" James Durbin has said that he wants to write every song on his next album.  The &amp;#039;Love Me Bad&amp;#039; singer, who released debut record Memories of a Beautiful Disaster last year, told OK that he wants to be fully involved in creating every track on his second album.  Durbin said: &amp;quot;The next album, I want to write all myself. I want to be a collaborator on every single song. I want to be writing songs with my band. We want to play music that we love to play every single night.&amp;quot;  He continued: &amp;quot;We love the music that we&amp;#039;re playing now, but we didn&amp;#039;t write it all. You don&amp;#039;t get that complete satisfaction when you don&amp;#039;t write all the songs. &amp;quot;I was on the Idol tour so I didn&amp;#039;t get to write all the songs. There are other songs. That material isn&amp;#039;t in vain. We are still going to use it.&amp;quot; Durbin also told the magazine that he would love to release a double album or release an EP in the summer.  &amp;quot;Just keep having music come out,&amp;quot; he added. &amp;quot;I think that the brilliance of being an artist is that you&amp;#039;re in control of your own destiny. It&amp;#039;s what you do that makes you who you are.&amp;quot; Durbin appeared on the tenth season of American Idol last year, which was won by country singer Scotty McCreery. The show&amp;#039;s 11th season premieres tonight (January 18) on Fox.  Aside from Durbin and McCreery, five other season ten finalists have landed record deals: Pia Toscano, Haley Reinhart, Stefano Langone, Casey Abrams and runner-up Lauren Alaina.  Durbin married girlfriend Heidi Lowe in a ceremony in Santa Cruz, California on December 31. Former American Idol co-stars including Abrams, Langone and Reinhart were among the guests in attendance. He is currently gearing up to release the video for second single &amp;#039;Stand Up&amp;#039;, which debuts January 24.
