 GALLERY LINK: LOS ANGELES — Since David Cook won the title in May, his fans have been hungrily anticipating the arrival of the American Idol’s self-titled album, out today. Cook can empathize. The seventh-season champ describes David Cook as the reintroduction of David Cook, not the Idol grunt at boot camp but the liberated rocker at ground zero. The seventh-season champ describes David Cook as the reintroduction of David Cook, not the Idol grunt at boot camp but the liberated rocker at ground zero. “I wanted this record to be a definition of me as a person,” says Cook, parked in 19 Entertainment’s conference room overlooking the Sunset Strip. “The goal was to make an eclectic rock record. Bar-Ba-Sol is guitar-driven and heavy but still melodic. On the flip side is Permanent, with a string section and piano. The power behind that song is the angst and the vocal. I love both songs for the aspects in my character that they define. It sounds egotistical, but I see myself as a complex person.” |
