Christmas from the Heart – David Archuleta
Tis the season where I prepare myself to do many blogs on Christmas releases – movies, music, books – but allow me to start a big early by talking about my favorite Star Search alum and American Idol Season 7 sweetheart, David Archuleta. What a talent he is – sweet, cuddly, and his smooth, young voice is always rewarding to listen to on a really bad day. I will never forget his rendition of John Lennon’s “Imagine” on American Idol – it made me cry and feel a sense of passion that I do not often feel for cover songs. He is young and charming – what a character.
Listening to his Christmas album is no different – in the spirit of the holidays I always love to feel the “warm fuzzies” and drink a good cup of hot chocolate in front of the fire. His release “Christmas from the Heart” is one I would recommend anybody use for a good Christmas party or a cuddle session with a lover on a snowy night. This is David Archuleta doing his finest covers – from “Joy to the World” to the tear-inducing “Ave Maria” with the Salt Lake City Children’s Choir and the City of Prague Philharmonic – one of my favorite classics, beautifully covered. Grab your tissues.
Start your holiday season a little bit early – light up the lights, decorate the tree, and grab a good cup-o-nog – put in “Christmas from the Heart”, sit back, relax, close your eyes – and take it in. It is elegant – and coming from the vocals of such a young artist – it is one to keep in your collection – he has years to go in his career – and many Christmas’ in the future to make beautifully harmonized melodies – from the heart.
Favorite track: Ave Maria
Overall Grade: A
Recommended: Light your fires, get the family – absolutely.

Jenn – As an Archuleta Fan, I just wanted to thank you for such a wonderful review of David’s Christmas CD. David’s vocal ability shines brightly in each an every song he covers. Surely his beautiful voice comes directly from heaven itself. You can feel his heart & soul in each rendition. I could listen to this CD all year long, not just at Christmas. I loved all the songs, but, I too, especially loved Ava Maria. It brought me to my knees as well as shedding tears. His ability to sing in different languages was impeccable. He is such a great musical talent & artist. I look forward to many more wonderful years of David’s music. God bless him, his family & his career!!

I sure do agree with everything in this review. I listen to CFTH everyday, at least once, and I also think I’ll listen to it all year long. Its just so soothing. I can be tense, and I find it totally relaxing to listen to. I just close me eyes and listen, just as he closes his eyes when he’s singing. It’s wonderful, fantastic, beautiful………………

Totally agree with Jenn. Ave Maria is beautifully done – it just kills you!!
David knows how to take you to a totally different place and time with his voice especially with heartfelt songs like these.
Can’t wait to put up my tree and listen to his CD, now I really have something to look forward to.
