    *Dusts off thread, clears away cobwebs*

    Still no real news in Cookworld, sadly :( Only that DC says album is almost done and is expected to be released Q1 2011.

    On a happier note, David recently performed at a charity event in New York. Here are a couple of his songs, enjoy :D

    Heroes/Champagne Supernova

    High and Dry

    Also, some of the footage from the AI promo shoot has been posted on-line:

    Welcome Home, David Cook

    So David attended the star studded launch of a pancake mix (only in Hollywood, lol) and gave this interview, with some album news. More are expected to follow.

    ETA: he looks happy, relaxed and positively glowing :D

    It's turning into quite the week on the David Cook front :D

    Last night he had his first twitter Q&A session for ages, unfortunately it was 2am our time and I hadn't turned off my phone *props open eyelids with toothpicks*

    Anyway, out of the blue this wonderful AOLPopeater article and video popped up of an exclusive visit to the recording studio.

    Promo is most definitely ramping up, DCTR2 is coming y'all ;)

    It's all good news Karen :D Loving DYFAM, hoping the production on it, with voice up front and centre, is an indication for the album, although not sure if Matt S produced it (the new piccies on DCO aren't half bad either :D )
  • KarenFHKarenFH Posts: 426

    Heh, Matt S did produce it, only it was Matt Squire nor Serletic :D Totally separate from the album. It was recorded a couple of weeks ago after DCTR2 was at the mixing stage.

    *Deves into the depths of DS to retrieve thread*

    Runway Magazine has posted the behind the scenes video of their photo shoot for the Spring 2011 issue.

    America's Next Top Model

    David looks goood, and Don't You (Forget About Me) sounds great :D

    Speaking of which, it is now available on UK i-Tunes and Amazon UK (possibly other retailers, I didn't check). Good timing with double Das Bootage this week as 2 will be going.

    As for new single/album: some rumblings in the ether about an Idol performance on 21st April. With the Pet-A-Palooza appearance on 9th April, we should hear something in the next 2 weeks. *fingers crossed*

    David sounds great in Don't You (Forget about Me). It's nice to hear his voice again.

    I was about to post this. I didn't know who that version was by so I just searched on the song title in itunes and it came up.

    DCO posted a sneak peek at the lyrics to the chorus of The Last Goodbye, D's new single to be released on Apr 19th.

    According to a Ryan Tedder interview (David's co-writer) it is "uptempo", "emotional" and "you wouldn't know I had written it".

    On Saturday 9th April D and the guys played an 8 song semi-acoustic set at Mix94.1's Pet-A-Palooza in Las Vegas.

    Among the usual suspects were 2 new covers:

    Drive-The Cars

    Rolling in the Deep - Adele!

    And a track that D confirmed will be on the new record:

    Paper Heart

    It's an excellent cover, and feeds my pony of a duet between David and Adele, reckon their voices would really suit

    Well, you never know. Adele will be on tour in the US during May.

    Maybe, their worlds could collide.....

    Lots of juicy bits in the interview including confirmation that the Dave, Neal and Andy song - Goodbye to the Girl makes it onto the album.
