Songs During his Central Park videos, David Archuleta discussed the making of all the songs on his new album, The Other Side of Down. While most songs were written by David and others about David’s own experiences, one was not. Making this song was a challenge: to sing a beautiful song without letting it get too ‘cheesy’ and to ‘not sound like himself’. Yes, the producer Emanuel “Eman” Kiriakou had the fortitude to ask David not to sound like David! The result is an inspiration. David’s falsetto is flawlessly sung and the deeper notes are full and strong, making a very ‘manly’ and energetic performance. It’s one of my all-time favorites!
