'Idolatry': David Cook gives us scoop on writing his sophomore CD!

Say what you want about David Cook, but don’t call him lazy. After taking home the American Idol season 7 crown in May 2008, Cook spent that summer and fall writing and recording his self-titled debut album during breaks in the “Idols Live” concert tour. The resulting CD has now gone on to sell 1.3 million copies (according to Nielsen SoundScan), due in no small part to Cook’s relentless touring schedule; he played 153 shows in 2009 (not counting trips to Iraq and the Philippines, nor corporate and promotional gigs). But there was no extended vacation for Cook when he finally sent his tour bus to the garage in December. Instead, he headed back to the studio to start the writing process for his sophomore disc, which he hopes to release in mid-2010.
While visiting New York City for a recording session in late January, Mr. Cook took on one more task, stopping by the Idolatry studios and spilling a little scoop on his work-in-progress: We got some details on his dream collaborators (Max Martin), heard about some “lofty ideas” (like going the Imogen Heap route), and were treated to four separate titles of songs he hopes will make the final album cut (!!!).
Press play below for the full Cook experience (did I mention he’s sporting a fetching jewel-toned shirt?), and to get all my Idol-related scoop, follow me on Twitter @EWMichaelSlezak.
Here's the full interview on Youtube (from the Brazilian Word Nerds):

Thank you for posting this. David is looking good. This was really a smart interview.
I loved this interview. David looks great! And I can't believe he named four songs! You and I, Tonight Is On Our Side, With Me Empty, and Boomerang. Squeee! Just thinking about it is making me even more excited about the new record. Oh, the anticipation!
All I can say is 'EEEEEEEEE!!!' I am so excited for the new record!
I do wish he hadn't said the song he did with Neal and Andy probably won't make the CD. However, time will tell. I did like that title. Makes me want to see the lyrics.
Looks like he will be needing a keyboard player on tour if he is going to use a lot more piano. I do think that the addition of piano will help round out the sound. I remember how much I enjoyed hearing Light On when Tony sat in and played. It really made a difference in the sound.
