The cover art for Kristinia DeBarge’s debut album Exposed is out courtesy of Amazon.com. It’s listed with a July 28th street date. But a quick look at Kristinia’s Island Records discography shows the release as untitled and due July 21, 2009 instead. Amazon is usually on top of the release dates and album covers, so I take it that the album has been pushed back a week to the 28th.
After the way “Goodbye” blew up in the past month, I figured, if anything, the release date would be moved up to capitalize on the song’s popularity. But it seems Island might introduce a second single prior to the album’s release. “Goodbye” appears to have peaked in its airplay and chart positions, so it probably is ime to ship the second single. It’s pretty common nowadays, so here’s hoping that “Gotta Be Love” is as big a success as “Goodbye”. I don’t think it will be because it’s not as catchy, but it’s hard to top “Na na na na, na na na na. Hey, hey, hey…Goodbye”!

I think this will do better on R&B/Urban stations than pop this time around.
