Alrighty, I'm gonna intro abit on Kristinia's background. She's an American R&B singer, with a little dose of Pop too. Her father, James DeBarge, was a founding member of DeBarge, an R&B group in the 80s. Kristinia appeared on an American Idol spinoff, American Juniors, but did not progress into the Top 10.
Kristina broke into the US mainstream music market with her debut single "Goodbye". This song is also featured in a Nivea television ad campaign, which helps in promoting the song too.
Kristinia's debut album will be released by Sodapop Music, a new division of Island Def Jam Music. Many of the tracks were written and produced by Babyface. Her debut album is scheduled to be released on June 30th, 2009.
"Goodbye" is the debut single and was released to US iTunes on April 7, 2009 and to US pop radio on April 28th, 2009. It samples the song "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" by Steam. The song has already sold 75,000 downloads.
The song debuted at number 75 on the Billboard Hot 100 on April 30th 2009. It is currently at position 42 and position 26 on the Pop 100 chart. Pretty impressive for a newbie.
The chorus is catchy, but kinda mild. I still prefer Esmee's stuff. That's my opinion. What do you guys think?? =)
