American Idol winner David Cook has began writing and recording his sophomore album (third album overall), and he’s enlisted the industry’s most used & abused to help him out.
Collaborators on the album will include Avril Lavigne co-writer Chantal Kreviazuk, David Hodges formerly of Evanescence, Claude Kelly, Max Martin, and Ryan Tedder. {source}
One interesting fact is that all of the people mentioned above have previously worked with American Idol contestants, most multiple times.
David also mentioned that instead of building the album all around guitars it will instead be more piano based.
I thought that David’s last album was pretty good, and so did the buying public since it sold 1.3 million copies in the US, but he’s going to have to be careful this time around to make sure that he doesn’t disappear amongst all the Kris Allen’s and Daughtry’s.
The album is currently due out mid 2010.
