Her vocals are nice and strong! Like it, but not necessarily as a lead single, so I hope that it’s not going to be the 1st single.

The Wet Seal, Inc. (NASDAQ:WTSLA), 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. » Read the rest of the entry..
When artists do acoustic or “uplugged” sets, they automatically become credible to me. They don’t need the autotune, pro-tools, or backing track to sing there song. That’s when they become vocalists to me and not just entertainers. Kristinia DeBarge does a wonderful job on “Sabotage” in this video!
As part of the join campaign with GIANT Magazine and Baby Phat, Kristinia DeBarge will perform at a Finish Line store in Chicago, IL on September 10.
Famous for launching the most outstanding and innovative marketing campaigns, Baby Phat by Kimora Lee Simmons, in collaboration with GIANT Magazine, presents the “Sole Series” Campaign! GIANT and Baby Phat have embarked on a unique multi-media program that will engage the audience by integrating readers’ experience with Baby Phat through print, digital, special event and mobile initiatives. Performing live at Finish Line for part two of the Sole Series in-store tour is hot new pop singer, Kristinia DeBarge. DeBarge’s performance will be held outside the Finish Line store at the North Riverside Park Mall in Chicago, IL at 5pm on September 10, 2009. Fans will have the opportunity to hear songs from her newly released album, Exposed, in stores now.
To gain access to this event customers are encouraged to make a Baby Phat purchase in participating Finish Line Chicago locations between now and Thursday, September 10th to receive a VIP Access Card. This card garners access to a private meet & greet with Kristinia DeBarge inside Finish Line and VIP seating during her live performance! Other featured artists for the “Sole Series” program include: sizzling new girl group, Elecktrik Red, singer/songwriter Priscilla Renea and contemporary R&B singer Dondria Nicole.
Kristinia DeBarge’s debut album, Exposed, debuted on the Billboard 200 album charts in the #23 position after moving 16,000 copies. I think that’s a respectable entry position considering the only recent TV promo was the Wendy Williams Show and The View. SYTYCD performance was great, but would have been better had she performed last week instead of a month ago.
Also, since “Goodbye” peaked a while ago, that didn’t help much either. Although the track did rebound to #59 on the Hot 100 chart.
For some additional press, read a new interview with CNN.
Her debut album has only been in stores for a week, but Kristinia DeBarge can already call herself a VMA nominee.
Nominations for the 2009 show, set for September 13 in NYC, were announced today and Miss DeBarge got a nod in the “Best Choreography” category. I must say that I do enjoy the choreography for “Goodbye” even though she doesn’t do as much of it anymore in her performances. Her competition for the Moon Man are Beyoncé, Panic! At The Disco, Ciara and Justin Timberlake, and the Pussycat Dolls.
In any case, congrats to Kristinia, and don’t forget to watch the MTV Video Music Awards, hosted by Russell Brand, live on September 13 @ 9PM.

It looks like the videos I take with my iPhone. Quality isn’t the greastest, but it’s better than nothing!
