As reported by Billboard magazine https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/8473626/david-archuleta-christmas-every-day-exclusive , Multi-platinum selling artist David Archuleta has released his brand new Christmas album Winter In The Air  via The Orchard (digital) and Shadow Mountain Records (physical product). The album is already in the Top 10 on iTunes Holiday charts and is available at all digital retailers: http://geni.us/ArchuletaWinter .

Winter In The Air features 12 tracks including Christmas classics such as “White Christmas,” God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,” “Holly Jolly Christmas” and “Mary, Did You Know?”  In addition to co-writing the lead single “Christmas Every Day,” David also co-wrote the title track “Winter In The Air” and “He Is Born” for the new set. 

“Christmas Every Day” captures the holiday spirit with David’s hopeful and cheery lyrics –

Sidewalks covered up in snow
Lights up everywhere we go
Santa’s on his way,
It’s Christmas every day
Friends all warmed up by the fire,
Sometimes I just wish that
I could always feel this way
Like it’s Christmas every day
If I could have one more gift just for me
Joy to the world it would be
With more Christmases under the tree.
David says: I tend to gravitate to more serious and slower Christmas songs. This time I wanted to have some fun and write a song that would make people happy and feel the joy of the holidays. With the help of Dave Barnes and Cason Cooley, Im thrilled with how our song “Christmas Every Day” turned out! It makes me happy.

Winter In The Air is David’s second Christmas album since 2009’s Christmas From The Heart release.  Christmas From The Heart has made a return to the charts every holiday season and has sold over 250K copies to date.  The album peaked at #2 on Billboard’s Holiday chart and Top 30 on Billboard’s Top 200 Album chart.

In support of the new release, David will kick-off a month long tour beginning November 26 in Los Angeles and will wrap up on December 21 in Utah.  Other cities on the trek include New York, Orlando & Nashville.  Click here for ticketing info:  https://davidarchuleta.com/home/live/

Just Because...Trio

Threesome
l-r
Gina Rodriguez, Natalie Portman & George Clooney 
Just Because he looks so rejuvenated, Just Because she looks great without make-up & Just Because she always looks smashing - I hereby bring to you the trio of Gina Rodriguez, Natalie Portman & George Clooney.

This is what happens when you get a virgin named Jane, Jackie O and a former womanizer in the same vicinity. It's called a fantastic photo-op.

So what brought these strange bedfellows together? Rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong - naturally.

Oh, OK it was actually Variety's Power of Women event in Beverly Hills, CA

Now aren't you happy? Seriously, I am.

Go Just Because something. Do it and do it now!

So you won't forget  the lyrics to his latest "Gimme Heartbreak"...


David Cook premiered his brand new single, ”Gimme Heartbreak” last month on Yahoo! Music David Cook Premieres New Song ‘Gimme Heartbreak,’ Gives Fans What They Want  and debuts the lyric video on VEVO -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koKubQMiQe4

David tells Variety magazine http://variety.com/2017/music/news/american-idol-david-cook-gimme-heartbreak-inspiration-halsey-1202497475/ that he made “a conscious effort going into the production to incorporate more cinematic pop elements.” Taking inspiration from recent releases — “I was listening to Halsey’s  ‘Badlands’ record,” he reveals — Cook also leaned on “old standbys like Nine Inch Nails and Massive Attack” to find “vibes” for a new direction with “Gimme Heartbreak.”

Gimme Heartbreak” is the lead track from David’s forthcoming untitled EP, which is slated to be released later this fall. David is again involving his fans in the EP making process via a PledgeMusic Campaign www.pledgemusic.com/davidcook.

Gimme Heartbreak” is available on all digital providers and is the first new music from the multi-talented and multifaceted singer-songwriter since 2015’s Digital Vein album release, which debuted in the top 5 on Billboard’s Pop Chart. Gimme Heartbreak features David’s impressive strong vocals backed by synth beats "Gimme Heartbreak” feels like a new chapter to me.  New direction, new energy.  A new sound that I'm excited to share and build on, says David.
