Product Description
Album Description
2010 album from the American Idol Season 7 contestant and fan favorite. Other Side of Down includes a sequence of pop tracks that intertwine contemporary sounds with genuine lyrics. The first single, 'Something `Bout Love', is an uptempo track produced by Sam & Sluggo. The fun-loving beat is coupled with the meaningful and optimistic message that there is `something `bout love that breaks your heart, but [you] don't give up.'

Awesome album, have it on repeat!,
By Claire Giannini "Music major" (Toronto, Ont. Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Other Side Of Down (Audio CD)
I've loved David Archuleta's incredible voice ever since American Idol, but what really surprised me about this record was how it shows off his phenomenal talents as a songwriter. Archuleta wrote all but two of the tracks and delivers an album of solid, catchy pop songs with substance and meaning. Great catchy grooves and soaring choruses that make you dance, sing along and feel aMAZing. And best of all, they are all so HIM -- quirky, young and fun but with a depth of meaning beneath it all. Love lyrics like "I just want to steal this moment right away from time" and "paint it over if your world is grey." My favourite songs are "Elevator," "Stomping the Roses," "The Other Side of Down" and the heartbreakingly personal love song, "My Kind of Perfect." Can't recommend this album highly enough!!!

This album is a MUST BUY!!,
This review is from: Other Side Of Down (W/Dvd) (Audio CD)
David has really done a fantastic job on this album! Each and every song is AMAZING, and not only is he an inspirational vocalist, but because he wrote 10/12 songs himself it's given the album a more personal and uplifting fee to it. He's put so much of himself on this album and you can really feel the heart and the soul that's been put into this. He's given so much more than could ever have been expected. Thank you David Archuleta!! <333

Pure David, pure fun.,
By Biblio - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Other Side Of Down (Audio CD)
It seems David Archuleta's virtues sometimes become vices with reviewers. Everyone agrees that David has extraordinary vocal talent and so it is natural that listeners want David to produce vocal extravaganzas and not much else. The thing with David is that because he is extraordinarily talented, he can and does enjoy singing an eclectic range of music.So if you are tired of albums where every song sounds the same, then this is the album for you. If you are tired of music which is depressing and sleazy and long for something uplifting and joyful, then this is the album for you. If you are tired of talentless singers, then this is the album for you. No not every song is a ballad - many of them showcase fun catchy melodies - but that is a part of what makes this album so great; this album is called The Other Side Of Down for a reason and David's voice is showcased very well. As a songwriter for 10 of the 12 songs on this album, David's goal was to share his fun, quirky personality and produce music that would have a lasting positive message. The album includes bouncy, quirky tracks such as "Elevator" and the title track 'The Other Side Of Down' with its message of continuing to put one foot in front of the other and not letting life get you down. It includes the radio-friendly and currently popular synthesizer sound of "Something Bout Love" where David acknowledges that love isn't always easy but it's always worth it. There are songs with catchy melodies like "Look Around" and "Complain" as well as tunes that can only be described as beautiful and touching such as "Falling Stars" and "Things are Gonna Get Better". All of this is capped off with "My Kind of Perfect" which is a gorgeous ballad about looking on the inside of a person when looking for love rather than the superficial outside. The two most important elements that tie this album together is the undeniable vocal talent that is David Archuleta and the irrepressibly positive message in each and every song. Altogether, this album has something for everyone and will leave you loving every song for entirely different reasons. Listen to this album and you'll find yourself having a better day. Listen to it often and you'll find yourself giving yourself pep talks about not letting the difficult moments in life get the better of you. 24 of 25 people found the following review helpful

TOSOD is my jam!,
By munk - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Other Side Of Down (Audio CD)
I love this album! Great catchy songs. David did a great job writing these songs. Great messages, great voice. The messages deal with adversity in life and how we can deal with it. Something we all face. This take on coming out of the hard times is great! Love this whole CD! Can't get enough of it! We need something to pull us out of the negative stuff that is in our face all the time! Way to go David! I would highly recommend this album to anyone!

sophmore album showcases the artist,

This review is from: Other Side Of Down (Audio CD)
David puts himself out there in his second pop album. Having co-written 10 of the 12 tracks, you can hear how much he's grown as an artist and vocalist in the last 2 years. If you're tired of the junky lyrics and pointless on Top 40, give this a listen.
