David Archuleta To Record New Album En Español?

By Michael Lopez

We love hearing about music artists getting in touch with their Latin roots. So what if they’re not native Spanish speakers, the fact that they are interested in reciprocating the love to their Latino fans is good enough for us. And now pop star David Archuleta’s talking about belting out his next batch of hits en Español!

In a phone interview with HitFix.com, David mentioned,

"I really wanna do a Spanish album. I have that Latin culture background. It's a part of me. I'm not the best Spanish speaker, but I have a longing to connect with that. I just think how supportive the Latin community has been, even during 'Idol.' I'd like to give back with something like that."

Pretty awesome news! Although it may take a little while until we hear his big Spanish debut. Right now David's got his hands full with the release of his second big record, titled The Other Side Of Down.

Already getting tons of buzz thanks to a really cool kick-off single, Down is set to drop next Tuesday (October 5). And for those who want the full Archuleta experience, his site is offering a deluxe version complete with a DVD, hand initialed pix, and a David friendship bracelet.
