Christina Grimmie's debut LP comes out tonight at midnight! She's of YouTube fame and toured with Selena Gomez on the "We Own the Night Tour" and is joining her once again on the "Stars Dance Tour" this summer. She released an EP titled Find Me in 2011 featuring the singles "Advice" (co-written with Selena) and "Liar Liar" (which she performed incredibly on Ellen).  1. "Over Overthinking You" 2. "Absolutely Final Goodbye" 3. "Make It Work" 4. "Get Yourself Together" 5. "With Love" 6. "Tell My Mama" 7. "Feeling Good" 8. "The One I Crave" 9. "I Bet You Don't Curse God" 10. "Think of You" 11. "My Anthem" Her voice is amazing (despite that hair  ). Youtube channel with all of her covers: www.youtube.com/user/zeldaxlove64Music video for "Advice" from Find Me: Belting out "Liar Liar" on Ellen: |

Listened to the previews on iTunes and thoroughly impressed. Just started listening to the album in full right now. I'm really loving her vocals and the songs are very catchy and nice as well.
On iTunes
507. Christina Grimmie - With Love [song]
14. Christina Grimmie - With Love [album]
Edit:
Wow, this is a really cohesive and truly good album. I love the throwback feel of many of the tracks. She is also able to carry a ballad really well! Her vocals at time have a tinge of Christina Aguilera in them, but it's very faint. Instant standouts from the first runthrough of the album are "Absolutely Final Goodbye," "With Love," "Feelin' Good," "I Bet You Don't Curse God," and "My Anthem."

^I'm on my second listen today and I'm in love with this album. Her vocals are absolutely stellar. It's a shame she's not on a label so I wonder if we'll even see a single release. Is "With Love" the first single?
I love the throwback vibe too. That plus her vocals remind me a bit of Back to Basics (and that's a good thing). And yes her ballads are realllllly strong even if there are only a few on the album.
Anyways, my favorites so far are "Get Yourself Together", "Tell My Mama", "With Love", "Over Overthinking You" & "My Anthem." The only one that actually has potential on radio though is "Over Overthinking You."

I never really understood the (youtube) hype around this girl. Her voice just kind of annoys me: it's whiny and forced. None of her covers were particularly notable, and her original music is even less notable ("Ugly" is a bop though).
Perhaps she's improved on all fronts since I last listened to her. I may check this out for curiosity's sake.

I may check this out for curiosity's sake. We may not have the saaame taste in music, but With Love is miles better than Find Me for me. I loved Find Me, but With Love is much more mature and showcases her voice in a better way (especially her belts). Her voice really wasn't that well suited for the songs on Find Me (though the live version of "Liar Liar" is incredible). And while still catchy, it's not nearly as overproduced as I think the debut EP. Agreed about "Ugly" though. :) |

"I Bet You Don't Curse God" is quickly becoming my favorite. My gosh, it's soooo good!

^Her vocals are just so good on that song, just like they are on "With Love", another favorite of mine. In news, the first single seems to be "Tell My Mama", which she performed for Seventeen here. |

Couldn't beileve she was on "The Voice". She already has a few albums/EPs and been on two tours with Selena Gomez.I think with her supporters she could win this.

Shes was very popular on YouTube at one stage, with 2 mil subs, but it seems she doesn't pull in the views like she once did. its just that people don't generally unsub from someone they just ignore their videos, so she isn't really that popular anymore. an average video she uploads now get about 90,000 views. |

I feel like she must have had an opportunity to sign with a major label in the past, so it's interesting that this is the way she decided to try and actually break into the mainstream.
Also, anyone who's only heard her sing on The Voice really should go and check out Find Me and With Love. They both contain really solid pop songs.

Glad to see she's still doing well! All I care about tbh is her getting on a good label after the show and doing a proper album with actual singles.

I would love to see her win just because. I have no clue how the other three contestants compare to her, but anything to give her promo and let her take off. I still jam to With Love. Also, I just discovered she shot a low-budget video for "Feelin' Good" recently!
One of my favorites from the album! Definitely going to start charting it.

She's signed with Island and her new single, Must Be Love" is approaching the top 100 on iPad.

It's a pretty blah first single (maybe one of my least favorite songs of hers? ) oh well. Also, probably time for a new thread. |

Heavy on the unless.
