Meh sales. :/ I wasnt expecting big things anyway with the promotion shes been doing and Sabotage being the next single. I wish it would have came out when Goodbye was the current single. Hopefully with some promo coming up, the new single, and the tour with Britney will help her.

I REALLY REALLY hope Future Love makes it as a single, its my favorite off the album next to Goodbye, Somebody, and Its Gotta Be Love I agree. Future Love is the best song on the album. I'm liking her album. It has some nice songs on it and it's better than Jordin Spark's disappointing second album imo.

Wet Seal Partners with Island Def Jam Recording Artist Kristinia DeBargeThu Oct 15, 2009 10:00am EDT The Wet Seal, Inc., a leading specialty retailer to young women, today announced a partnership with SodaPop/Island Def Jam recording artist Kristinia DeBarge. The program includes a collection of fashion pieces selected by Kristinia, online and offline marketing and events, and a national contest where one lucky winner will be flown to Los Angeles to be Kristinia's BFF for the day. The fashion pieces will include denim, jackets, dresses and tops, and will continue to evolve through the New Year and early spring season. The program is set to launch on November 19, 2009. "Kristinia is a talented, new, fresh face, and is perfect for the Wet Seal brand. She is approachable, fashionable, and sings about topics important to teens. She has a style for every occasion, and her selections reflect this," said Ed Thomas, the Company`s Chief Executive Officer. "We believe bringing on new talent with an eye for fashion is a great way to build brand exposure and our fashion assortment." In conjunction with the launch of the program, Wet Seal will also be selling Kristinia's debut album, "Exposed." The CD will be available at all Wet Seal locations nationwide and online at wetseal.com. "This isn'`t about me being a designer; it's about me loving fashion! I have shopped Wet Seal for years and am so excited to be working with the team and selecting fashion items I think today`s young girls would love to wear. Not only is my fan base the Wet Seal customer, I am too," said Kristinia DeBarge. Kristinia DeBarge's career got off to an impressive start following the release of her debut album, Exposed. Her first single, "Goodbye," was a Top 10 hit on iTunes. She has also performed on national television shows such as "So You Think You Can Dance" and "Live with Regis & Kelly." Fresh off her opening spot on the Britney Spears Circus Tour, Kristinia is now gearing up for her 3rd single, "Future Love." Written by Ryan Tedder (Jennifer Hudson, Natasha Bedingfield) the track is sure to be a hit. Kristinia also worked with Grammy Award winning artist Pitbull on the remix which is set to hit radio later this month. Kristinia will be an MTV Artist of The Week beginning October 25th.

‘Kings’ of Summer G&P Celebrates Hot Hits of June & July WASHINGTON – Sony/RCA rockers Kings of Leon earned three premiere Gold and Platinum certifications this summer, according to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA’s) June and July G&P reports. The Grammy award winning troupe took their first Platinum album award for Only By The Night (2008) and first digital single nods for “Sex On Fire” and “Use Somebody,” each certifying both Gold and Platinum. Fans rocked out to Atlantic artist Kid Rock this summer, turning Rock N Roll Jesus triple-Platinum to take June’s highest album certification. Also in June, two different acts – country musician Trace Adkins and South African rock group Seether – tied for the top single spot at Platinum (1,000,000 songs sold) for “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk” (Capitol Nashville) and “Fake It” (Wind-Up Records), respectively. Solo “King” Elvis Presley’s 30 #1 Hits (RCA Records, 2002) was the highest album certification in July at 5x Platinum (his 24th career album award). No stranger to G&P recognition, Elvis himself was awarded the first ever RIAA Gold album for “Hard Headed Woman” in 1958. Smooth singer Jason Mraz took the highest digital single certification -- 4x Platinum -- for “I’m Yours” in July. “I’m Yours” is off Mraz’s Platinum We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things (Atlantic, 2008). Close behind, Universal/Island R&B star Rihanna’s “Umbrella” poured in triple-Platinum followed by 3OH!3’s “Don’t Trust Me” and Fall Out Boy’s “Sugar, We’re Goin Down” at double-Platinum. Kudos to Sean Kingston whose digital single “Fire Burning” (Epic, 2009) continues to sizzle this summer, certified Gold in June and Platinum in July. Sean is no stranger to RIAA digital single certifications -- this is his sixth. And it’s been a golden summer for Kiwi born country rocker Keith Urban who scored three Gold single awards this June and July. Fans purchased more than 500,000 downloads of “Tonight I Wanna Cry,” “Stupid Boy” and “Sweet Thing” to up Keith’s career Gold song tally to seven. On the ringtone side, ‘fierce’ songstress Beyonce earned her 12th career Gold mastertone award for “Halo” in June. “Halo,” currently Platinum as a digital single, hails from Beyonce’s double-Platinum I Am… Sasha Fierce (Columbia, 2008). ‘Hot’ can be used to describe more than temperatures this summer; namely these sizzlin’ acts who earned inaugural G&P certifications: Alternative rock and hip hop group Flobots received its first Gold and Platinum awards for selling more than one million copies of “Handlebars” (Universal, 2008). Catch the catchy song on Fight with Tools, the Denver band's second album release. Cleveland rapper Kid Cudi also received his first Gold and Platinum nods for “Day ‘n’ Nite” (Universal, 2009). Look for Cudi’s upcoming album release Man on the Moon: The End of Day due in September. R&B singer-songwriter Kristinia Debarge said hello to her very first Gold record for “Goodbye” (Mercury, 2009) while country music trio Lady Antebellum grabbed their first Gold prize for “I Run To You” (Capitol Nashville, 2008). In June and July, the RIAA awarded a total 43 digital singles, 14 albums and 1 mastertone. All certifications are calculated by Gelfand, Rennert & Feldman. Complete lists of all album, single, mastertone and video awards can also be accessed at www.riaa.com.

InterviewKristinia DeBarge Thu, 24 Sep 2009 11:06:04 Kristinia DeBarge talks to ARTISTdirect.com editor Rick Florino about Exposed, cutting records with Babyface and why your first love always means the most... INTERVIEW: Kristinia DeBarge On her Island/Def Jam debut, Exposed, Kristinia DeBarge goes back to the future… She infuses a classic sense of soul into eclectic modern pop. Her sultry voice lights up massive melodies that take up permanent residence inside listeners' heads. There are some shower-singing pop anthems like hit singles, "Goodbye" and Sabotage," but Kristinia really shines during more contemplative cuts like "Disconnect" and "It's Gotta Be Love." The girl's got a lot to say and she's opening up… At 19-years-old, Kristinia has got a very, very bright future ahead. Before she took the stage supporting Britney Spears at the Staples Center, she sat down with ARTISTdirect.com editor Rick Florino for this exclusive interview about Exposed, working with Babyface, why the first love counts the most and showing her cards early… Would you say that you're making "futuristic" R&B?I'm a very "R&B" girl [Laughs]. I love rock music, and I love pop, but I've been doing R&B since I first started recording music at 12. When I was told that pop was a better direction for me, I was like, "If I'm going to do pop, I'm going to make sure that I'm still interpreting that soulfulness and that passion that R&B delivers." You're not off at all by saying that! So it was always important for you to have soul?Definitely, I want to make sure that people don't look at me as a bubblegum pop princess. I want to be looked at as a respectable artist that fans can appreciate and grow to really like. The songs feel connected, and the album flows seamlessly. Did you have a general theme in mind for the entire record?Yeah, I did. I wanted to make sure that the songs were relatable, and I wanted to portray everything that I had gone through in my life up to this point. I wanted to make sure that I wasn't talking about subjects that'd make people say, "Oh, how does she know about that she's only 19?" At the same, they'll see that I've definitely been through love before. Everyone has their puppy love or their first love. I want to make sure that people can understand everything that I'm saying and that it makes sense. It needed to be realistic. People in my age group, and older, can relate to the music—even guys. It doesn't have to be just for girls… Well, your first love is usually the one you remember the most.Totally! I don't know what it's going to be like 10 or 15 years from now, but I talk people in their 40s and they say, "I'll never forget my first love." They'll tell you a name, when they met—they'll probably even know the date of their prom. They talk about how after that they never really loved the way that they loved that first person ever again. It's a different kind of love. It's really interesting to hear these stories, because everyone will change and grow. Sometimes you grow to love more and sometimes you don't. Do you watch a lot of movies or read while you're writing?I just take from what I've gone through or what I'm going through at that moment. Then I work with the producer on the feeling of the song. I am a writer, and I love to write. I tell the producers what's going on in my head, what I want to write, what I think people can relate to and what I think would inspire. I don't really like watching television or listening to the radio. It's actually the opposite. I need my quiet time when I'm brainstorming about what I want to write about. "It's Gotta Be Love" and "Disconnect" stand out. What's the story behind those?I wrote "It's Gotta Be Love" at age 16 with Babyface. We did a whole album together that we worked really hard on. It didn't get released but we ended up keeping a few of the songs from that album and putting them on Exposed. The song is really about falling in love for the first time. I'd been a relationship for over a year, and I was feeling that it had to be love. I wanted to write a happy love song. It became my favorite song that I ever recorded with Babyface. I think it was because I was going through exactly everything that song was talking about. The passion and the emotion were there. My songs are meant to touch my fans, but if I'm not happy with them, what's the point? And "Disconnect?""Disconnect" is basically about a long-distance relationship. At the time, I hadn't experienced that type of relationship but I knew that I would down the road. I wasn't sure how soon it was going to be, but I knew it would really break my heart. Who likes long-distance relationships? No one. That song was really for me though. It's something that I can go back to when I am in a relationship like that. I just took from my experiences and what I had gone through in relationships and wrote from there. Babyface helped me a lot, giving me certain situations to think about. I had a boyfriend at the time, and he was like, "Have you ever experienced being away from your boyfriend for longer than a week? Tell me what you felt." We just went from there. I'm not in a relationship right now, so I can't really relate to the song, but I'm hoping I can go back to it when that time comes. The songs I did with Babyface were for me. He allowed me to have a lot of leverage, and I took advantage of that as much as I could. Why'd you call the album Exposed?I wanted to come up with a name or a sentence that best described me discovering who I am and introducing myself to the world. I feel like there are characteristics of me on this album that you see for the first time—like my anger, my passion, my sadness, my happiness and my vulnerability. You get all of these different sides of who I am and who I'm becoming. Exposed was the perfect word for this album. I was going to title it a sentence, but I decided to go with one word that best describes the record. I'm introducing myself to the world for the first time and exposing who I am on the inside rather than who I am on the outside. —Rick Florino 09.24.09

KRISTINIA DeBARGE NAMED MTV ARTIST OF THE WEEK – AS PITBULL REMIX OF NEW SINGLE “FUTURE LOVE” IS RELEASEDFOLLOW-UP TO TOP 10 iTUNES HIT “GOODBYE,” FROM DEBUT ALBUM EXPOSED, ON BABYFACE’s NEW SODAPOP MUSIC LABEL Wet Seal stores choose Teen Island star Kristinia as ‘The Face’ of new retail campaign at 420 stores, running through January (November 2, 2009 - New York, NY) 19-year old Teen Island star Kristinia DeBarge, whose debut album EXPOSED was released on July 28th – featuring her debut Top 10 iTunes hit single “Goodbye” – has been named MTV’s Artist of the Week for the week beginning Sunday, October 25th, running through Halloween. The campaign encompasses 60 hours of MTV programming over the course of the week, with Kristinia participating in several Halloween-themed skits, an acoustic performance, and a full band performance. It’s also featured on www.mtv.com. In advance of the MTV Artist of the Week kickoff, the tour video for Kristinia’s new single release “Future Love” has been posted at her websites, www.kristiniadebarge.com and www.myspace.com/kristiniadebarge. On November 3rd, the “Future Love” remix by Grammy Award-winner Pitbull will have its MySpace premiere. Also on November 3rd is the iTunes (digital) ‘45’ single release of Pitbull’s “Future Love” remix b/w the original album version as the B-side. On November 9th, the “Future Love” remix featuring Pitbull will impact at Pop and Rhythm radio formats. It will be released commercially to all digital partners the next day. (“Future Love” will also be the subject of an in-theater audio campaign running November 20th through New Year’s Eve.) Coinciding with the release of “Future Love” – while “Goodbye” continues to win major market adds from coast-to-coast – Kristinia has been chosen as the face of Wet Seal’s upcoming holiday campaign which will launch in-stores November 19th and run through January. As part of the campaign, Kristinia will appear in the holiday marketing at 420 Wet Seal stores nationwide and online at wetseal.com . She will also be heard as “Future Love”, among other tracks, has already been added to Wet Seal’s in-store music. Wet Seal will also sell the EXPOSED album and feature fashion merchandise chosen and worn by Kristinia for the campaign. In addition, Kristinia will make six in-store appearances through the holidays; locations to be announced in the coming weeks. Over the September 26-27th weekend at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Kristinia wrapped up her 20-city stint with Britney and tour-mate Ciara. “Joining Britney Spears for her Circus tour will be an amazing and surreal experience for me,” said Kristinia prior to the tour. “I have been dreaming of an opportunity like this forever, and can’t wait.” Kristinia DeBarge carries on the tradition of her father James DeBarge, keyboardist and founding member of beloved Motown ’80s group DeBarge. Kristinia first began to make headlines in April, with the release of “Goodbye.” The track was quickly licensed by Nivea as the theme song for their spring and summer network tv campaign, with 15- and 30-second spots running through July. The video shoot in Los Angeles captured the song’s sexy fun feel, and the clip was added at MTV, FUSE, and The N (Nickelodeon’s 24-hour network for teens). Kristinia, who has known Babyface since age 14, signed with Sodapop the day before she turned 19. “Goodbye” was co-produced by Babyface and The Pentagon. Babyface went on to write and produce many of the tracks on EXPOSED. www.kristiniadebarge.com

It's too bad this album is a big flop. It's actually a really great Pop album. There are so many catchy tunes on this. She needs to work on her live performances and overall confidence though.
