Since she was discovered by Oprah’s producers via YouTube in 2007, young pop sensation Charice has clearly been on the fast track to fame.
Not only is Oprah a fan, she called her one of the most talented girls in the world!
Charice just debuted her music video for “Pyramid” on Oprah.com. Watch the video below.
“Pyramid (feat. Iyaz)” is the first single from Charice’s self-titled debut album, set to hit stores on May 11th. The song is currently burning up the pop radio charts, with remixes of the song getting spun by DJs across the country. Grab the track now on iTunes and be sure to visit ChariceSings.com for more information. To pre-order Charice’s album, visit iTunes.
A bright new star is set to invade the pop music scene – 17-year-old Charice, discovered on YouTube in 2007.
Charice may look like any other pretty teenager: stylish, confident, petite and filled with non-stop energy. But when she opens her mouth to sing with a profound, rich and soaring 10 decibel voice from every inch of her 5 feet 1 inch body the audience quite literally gasps.
And at 13 million hits and counting on YouTube, it appears that audience is growing at a staggering pace.
Already a sensation in her native Philippines, Charice’s self-titled US debut CD is scheduled to be released on May 11th via 143/Reprise Records – the day after her 18th birthday! Her first single, Pyramid features labelmate Iyaz (who recently spent four weeks at #1 with his smash hit, Replay) and is already making waves on Top 40 radio. Listen to the song here, and follow Charice’s journey thus far by checking out “Charice: A Star is Born” on her YouTube channel.
So, there have been a serious drought in updates lately, right? Right. My only reason is this: The music world has been kind of boring me lately! Sorry, but there you have it.
I’d made a pact with myself that I wouldn’t post another entry until something (or someone) came along that made me glad I had a music blog in the first place.
Thank you Carly Smithson. Thank you We Are the Fallen. Carly wasn’t only one of my all-time favorite Idols ever, she was one of the best singers and biggest talents the show ever saw. Yet they never even registered that fact. This girl, with vocals that take your breath away was subjected to ridiculous treatment when she was on Idol. She had to stand there and take fashion advice from Simon. Fashion advice! She’s in good company, though – Jennifer Hudson also was treated to Simon Cowell fashion advice while on the show. Like Jennifer, I think Carly’s going to be okay.
Lovely Carly and former members of Evanescence have come together to create We Are the Fallen and have snapped me out of my Music Blog doldrums. They’ve released a remastered version of their debut single, ‘Bury Me Alive.’ This outstanding video was conceived by director Kyle Newman and his actress wife Jamie King (who stars in the video).
Using the stages of a burial as a metaphor, the Bury Me Alive video tells the story of a relationship ending after being sold-out or disillusioned.
We Are the Fallen will release their debut, ‘Tear the World Down,’ May 11 in America via Universal Republic. The band will hit the road with HIM later this month for 28 dates. That tour kicks off March 26 in Philadelphia.
Here’s a cool, lovely illustration of how music can impact everything in life – especially a romantic wedding. This lovely couple has a long, happy, and fun life in front of them. And a wedding day video that’ll bring a smile to their faces every time they watch it.
