Just because David Archuleta is in Chile on a Mormon mission, does not mean he’s completely disappeared. On August 7, Begin, an album of covers David recorded before he left the United States for his two year mission, will be released.

Check out the track list below.

According to press notes, the album was “created to musically portray” David’s “connection to God.” The album ends with “Broken,” as song David wrote.

    Of course; I agree 100%.  American’s think quality over quantity; even if your own original song sucks, it’s automatically good under American standards simply because it’s ‘original’ no matter how disposable or forgettable it is.  Instead of inspiring artist development by first learning how to properly interpret songs, they encourage you to write without knowing what you’re doing, and so we have this abysmal crap playing on radio stations made by these people who think they’re too good for covers.  The scary thing is I know people like this in real life who think they are too good for that stuff, and when they end up writing their own material, it’s all monotonous and one-dimensional.
