YouTube cover artists Karmin (Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan) are releasing their debut album of original material, including singles "Crash Your Party" and "Brokenhearted." Hello will be released on April 24 May 8 on Epic Records. The album also includes a title track (not a Lionel Richie cover) and "I Told You So," a song that they performed on SNL a few weeks ago. I just read an interview in which Nick (a trained trombonist) said "there's actually trombone all over the album." asdfdfdfdghgkl yesss

I'm not gonna lie, I like their songs and they're catchy and all, but those gestures she does in all her performances are a little bit annoying.

Yeah I'm definitely on board with this...love the first two singles. I'll likely be picking up a copy of the full-length.

I'm excited for this album - I'm obsessed with Brokenhearted and grew to enjoy Crash Your Party. I hope the album is just as good.

I really enjoyed seeing them live last Friday at a local club. I don't know if they'll catch out as a pop act, but I really find Amy Heidemann to be an intriguing talent compared to many of the ladies pop radio is embracing. I wish them the best of luck.

Wait...is this just an EP? =___= FMQB and Amazon both show it as an EP (but Amazon has the price as $11.39, which seems really high for an EP).

Disappointing that this is just an EP. Lame. I hate this new trend of releasing EPs and waiting even longer to release full-length records.

It makes sense though. How many people are really going to go out and spend $12 on a Karmin album?

What the f**k?! And CYP isn't even up there. >:( It makes sense though. How many people are really going to go out and spend $12 on a Karmin album? I would have.

I was looking forward to a full-length album (and would have paid the $20 for it), but I don't really mind that it's just an EP. I do prefer shorter records to longer ones, the shorter ones usually are more consistent. It is a shame that "Crash Your Party" was excluded from the final track listing, though; I still love that song. What I fear most is that just being an EP will lower the chances of it being released here in Australia, especially physically.

The EP is available for pre-order on iTunes for $6.99. You can hear previews there too. Here's the tracklisting:
01. "Walkin' on the Moon" 02. "Brokenhearted" 03. "I Told You So" 04. "Too Many Fish 05. "I'm Just Sayin'" 06. "Coming Up Soon" 07. "Hello" 08. "Brokenhearted (Mixin Marc & Tony Svedja Club Remix)"
"I Told You So" is slated to be the next single, and they shot a video last week.
Sounds like a very solid Pop record. If "Brokenhearted" picks back up and goes to Top 10 at Pop, I could see them having multiple hit singles after. "Too Many Fish" is the standout for me.
Releasing an EP is a great idea IMO, and it's becoming more normal, especially since these newer artists have a problem with shifting units. I'm sure if this one sells a certain amount, then they'll soon be following it up with another full-length album (which could very well be 10 tracks, similar to Justin Bieber's "My World"/"My World 2.0"). It looks like The Wanted are doing the same thing.
Some upcoming performances:
5/8 Good Morning America 5/9 Live with Kelly 5/14 The Tonight Show with Jay Leno

Wow! "I Told You So," "Too Many Fish" and "Hello" sound fresh. They have made me even more excited. I only knew them from "Brokenhearted" (never heard "Crash Your Party," oops), and now I'm more than ready for the whole EP.

I love it from the snippets. A nice little EP that can be played all the way through. You can hear Nick more doing the background vocals, but I'm also glad he got a song that is predominately him.

I like this! I'll have to hear it in full before buying though. "Hello" sounds like the obvious single to me. I think "I Told You So" will be released too although I don't like that one as much.

I don't know about the album, but Brokenhearted it's such amazing. Hope it could reach top 10 on Hot 100, at least.

After one quick listen, I think my favorite track (other than "Broken Hearted") is "Coming Up Strong." I love Amy's voice a lot and it's beyond obvious that heavily resting on her for most of the songs is the right choice. But Nick's voice is just perfect on that song and provides such a nice contrast to her Amy's sing/rap.
