INFINITY”—The New Album, With Infinite Possibilities

Charice has taken the local and international charts and the world by storm with the release of her first and certified smash-hit single “Pyramid” featuring Iyaz, off her first self-titled international debut and certified platinum album under Warner Bros. Records in 2010. In the same year, “Pyramid” reached the No. 1 spot on Billboard Dance/Club Charts and Charice also became the only Asian artist to have an album debut at #8 on the US Billboard Top 200.

After all the success she’s been receiving in the past few years, as if touring the world with the 15-time Grammy winner, singer-songwriter & producer David Foster, appearing on Glee (the smash-hit US TV musical-drama-comedy series) and acting in her second Hollywood movie’Here Comes The Boom’ with Salma HayekKevin James next year aren’t enough!  This year,Charice is back with a HOT NEW 2nd album—INFINITY still under Warner Bros. Records distributed locally by Warner Music Philippines. Japan and SEA are first territories to release in the world.  With Japan releasing last October 5th and followed by an October 24th Philippine release. Japan has shipped over 54,000 units of “Infinity” album and is currently their #1 English selling album in Japan. Also, collectively over 200,000 copies of her first album across Asia were sold since release.

The tiny stature and the big-voiced Charice, also takes a sassier tack on “Louder,” the second single from Infinity. She explores her dance-diva side in the music video which is currently peaking in the MYX daily countdown chart. Directed by Tim Cruz and choreographed by Gil Duldulao the man behind the moves in Jennifer Lopez’s “Waiting for Tonight,” Janet Jackson’s“Together Again,” and Christina Aguilera’s “Drrrty” and “Genie in a Bottle,” among others.

Moreover Infinity expresses Charice’s carving her place in the international pop music industry, as it features collaborations with big-time and distinguished producers and writers like Bruno Mars for the song “Before It Explodes,” Jason DeruloKara Dioguardi for “Lesson For Life,” JoJo for “Heartbreak Survivor,” Natasha Bedingfield for “Lighthouse”Nick Jonas from the Jonas Brothers for “One Day.” These musicians definitely helped in building Charice’s sophomore album.

As Charice would always say, “We are what we imagine ourselves to be… ” Just like her new album Infinity, infinite possibilities are still to come her way.

Charice Is Absolutely At The Top Baby! 0

Charice is definitely going global after the release of her single “Pyramid” in which her labelmate Iyaz is featured both in the song and music video. And just last April 12 Charice debuted “Pyramid” music video in the U.S. with a 24-hour exclusive on www.oprah.com. Oprah who has been a huge supporter of the 17-year-old, tagging her as one of the most talented girls in the world, has  reportedly invited Charice  to perform on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” on May 11 to launch her first international album ‘Charice’.
The video was shot at the Orpheum Theatre, in downtown Los Angeles last March 8. The video connects the song through its lyrics not just the title per se. A big part of the video shows Charice taking the mic and starts imagining to be performing before a huge empty theater, after not making it to the audition call-backs. And Iyaz from the audience seat records her performance using his video phone and shows that his support for Charice is forever to stay just like a pyramid no matter what kind of storm or earthquake may come their way.
“Pyramid” is a collaboration with Iyaz, who’s famous for the international smash hit “Replay”—the # 1 song in UK & U.S. in the past months. On the other hand, “Pyramid” currently holds the #1 spot on RX 93.1’s radio chart for three consecutive weeks now. And is constantly climbing other radio charts in the metro. “Pyramid” is one of the newest and hottest songs at the moment; hence it is garnering a lot of airplay all over town! She’s undeniably at the top with all the success she has incurred for the past years, starting from bottom-up, this song can symbolize as her career being built solidly on the ground, just like a pyramid.
Also, Pyramid now has 15 remixes— from notable DJs Barry Harris, Jonathan Peters, and Dave Aude. These are currently available for download on Amazon.com & iTunes.
Songwriters and producers that worked on Charice’s forthcoming album are David Foster, Diane Warren, Sean Kingston, Billy Steinberg (Madonna’s “Like A Virgin,” Cyndi Lauper’s “True Colors,” Whitney Houston’s “So Emotional”), Josh Alexander (Jojo’s “Too Little Too Late”), Allan Rich (N’SYNC’s “I Drive Myself Crazy”), Klaus Derendorf (Josh Groban’s “Closer”), Mr. Fantastic (The Cheetah Girls) and Drew Ryan Scott (S. Korean GroupSuper Junior’s “Sorry, Sorry”). Backed up by the biggest names in music, entertainment, label industry Charice definitely is in for a big ride with her first international debut album. Without a doubt, this record is packed with hits in the making!
Charice’s international debut album will become available under Warner Music Philippines on May 11, 2010 just a day after her 18th birthday. A way to celebrate with her is to grab a copy of her self-titled first international album when it hits the record bars nationwide! But for now, you can enjoy “Pyramid” on your mobile by texting PYRAMID to 5677. Watch out for the premiere of her official video for “Pyramid” on your favorite local music channel this week!
