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.

People are gonna compare the three singers versions, and I HATE the comparison.
Honestly, “A” and “B” both sing very good, and It’ll be severe for our “C”.

It’s funny that people are judging the song based on A&B full versions against Charice’s 30 sec. version and some already saying it’s not going to hit the billboard chart.

Hahaha! Love the alphabet comparison… A for Alexandra, B for Bruno, and C for Charice. LOL!
I’m not very good at this but i’ll try… Charice just twitted “Trusting a person is like picking the greatest song on Earth.” – Let’s negate this statement, if you don’t trust Charice and her team, then this song is a flop to begin with (even with just 30sec sample, we all seem to have drawn to conclusion A is better than B and B is better than C and C is better than A and so on) Can we all hold our reviews and criticism until it is released in its entirety. People will always compare her to anything and will always try to find faults whether its a brand new song or demoed song, but what we Chasters can do is support her no matter what. As we all know its not so much just about the song, it is also about who sings it… if you want to support Charice, let’s all download it on the 19th and make her trend!!

The Essence of Charice…The Singer…Not The Song
I have heard all three versions and I must say honestly that A or B did not have the same essence as C. BM knew he had a good
material but could possibly not feel the life in his own delivery of the song…same with A. This is a matter of THE SINGER NOT THE SONG question. Charice definitely have given life to this song.
There is an element in Charice that separates her from other artists no matter who and how big they are. Remember how she stood out amongst an all star line-up at the Rockefeller Plaza Christmas event in NYC. I don’t know what it is. People just have to wait for Charice to explode.

Glee has hugh power and It would be the smartest decision to release single at this time, Glee will help to promote it

WE must make CHARICE #1 the only way is to promote her single as much as you can before it comes out. Post it on facebook, twitter it or tell other people about it. Please!!!!!!!
I love this new single. I can hear it on radio all day.

People are gonna download the song because they like “the song”, not because they like or dislike the photo that goes with it. I just hope that it gets radio airplay and a cool music video to go along with it. Radio and a music video are more important to promote the song than the photo. Mostly, when people hear the song is when they’ll buy the digital download and they don’t even know what the artist looks like.

I consider myself as big of a fan as anyone, and I adore Charice. She is a huge talent and a beautiful young lady, however I have to admit that sometimes her make-up is a bit over done. It would be nice if she was made-up without changing her her naturally pretty appearance. Just my opinion…

’cause our love has never changed.
Charice!!! A May release, that is a pleasant surprise for sure, made my day. After the lull period from tour Japan, I got my seatbelts on, destination “To The Top”. Gotta stay alert, many more surprises coming up I’m sure. Charice’s superstardom is undeniable.

If you are going to criticize, at least offer solution. I think the cover is well done.

I think it was just a quick release. They weren’t planning on taking any serious shots of Charice for this single cover. Plus, the ones she took in Japan are one the best I’ve seen (and the ones she took when she did the photoshoot for NTG). btw…..MAY 2011? I hope she has at least one more single to put out before she releases her album.

i think this is just a misunderstanding among friends…of course we want the best of everything for CHARICE, however, from the point of view of WARNER/REPRISE they have a marketable product( CHARICE’s amazing voice + a catchy song)…what they are doing is that they are packaging this product to suit their major markets, US and JAPAN resp. US fans already know she is from Asia so that justifies her Asian look. Why does she look more Japanese than Chinese eventhough she’s Filipino? Well because Japan’s market is the biggest in Asia right now.I bet when the Chinese music market surpasses Japan’s CHARICE would be packaged to look more Chinese than Japanese.

A CRAB or crab syndrome is a descriptive word for haters. Australians call haters Tall Poppy Syndrome, for people that love to throw crap at talented people that attain success.

Well, people who factor race in their decision-making such as buying an album will usually have a whole host of other biases. So if they’re not deterred by Asian-ness, they’ll find other things to dislike. Creepily, you have just become a mouthpiece for racist expectations in this country.
Don’t worry too much about the lazy eyes. It’s probably caused by the electric fan blowing on her face.

Would you buy her single if the cover looked like a shampoo commercial showing Charice cheerful, with blue eyes and blond hair ?
