I heard a rumor David Cook will be working with Jesse McCartney and Ryan Tedder on his new album.... Who HASN'T Ryan Tedder worked with? Blake Lewis, his own band, Hilary Duff, a bunch of other people that just don't come to mind right now... lol He's gonna be like the next Timbaland or something. Idk, he writes music with everyone. And Jesse McCartney... Well, he wrote Bleeding Love or something and I kinda like the lyrics in that song.

This could mean a huge hit record for David. But does anyone know if the rumor is true?

*Sorry if this was previously posted by someone else.*

i heard the ryan tedder rumor too!

i've heard ryan tedder but not jesse. that would be interesting!:)

I heard that he was working with Ryan, Jesse and Raine Maida from Our Lady Peace will be working with him.

If this is all true then it is going to be one awesome cd.

the Jesse McCartney thing gets me. Because when I see or hear his name I just think boyband pop.

I do too, but apparently he's grown as a songwriter or something. He writes songs for some artists now, I hear, and it's more versatile, but I'm not 100% on it.

Well, did he write Bleeding Love for Leona Lewis?

Raine maida better work with david.
haha i could probably email raine and ask him.
EDIT: I emailed him, hopefully he'll get back to me.

oh man, OLP is such an amazing band.
Raine maida's solo cd and lyrics in general are amazing.
his producing is AMAZING he likes to bring out the natural in artists.
he doesn't like to fix artists voice hence his wifes latest cd "Ghost Stories" raine did nothing to her voice.
if Raine produces and co-wrote some of davids songs for the entire cd.. it would definetly be a hit...

WOOO i hope that rumour is true. - well the raine one anyways hahaha

yea. davids cd is going to be awesome with the writters hes working with

*gulp*

Why am I suddenly afraid?

i saw the jesse rumor somewhere...i just can't quite recall where at this moment. i totally think boyband at first whenever i hear his name, however i must say that he grew up and in quite a great way (am i the only one who finds him slightly attractive now that he has gotten older??)....hopefully it will turn out great!...i agree that raine should work with him though, can we say awesome?

Happy to say that David has publicly confirmed that he will be working with Raine on the new effort. Which is the best news I've ever heard. I can't even imagine the magic that will happen in that studio! bliss, bliss, bliss, I tell ya.

Yes, Jesse McCartney wrote Bleeding Love. . . .

well im officially like a million times more excited for this cd now that i've read that!

I know! Me, too!! I'd pay good money to just be a fly on the wall and watch those 2 create! Talk about artistry!

And I'm so happy for David. Kind of a dream come true right there. How sweet.

Edit:
<---WOOHOO! My 800th post! And how appropriate that it came in an OLP/DC topic. Love them both. *blissful smile*

my god, i can only imagine being there to see those two together, something tells me it would be amazing!

something also tells me that this won't be his last dream come true!

I have to admit I was a little worried when I heard the Jesse McCartney rumour. But he and Tedder wrote "Apologize" and "Bleeding Love" which are two great pop songs and we know how great Cookie was at turning around stuff that you would have thought wouldn't suit him. I bet Cookie could do a fantastic version of something like "Bleeding Love".

DUDE.
seriously, when was this, is there a link?!
FINALLY.. how awesome is that... working with one of his idols!
wish that was me.. well i wish i was in the room w/ david and raine....
lucky.

oh man those songs that raine and him are going to work on (and esp. if raine produces them - which he usually does for songs he works on) will be AMAZING. Raine is even producing the new OLP cd, oh man. this is exciting.
I wish the whole cd was just a mixture of Raine and David. well you know Raine co-writing some of the songs and producing the whole cd.

that is AMAZING....

I'm going to have to dig through my videos. I am pretty sure it was a video interview. TV Guide, maybe? Let me do some digging . . . I'll PM ya.

Found it! It was in OK magazine:

From MJ's, but I'm looking for the actual scan; TC usually posts those:

Barely crowned the American Idol, David Cook is already at work on his upcoming album for RCA records.

David tells OK Magazine that one of his collaborators will be Raine Maida from Our Lady Peace. After he performed their song “Innocent” on American Idol, Maida “reached out to him” and they’ve been corresponding via email. Says David, “I’m really excited I get to work with Raine Maida from Our Lady Peace because I’m a huge fan of that band. To be able to work with Raine is huge for me.”

And if y’all are wondering about the fate of David’s pre-Idol album, Analog Heart, some of those tunes might be making their way onto the album. David has submitted some of the songs to be used on the record, “We’re going to see where the vibe goes with the new stuff and see if they fit.” Will the album be re-released? “I don’t think there are any talks right now. That record was great; I had a lot of fun making it, but I’d rather not dwell in the past.” David adds, “I think if the songs fit in with what I’m doing currently, great, but if not, that was just a moment in my life.”

you know what ur gonna laugh when i say this but david cook was in my mom's soap opera magazine! and it said that jesse mccartney was gonna write for the upcoming david cook album (it also said about him writing "bleeding love".)

i'm excited, this'll be a great album!
