's "20 Fall Albums We Can't Wait to Hear."

David Archuleta had a clear idea of the direction he wanted to head in for his debut effort even just after being voted off the show. As Realitytvworld.com reports: "I'd love to still do the pop thing," he told reporters. "I'm still a teenager. On the show, I was getting a little mature with my songs -- even though I love to do that stuff. But I still want to be able to relate to kids my age. I like pop music but I still want to have meaning in my music. So I could do some fun stuff along with songs that have more meaning in them."

As reported on E! Online, David definitely knows what works and what doesn't, and he's taking cues from some of the best in the industry, including Miley Cyrus. David "recently met with Rock Mafia producers Antonina Armato and Tim James, who cowrote and coproduced eight of the tracks on Cyrus' latest album, Breakout. They have also worked with Mariah Carey, Vanessa Hudgens and Aly & AJ." David and his father reportedly said they want a "Miley touch" to the album.
