Since his win in 2008, Cook has been nonstop working on his music. He’s currently working on his second album, and tolf Hollyscoop EXCLUSIVELY what we can expect, and what he thinks of the future of Idol.
“I’ve been working on a new record since we got off the road late last year,” Cook told us. “Lot of writing, and we’re looking at early next year getting it out.”
David says he had “way more time” to spend on this album than his debut. He said fans can expect “a lot of different instrumentation, expanding on what we did on the last record, and hopefully bringing a few new ears into the group.”
As for American Idol, Cook told us he’s “hopeful” the show can survive without Simon Cowell. “Simon was a big part of the process for me,” he said. “I think the show is going to live or die on the contestants.”
Cook also told us his thoughts on J. Lo and Steven Tyler joining the judging panel. “I’m just excited to go back and meet them…I’m going to have to try real hard not to fan out on Tyler.”
He hopes the two new judges bring some “fresh perspective.”
Cook hopes to go back and mentor the contestants. “If they’ll have me,” he joked.
We’re sure they’d welcome David back any time! Check out our EXCLUSIVE coverage with Cook at the 6th annual Pink Party below.

This is David Cook’s first-ever solo tour, and he’ll be promoting his self-titled album. He says, "I'm more than excited to hop on the road and support this record. This tour represents both a new beginning and a return to form for me."
The Declaration Tour will kick off February 13th in Tallahassee, Florida and go all across the nation in both major venues and various college campuses.
Cook says, "We're all ready to pour whatever blood, sweat, and tears that we can muster into making this show, and every show from here on out, an experience. Part of that experience is bringing back this college tour idea. There’s something inherently nostalgic about playing college shows. So many amazing acts used to do it, so it’s nice to be able to bring that ideal back, in some small way. Besides, touring on a bus beats what we used to do, which was cram five guys into a seven-passenger van for one show, 13 hours away."
Well, guess getting your own bus means you’ve finally made it! Just a thought, if both Davids are touring at the same time, why couldn’t they just do it together? We know they’re both totally different genres, but we loved seeing them perform together on American Idol!
