Chasters all over the world would surely fast-forward time if they could. With only 5 days left before Charice’s newest song Before It Explodesis released, everyone’s excitement is heightened with each passing day.
Just a couple of days after Bruno Mars revealed in an interview that he worked with Charice on a new song, a download page was put up at Amazon.com. Details revealed there included a release date of April 18, 2011, a song length of 4 minutes and the song artwork.
The song artwork shows an older-looking Charice compared to her debut album cover. Wearing a black leather jacket and a black fedora really toughens up Charice’s look, perfect for a song with the word “explode” in its title.
Also featured on the Amazon.com page is a 30 second preview of “Before It Explodes“. Compared to the demos of Bruno Mars and Alexandra Burke, Charice’s version sounds much more current. It certainly matches her effort to reach out to a younger audience, but still showcases her amazing vocal range and power.
We would encourage you to pre-order the song at Amazon.com but sadly, there’s no option for that. We’ll just have to wait for April 18 to make “Before It Explodes” top the download charts. No official word is out yet if Charice’s label will release the song on iTunes or other online stores. Most probably they will do that but at a later date.
Now that “Before It Explodes” will be released, we now know one song appearing in Charice’s sophomore album. Despite previous collaborations that hinted at up-tempo songs dominating the album, it’s good to know that there are still powerful mid-tempo numbers that Charice is famous for. With this kind of variety, Charice’s second album will definitely appeal to a wide range of people.
Charice is starting to make more and more noise about her second album. The same day release of “Before It Explodes” and her Glee comeback is a brilliant strategy. Come April 19, the web will certainly be flooded with discussions about Charice. And remember that “Before It Explodes“ is just an appetizer for her new album. Here’s a piece of news that will excite you even more: expect Charice’s sophomore album to be released this May 2011.

Don’t mind jackie evancho. The best she’ll ever be is like katherine jenkins who is not that popular in mainstream music. Remember charlotte church? She eventually converted to pop at her teens because opera doesnt sell well. But pop didnt work for her in the end either…

@MegaEwolf, Jackie Evancho burst onto the scene as an 8-year old opera singing prodigy on America’s Got Talent… the power of those reality shows cannot be denied. She appeared with Charice and other stars on the televised Rockefeller Center Christmas Special. DF met her when she joined that singing contest during the DFF concert tour and won the opportunity to perform on stage. Then they released a Christmas EP that got certified Platinum (million copies sold). She’s 10 now and releasing another CD. She’s cute as a button and there’s an audience of 60 million senior citizens who love her opera style, a completely different market than what Charice is going after. Charice would wish her all the success in the world. Again, no need to compare.
Frankly I’m more concerned that DF is not giving the same attention to Charice than in the past and perhaps doesn’t have the connections in the RnB/Pop market to get Charice the proper exposure on radio, TV guestings, and such. It would be a little awkward for him to book Charice and Jackie on the same fundraising gala circuit – he can’t introduce both of them as “the most amazing voice I’ve ever heard.” Anyway, DF’s prime was over 20 years ago and he jokingly said once that he felt like the Hitman special was “a living eulogy” lol. Josh Groban’s latest CD was not produced by DF this time around, and DF is the guy who mentored him. Maybe it’s also time for Charice to consider another label when her contract expires. Sorry, I know DF is popular here, but that’s my opinion. Like you said @palaginghuli, Charice has two singles coming out and not a whole lot of promotion going on about it except by chasters.
Chasters’ strength has been enough to propel her to #8 on her debut CD, we gotta keep going! I’m not looking for her to beat Lady Gaga though, that’s just a bit unrealistic lol. If she can break the Hot 100, that’d be an awesome feat. Buying party at Charicemania next Tuesday!!!
It’d be great if someone like Jimmy Iovine at Interscope Records could handle Charice. He’s the guy who could probably get Charice a guest appearance on American Idol. He’s a mentor on the show every week (the guy with the baseball cap) and represents a lot of hip talent including Black Eyed Peas, Lady Gaga and Eminem. He’s the guy with the right connections TODAY, not 20 years ago. It’d be a business decision. Katy Perry had to change record labels 3 times before she hit her stride and became the megastar that she is today. It’s still early in Charice’s career. I just hope she continues to make the right choices in her future projects… a misstep is hard to recover from. But it’s lookin’ pretty good so far.

However, I don’t think she is the type of person who would make that decision on her own. I don’t know her except through YT, but she seems like the super loyal type. DF would need to initiate any break from his label. If that were to happen, I would hope he would still have a place in her life and career as one of her guiding lights through the rough and tumble world of entertainment.

I hear you Eve. That is why for my own sanity, I stopped commenting and reading comments for sometime now in all the social networking outlets. They are all the same anyway, pros and cons, nitpicking, yada-yada-yada. I just go to CM and other sites featuring Charice, read the articles, and leave. I just listen to Charice whenever and wherever, and buy her songs on Itunes and Amazon. I decided to leave the “experts” to battle it out with each other till they knock themselves out silly.
I guess I broke my own rule. I just couldn’t help but comment when I read your entry.
See you at the top, Eve!

Let Charice enjoy her moment without the stress of being second-guessed. it’s so disturbing and frustrating to me to see chasters nitpick about everything and the effect this might have on Charice. Stop making comparisons to demos that were unethically leaked on youtube! I should take my own advice to Charice to not read the blogs and youtube comments. I need to take a break or I’ll just scream.
