What is David Cook‘s recipe for success? For the pop-rock musician and American Idol Season 7 winner, it’s all about delivering constant surprises.

Nov 15, 2008 David Cook has come a long way since winning American Idol 7, and now he has a new album dished out for millions of fans waiting in anticipation. The wait has finally paid off, this album is packed with numerous radio friendly songs, from pop/rock ballads to heartbreaking emotional tracks. First single 'Light On' is. David Cook’s new album “This Loud Morning” will be released on June 28th! Pre-sale starts April 19th! Actually, you can pre-order This Loud Morning’ at David’s Official Website now, and get a free download of the Simple Mind’s cover, “Don’t You Forget About Me” that’s being used at the Idol farewell song. David Cook, his eponymously titled full-length major-label debut, was released six months later, featuring collaborations with artists like Chris Cornell, Collective Soul's Ed Roland, and Our Lady Peace's Raine Maida. The album was certified platinum in early 2009, just.
In partnership with PledgeMusic, Cook delivers a new EP to launch his fresh new sound. With 2006’s ANALOG HEART and 2015’s DIGITAL VEIN being the bookends to the first chapter of his discography thus far, CHROMANCEintroduces the next phase in Cook’s artistic evolution. Blending dark cinematic pop with his signature alternative-rock edge (think Halsey meets Nine Inch Nails), the EP reflects the singer-songwriter’s courageous and confident venture into experimenting with different styles, vibes, and production. True to the record’s name, Chromance explores the spectrum, from light to dark, of romantic love, while specifically targeting the darker themes and elements of matters of the heart that he had yet to present in his albums.
Kicking off the six-track EP is “The Lucky Ones,” an energetic, pulsating track about racing against time with your partner-in-crime that excels at getting the listener revved up. The battle cry of “Warfare” speaks to the addictive quality of attraction and fighting for a love that consumes you. Chromance‘s lead single, “Gimme Heartbreak,” is a slinky, blues-inspired number about choosing to stay in a toxic relationship. “Ghost Magnetic” is a foreboding track about the inability to escape from the ghosts of relationships past. Sung with a hauntingly sinister and jaded ache, “Circles” digs deep into the mindset of someone’s knowing they’re at the end of a relationship that cannot be resuscitated. In a thoughtful cover of Phil Collins‘ “Another Day in Paradise,” a commentary on the issue of homelessness, Cook brings to light the importance of acknowledgement and inclusion of our fellow human beings, a strong message highly relevant to today’s times. With CHROMANCE, Cook succeeds in presenting himself as a nuanced storyteller who doesn’t hold back from sharing perspectives that are seldom written or sung about.
