Allison Iraheta exclusive: We reveal songwriting and production credits for her debut album!

allison-iraheta_lThe track list for Allison Iraheta’s Just Like You may have leaked at Walmart.com earlier this week, but a source at The Rocker’s label was awesome enough to give EW.com some exclusive scoop on the songwriting and production credits for the album. Without any further ado, chew on this, Idoloonies! Me? I’m gonna go find someone to slap me upside the head to help me deal with my surplus of fanboyish excitement.

  • Hannah

    I WANT PREVIEWS.

  • Steph

    yes, yes, yes!!!! i am so excited for this album it is unreal.

  • Maria

    Anything called “Robot Love” has my vote.

  • Allie

    go allison! can’t wait!

  • Kat

    Very happy to see her name on the writing credits on the last song. Can’t wait for this album, so excited for Allison.

  • kristina

    wait, isn’t Alecia Moore= Pink?

    Yay!

  • BC

    the Aimee Proal song is really beautifull, heard the demo

    and also No One Else written by Alecia Moore, known as P!nk – Allison must be really happy, from a teenager admiring P!nk to a singer singin a song written by her within just few months! :D

  • Cinn

    Yay! You are back, sigh!
    Go ALLY!

  • louie

    I can’t wait for this!!!! Hopefully we get some sweet ballads:)

  • Jennifer

    Im so excited, she has a lot of the same producers and writers that kelly clarkson works with which should be awesome, with the exception of david hodges who can suck it

    • T

      Definitely agreed on the David Hodges comment… um, pretty sure Kelly said “Never Again” to working with him!!

    • Preston

      Hodges is not as good as Greg Wells, John Shanks, Howard Benson and others who can do these rock songs with pop textures so very well. He doesn’t grab me with his sound for artists.

  • BlackSunshine

    Jizz in my pants

  • BlackSunshine

    OMG PINK!?!??!?!?!?!

  • nina.t

    Few days of and than woops Allison first. Well, that’s why I loooove Michael Slezak.Can’t wait till Dec 1th

  • Frank Anderson

    I hope the rest of this album is better than ‘Friday.’ I don’t like that song one bit.

    Fingers crossed!

    • Jordan

      Exactly! I love Allison but I was very disappointed in that song.

  • Mari

    Oh! Alicia Moore…that is Pink’s name, how exciting for Allison. She said this one was one of her favorite songs from the album, along with Holiday.

    This all looks very promising, I can’t wait!

  • nina.t

    Woooops i made a mizzzztake. Michael Slezak luve Alizzzzon thatzzzwhy i luv thizzz guy.

  • Shamrock

    Who?

  • GK

    ‘d is for dangerous’?
    ‘robot love’?
    ‘don’t waste the pretty’?
    oy very.

  • Nat

    I am so excited for this, but I am a little disappointed that she didn’t contribute more to the writing. It’s fair enough, she’s young, it’s her debut, she may not be that musically literate yet…I’m just hoping in the future she’ll have more of her own songs.
    But yay, rocker album!

    • Preston

      I would have like Allison to have some more songs that she wrote for the album, but maybe they didn’t make the final cut. I think she’s going with the big names first album then write more songs the second album. Sometimes, when you’re on a major record label, you don’t have that much input or creative control.

  • willy4alli

    Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy, I can’t wait…I bought FIBOU yesterday on itunes. This album is gonna be sick. The snippets, the video, the album…OMG…dying of anticipation. Goin’ crazy rite now.

  • myself

    max martin? what a sell-out.

    • Preston

      I don’t see Max Martin as a sellout. He’s made some great records for artists. Even though his songs have been all over the place the past 10 years, he makes solid melodic rock and pop songs.

  • Mari

    Right, because Pink is also a sell out that records a lot of stuff with him. There’s nothing wrong with Max Martin.

  • graeme

    do people really care?

  • RockMuse

    Holiday is one heck of a True-Rock song. The length is the same, so the arrangement might be too. Dilana Smith’s version is on Amazon downloads. She’s had a difficult time landing a label. Allison got us a bit worried that the whole album is like FIBOU.

  • Antonio

    I can’t wait to get my albom on dicember yessss go Allison YOU ROCKKK

  • Shana

    awww she helped write the last one! yay!!!!

  • McCoy

    Sounds like a bunch of studio hacks writing songs for her. Not a good sign I fear

  • Mari

    Having a bunch of big names writing and producing for her is a bad sign? Ok then.

    • Sean

      Yes, because it will be the same old crap that everyone else is recording – nothing original or different.

      • Suzette

        Truthfully that is part of the reason I am not that excited about Adam’s CD – it just sounds like the same ol same ol that everyone else is recording. I get that they have to go with what the label wants at first until they are established but I just wish they could try to create their own sound out the gate rather than having to sound like everyone else.

      • Preston

        Maybe people like the same kinds of producers’ songs for artists. That familiarity sticks. I’m all for it, but only if the songs match with the singing style of the artist and not sounding like another singer or sound.

      • Matt

        Suzette oh how wrong you are about Adam. His CD is nothing like anything that is out there. Noway you can say that and be truthful. I mean his CD has so many different genres on there…….noone has done that all on one album……

  • Angieallis

    Yesss, finally its here. Max Martin, kara, Rudolf. Alecia Moore, and many more, wow, Alli has to be really prepared, and am sure her album is gonna be owesome, yes
