Rumors that had David Archuleta about to sign a deal with Jive records look to be legit.
A short press release has appeared on the website of Jive’s parent company, the Zomba Group:

Archuleta is currently gearing up for the upcoming American Idol tour which kicks off on July 1st in Glendale, AZ. The 17-year old is expected to release his debut album later this year.

Congrats to Archie. Good luck!
I’m not sure if Lu has maybe mentioned this already elsewhere, but according to a poster at the etrain who went to see Josh in concert the other night, Josh said that he and Ryan Tedder are writing a song for Archie. :)
purplesmile- link please to the etrain forum?? and who is josh??
Josh Hoge
who is josh hoge?? the link went to his myspace..how does he know ryan tedder?
It’s just a little blurb here, ima. The etrain is Elliott Yamin’s fan forum. Josh Hoge is a musician who toured with Elliott last year (and made fans of some of the etrainers). He is a (good) songwriter and writes songs for other artists, including some of the Idols (e.g., Blake Lewis). :)
Congratulations David. I wish you lots of luck.
josh hoge…i remember from when he was trying to get some songs submitted for blake’s album. i like josh’s stuff :) it’s sort of acoustic/R&B influenced. i hope he does get to work with archie!
Fingers crossed David A gets a good album right out of the chute. I know I will buy it if I find even a few things to like on it. I really like this kid’s voice.
Congrats to David! I can’t wait for the album!!
Supposedly Josh Hoge and Ryan Tedder are writing a song for Archie’s album.
They worked on Blake’s album and Tedder will be working with Cook at well.
Archie could really kill with a strong ballad.
Somebody had already posted a link to the press release. She did it the correct way. She posted a link.
Please do not post an entire article in comments, particularly without a link to go with it. Thank you.
Jeez, sorry. It won’t happen again, don’t worry.
Since this is about Archie’s possible future career move, there is a story by National Enquirer about Archie’s possibility being involved in HSM3. I think it is just a rumour since it is from National Enquirer but hey, it can be a possibility.
