NEW YORK, May 28 -- American Idol winner David Cook has

recording his debut album which is due for release in Fall 2008.
"David Cook is an extraordinarily versatile and talented artist with an
impressive sense of musicality," says Tom Corson, Executive Vice President
and General Manager, RCA Music Group. "He is a natural performer and a true
star. We are thrilled to welcome him into our family."
Cook, who's first single, "The Time Of My Life" skyrocketed to #1 on
iTunes, will be recording his album over the summer while on the road with
the American Idol's Live tour. The tour kicks off on July 1st in Glendale,
AZ and wraps on September 13th in Tulsa, OK.
"The Time Of My Life" has sold 236,024 digital tracks in 4 days, making
it the best single debut of an American Idol since season two.
Additionally, Cook currently has 17 tracks on the Top 100 Digital Songs
Chart, the most ever by any artist.
"The Time Of My Life" is blowing up at radio, coming in as the #1 most
added at Hot AC and AC radio right out of the box and #2 most added at Top
40 radio, pulling in over 6 million listeners in less than a week without
an official launch. Additionally, it was the biggest single premiere on
AOL's PopEater site this year, garnering over 1 million streams in 24

"I am extremely happy to be signed by 19 Recordings / RCA Records.
Signing this deal is truly a dream come true. I am looking forward to the
recording process and creating a record. The support I have received from
America has been overwhelming and I can't wait to hopefully do right by
them," says David Cook.
25 year old David Cook hails from Blue Springs, Missouri where he
discovered his singing skills while in the 2nd grade. Before his American
Idol victory, Cook independently released an album "Analog Heart" which
earned him an URBY nomination for "Indie Album of the Year." Cook also
belonged to two bands, Midwest Kings and Axium.
"David Cook is a remarkable talent and is a worthy winner of American
Idol," says Simon Fuller, creator of the popular TV series and chief
executive and founder of 19 Entertainment Label Group, "he has an
astonishing voice, and is capable of truly memorable performances as he
showed throughout the season. He's mature, well grounded and knows what he
wants. It's this quiet determination that sets him apart from other
singers; I honestly believe that David has the potential to go on to become
one of the most successful Idols of all time."

Amy Winehouse - Winehouses Aunt Calls For Press To Back Off
Amy Winehouse's aunt has called on the press to leave the troubled singer alone.
The family member, referring to herself only as Sue, rang in to the BBC Five Live radio station during a debate on drug use in which Winehouse was used as an example.
"Please let her finish her rehabilitation - let her try to get off the stuff and then we'll have the Amy we all want," Sue said on the Phil Williams's show.
"We're just trying to carry on our lives, if possible."
The aunt expressed her anger at the way the press continually use the 24-year-old singer as an example in discussions regarding drug use.
"You keep bring up that she's a teenage icon and what example is she setting. She's setting no example. She didn't want to be an example - all she wants to be is a singer and a songwriter.
"There are thousands of families going through the same tragic situation as us all over England and they're allowed to get on it quietly - and this is all we ask for Amy.
"Amy has the press knocking on her door at two o'clock, three o'clock in the morning and some of the photos of Amy at her worst is when she's had no sleep and gone downstairs to say 'leave me alone, shut up, I want to go to sleep'," she added.
Police confirmed yesterday that Winehouse would not face charges over video footage allegedly showing the singer using a crack cocaine pipe.
The 24-year-old has had a number of brushes with the law recently and Sue claimed: "Sometimes in our heart of hearts - and this is going to sound ever so bad - we wish she would be incarcerated and maybe that would help get her off the drugs."
