David Archuleta is back with his most sensual and vibrant music yet. Today, the acclaimed singer-songwriter releases “Dulce Amor,” the third single from his upcoming EP Earthly Delights, which arrives this Friday, Aug. 15. The new track continues Archuleta’s exploration of love and self-discovery with a playful mix of English and Spanish lyrics wrapped in shimmering pop production.
Following the success of his global hit “Crème Brûlée” and its remix, as well as the tender single “Can I Call You,” “Dulce Amor” ramps up the energy with its catchy hook and smooth, dynamic vocals. Archuleta describes the song as “that kind of love that just makes life sweeter. It’s romantic, it’s physical, it’s emotional. It’s truly indulgent and leaves you wanting more. I wanted to capture the full flavor of that.”
The single marks a bold step in the evolution of Earthly Delights, Archuleta’s first new music in more than five years. The EP embraces themes of sensuality, vulnerability, and personal freedom with a confident yet tender approach. “I’m in my indulgence mode when it comes to giving into my sensuality,” Archuleta shared. “There’s something sweet about being naughty. And it’s actually helped me get in touch with more tender, vulnerable parts of myself.”
Archuleta’s reflections also touch on deeper personal growth and healing. Raised in a conservative environment, the singer reveals how his journey of embracing his queer identity has led him to question old beliefs and fears around sexuality. “Earthly Delights is taking in the pleasures of what I always thought would keep me out of heaven,” he said. “Here’s to a big F you to my old fears and embracing the sensual side and ‘earthly delights’ of how good and rich it feels. It really is the source to life.”
The Earthly Delights EP, produced by a team including Irvin Rivera, showcases Archuleta’s ability to blend genres like pop, Latin rhythms, and smooth balladry. The tracklist includes:
- Give You The World
- Crème Brûlée
- Can I Call You
- Lucky
- Home
- Dulce Amor
