OlderDavid Cook Album Set For Fall 2008 Release
Season seven American Idol champion David Cook has been signed to Simon Fuller’s 19 Recordings / RCA Records and is preparing to start recording his debut album, which is due for release in fall 2008.
“David Cook is an extraordinarily versatile and talented artist with an impressive sense of musicality,” says Tom Corson, Executive Vice President and General Manager, RCA Music Group. “He is a natural performer and a true star. We are thrilled to welcome him into our family.”
Cook, 25, will be recording his album over the summer while on the road with the American Idol’s Live tour. The tour kicks off on July 1st in Glendale, AZ and wraps on September 13th in Tulsa, OK.
“I am extremely happy to be signed by 19 Recordings / RCA Records. Signing this deal is truly a dream come true. I am looking forward to the recording process and creating a record. The support I have received from America has been overwhelming and I can’t wait to hopefully do right by them,” says Cook.
Cook is also set to set a record “for debut entries on the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Digital Songs tomorrow as 11 titles enter the former, while 14 songs jump on the download tally. The onslaught is led by a No. 3 Hot 100 start for his original recording ‘The Time of My Life,’ which shifts 236,000 downloads to easily take the No. 1 spot on Hot Digital Songs.”

He looks like he’s going to be bald by the time he’s 30. Will all the girls still buy his records then?

“To be a real rock star, you can’t be “pretty”. Stop making reveryone like Zac Efron or Jon Bon Jovi”
who in their right minds every said that zac efron was a freaking rock star. seriously. hes an actor, performer. dont put him down just because someones putting a person you support down.
ps. zac efron is more successful than you will ever be. get over it :)
David Cook will be fine. People do not need to be spreading rumors about him like that Stephanie. I also have a family member who works for a large Utility Company here in the SouthEast, and he said that would NEVER HAPPEN, turning off someone’s electricity, without getting your job terminated, just because your son did like them. I would find it hard to believe, his Mother would be that childish and stupid, and stoop to that level. Everyone needs to give David a chance. David Archuleta will also prove himself down the road. He is young and has his whole life ahead of him.
22. whoever said zac efron was a fricken rockstar? hes more attractive than you’ll ever be, guarantee that one.
sorry it said i didnt post. lol
WHOO GO DAVID!
HE ROCKS!
I CANT WAIT TO HEAR HIM!
do i hear the names put together :
Daughtry/Clarkson/Underwood/Sparks/COOK!!
He’s like a male Kelly Clarkson, he’s amazing. And HOT!

No SHEET they can’t turn your lights off because your kid tells you to, I think pretty much EVERYONE here knows that. It was a FREAKING THREAT he used when he was a kid. We as Adults know that could never happen, but to a 6th grader, they don’t know any better.
I cant believe you had to come on here to say you know someone that works at an electric company and that what David threatened kids with (the ones he didn’t like), could never happen…ROTFL You are an adult right?
LOL, People really have to work hard to find reasons to hate on the guy, judging by some of your comments.
Really? KC and him had ONE date. Count it - ONE. Don’t believe for one second there’s anything serious there, nor will there be with how busy he’s going to be now.
Also - Yay for spreading false rumors, haters! No one believes your BS, but do continue to entertain yourselves.
DC - have all the luck in the world. You deserve it!
David Cook said he and Kimberly Caldwell will be seeing more of each other in an interview with Regis.
NO WAY IS DAVID COOK NEAR KELLY CLARKSONS CALIBER!! SHE IS THE ONLY IDOL THERE IS. THE BEST!!!!
Can’t wait . He is a very talented young man. It is nice to see an American Idol who is a real musician and very creative. I hope he includes some ballads- I love his voice in the slow songs.
AWESOME! Congrats Cookie. I always knew it :D
he looks scruffy…..wait a minute! is david cook related to dane cook?…. could be cousins?
David Cook is so over-rated, I bet his album will be a middle of the road yawnfest like him. His fan base consists of middle aged women who also voted for Clay and Taylor Hicks and look what happened to them, what a joke!
Tsk, tsk, tsk. My gosh, bitterness is all I can say to some of you. David Cook won people so get over it.
-Thanks JJ
Can’t wait!
I’m a total Archie fan BUT, I think David Cook is pretty awesome too! I can’t wait for his album!!!! go DC!
Congratulations to David Cook. I’m really looking forward to buying his cd. I haven’t cared for an American Idol this much since Chris Daughtry.
Wow! He just only won exactly a week and now he already has a record deal. Can’t wait for that.
David Cook is a real talent and he does not have to be a pretty face sissy like Zac Efron who is hot in his own right, but with the teen-bopper crowd. Two different talents with two different succesful careers in their future. Although honestly the edginessof Cook is more appealing to a larger demographics then the sweetness of Efron.
Cook is gonna get laid plenty of times while on tour. At least I hope so. You girls better get over that quick. I’m stoked to hear what he’s got in store. He’s really known in the indie rock world.
I think he and Kim Caldwell have been dating for awhile and I think he kept it underwraps to keep the votes coming in. With the heavy schedule AI puts the winners through (tv shows, interviews), there’s no way he would have time to have a first date and “just happen” to have it photographed. I also don’t think he would ask her out on tv unless he already knew the answer. Everything is a little toooo perfect and I feel a little played. Not because I wanted him for myself but because of how he represented himself. He seems like a total poser and player now and I would have never voted for someone like that. He’s got a great voice but it’s not just about the music for me. It’s the whole picture and his looks rather cheap at the moment.
CAN’T WAIT !! GO COOK !!!!!!
