re lurking out there
I know, I know, you’re coming

Maybe you’re here
Maybe it’s time
Maybe Christmas is in the sky
What do I feel?
Such a big part of my life
Fall is gone. Is it today?
Will I turn the corner
And see the carolers singing away
Maybe

It’s a little bit mystical
A string of lights
No matter what, I’m warm on the inside
It’s gonna be worth it
‘Cause this is perfect
I’ll keep singing on my kind of Christmas

I know, I know the smell in the air
I know, I know, I gotta see

Maybe you’re here
Maybe it’s time
Maybe Christmas is in the sky
What do I feel?
Such a big part of my life
Fall is gone. Is it today?
Will I turn the corner
And see the carolers singing away
Maybe

They say nothing’s right
Nothing’s right, until this single night
But you see the light in the dark
Of this O Holy Night

But maybe you’re here
Maybe it’s time

Fall is gone. Is it today?
Will I turn the corner
And see the carolers singing away
Maybe

Maybe you’re here
Maybe it’s time
Maybe Christmas is in the sky
What do I feel?
Such a big part of my life
Fall is gone. Is it today?
Will I turn the corner
And see the carolers singing away
Maybe

I’ll keep singing on my kind of Christmas

David's working hard!

Going to record some scratch vocals!

Preston Powis' new song "Let Me In", co-written by David

available now on itunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/let-me-in-single/id457941714

"LET ME IN" PRESTON POWIS
produced by chuck e. myers
written by preston powis, david archuleta, and dean kaelin

Inspired by the classic films of old Hollywood, Let Me In combines the raw emotion of a pop-rock ballad with the beauty of orchestral film score. The music video pays tribute to that source of musical inspiration with its cinematic styling. Let Me In, in its nod to the movies, is a story of stark realization and love lost. Even through pain and feelings of doubt, a glimmer of hope still remains.

EDIT: Saw this on Fanscene, Dean Kaelin shares how "Let Me In" came about:

As far as the Preston Powis collaboration; David and I started writing some songs together a couple of years ago when he was doing his first album. We got several ideas down that I liked, but we never got a chance to finish them up. I mentioned to David that I had another talented student that I thought was an excellent writer and wondered if it would be ok with David if I let him listen to what we started and see what he would do with it. David said that would be ok. Preston finished up the song and we recorded it and sent it to David hoping that he might include it on his newest album. The song didn’t fit in with the album so David didn’t use it. I asked David later that since he wasn’t going to use the song if it would be ok if Preston used it himself.

Preston is a great young man. I think he has a wonderful voice and is a great writer. He has always sung, but was inspired by David to pursue his dream and try to become a recording artist himself. He was honored that David would let him work on an idea that David and I started.

Lyrics after the break!

Live Nation wants to know

I'd say Something 'Bout Love or Touch My Hand. What David song would you listen to loud enough to blow out your speakers?

Has a David song ever inspired you to make a change in your life?

I saw this and immediately thought of TOSOD. Every song on the album really, but I think mostly for me it's been TOSOD.



So if a David song has ever inspired you to make a change in your life, let Live Nation know HERE and let us know in the comments!

If anyone can make me fall in love, You Can

A couple in my home state of MA got married and used "You Can" as their wedding song! My fave <3

Something 'Bout Archie...THE SONG.

Aida rewrote Something 'Bout Love, and turned it into Something 'Bout Archie!

There's something 'bout Archie, Archie

There's something 'bout Archie, Archie

Every night, it's all the same.

Watching his interviews,

You sigh, nothing's changed.

You turn them down everyday.

You're waiting for him.

There's something 'bout Archie that makes you smile,

Woah-oh-oh-oh...It makes you melt.

There's something 'bout Archie that makes you grin

Woah-oh-oh-oh...I really hate

What he does to us, it's evil,

He'll bring you to your knees

There's something 'bout Archie that keeps you on your toes

Woah-oh-oh-oh, with his modest shirts.

There's something 'bout Archie.

When he was young, scared of the screams,

That meant he had a lot of girls to see him (yeah)

Your time will come, the CFTH is gone,

It's finally time for The Other Side of Down.

There's something 'bout Archie that makes you smile,

Woah-oh-oh-oh...It makes you melt.

There's something 'bout Archie that makes you grin

Woah-oh-oh-oh...I really hate

What he does to us, it's evil,

He'll bring you to your knees

There's something 'bout Archie that keeps you on your toes

Woah-oh-oh-oh, with his modest shirts.

There's something 'bout Archie.

Don't fight, don't hide those stars in your eyes,

Let 'em shine tonight.

Let 'em shine tonight.

Get pumped, get psyched for the night of your life,

His concerts are great,

So amazing.

There's something 'bout Archie that makes you smile,

Woah-oh-oh-oh...It makes you melt.

There's something 'bout Archie that makes you smile,

Woah-oh-oh-oh...It makes you melt.

There's something 'bout Archie that makes you grin

Woah-oh-oh-oh...I really hate

What he does to us, it's evil,

He'll bring you to your knees

There's something 'bout Archie that keeps you on your toes

Woah-oh-oh-oh, with his modest shirts.

There's something 'bout Archie. [x2]

Great job Aida! Love it! ;)
