Los Angeles, CA, United States (AHN) – David Archuleta, named the “Best American Idol ever” in a Billboard readers poll, has revealed the title and release date for his sophomore album. “The Other Side of Down” is set to hit stores on September 14th.

“I’m really looking forward to releasing this album. Most of the songs on the album represent thoughts and experiences that I’ve personally gone through,” Archuleta said in a statement.

“I hope this album helps people understand more of where I’m coming from as an artist and as a person,” he continued. “It’s about moving forward in life, making progress in accomplishing your goals and dreams while appreciating what life has given you.”

“Something ‘Bout Love” is the first single to lead Archuleta’s new album. The dance-fueled track, produced by S*A*M & Sluggo (Katy Perry, Metro Station) and co-written by Archuleta, is a departure for the 19-year-old “Idol” runner-up.

The single will be available for digital download on July 20th. The track is available for listening online and is set to impact radio on August 2nd. A music video for “Something ‘Bout Love” is on the way and will be directed by Declan Whitebloom, who helmed Archuleta’s “Crush” video.

He also penned his first book, “Chords of Strength: A Memoir of Soul, Song, And The Power of Perseverance,” which was released this summer and is currently on a book signing tour.

Archuleta’s new album is the follow-up to his self-titled album released in 2008, and 2009’s “Christmas from the Heart”

“I’m really looking forward to releasing this album. Most of the songs on the album represent thoughts and experiences that I’ve personally gone through,” says David. “I hope this album helps people understand more of where I’m coming from as an artist and as a person.  It’s about moving forward in life, making progress in accomplishing your goals and dreams while appreciating what life has given you.”

Earlier this year, David Archuleta earned the distinction of the “Best American Idol ever” in a Billboard magazine reader poll. Archuleta was the American Idol Season 7 runner-up in 2008, and he’s widely known for his exceptional vocal talent and charismatic boy next door charm. The 19-year-old Utah native received accolades for his self-titled 2008 debut;  People magazine observed, “There’s a surprising freshness to his pop CD.”  The album contained the hit song “Crush,” which has sold over 2.3 million digital units to date, and went on to sell over 750,000 albums.  Last year, he released a seasonal album, Christmas From The Heart and it is certain to become a holiday staple for years to come.

In June 2010, Archuleta penned his first book Chords of Strength: A Memoir of Soul, Song, And The Power of Perseverance which debuted on the New York Times Best Seller list.  The autobiography chronicles lessons he’s learned in his young life so far and encourages young people to follow their dreams.  

David is currently on a national book signing tour and in the process of completing his forthcoming album.

From AFS:

There are five new songs registered at ASCAP with David Archuleta listed as one of the co-writers. Being listed in ASCAP does not necessarily mean, however, that these songs will be on his new album, particularly since David is not listed as the performer for these songs, as of yet. But that could change.

September 14 Release Date for David’s Album?

Annie from Germany tweeted this exciting news this morning:

My contact @ Sony Music Germany just told me Sept 14 is scheduled to be worldwide release date for David Archuleta’s next album (date STC!!).

Date STC = Date Subject To Change. My contact said “as things stand today Sept 14 will be worldwide release date” – so it might still change.

He didn’t specifiy whether that means physical CD release for all regions worldwide too, but from past releases I doubt it.

Click on the above picture to go there!

Thanks for the letting us know Annie!

Hey Everyone,

We’d like to announce a date change on the release of David’s new single. It will now be available everywhere on July 20th, not the 13th. The change was made because David wants to give his fans WAY more than just a single, and needed an extra week to do it, but trust us it will be worth it.

On July 20th, right here on the site, you will be able to pre-order David’s brand new, upcoming album! When you pre-order you’ll be able to receive “Somethin ‘Bout Love” as an instant download, but that’s not all. Also on the 20th, you’ll be able to pre-order a very special fan edition of David’s new album! We’ll give you all the details on what it is soon!

So, instead of just a single, you’ll be getting the whole package! Stay tuned for the big day, and in the meantime, check out the single artwork for “Somethin’ Bout Love” right here!

Mark your calendars! July 20th. Can’t wait!!!
