A synth-laden melody and body moving beats with vocals akin to Rihanna, Island Def Jam‘ new pop act Kristinia DeBarge has a bright future.
If you haven’t heard her debut single “Goodbye” on the radio yet, or on the Nivea commercial, you’ll surely be hearing it constantly soon enough. “Goodbye”, officially released April 27th, is a powerful female anthem, in which DeBarge tells her man, “I don’t care if I never see you again / I’ll be alright / Take this final piece of advice and get yourself together, / but either way baby, I’m gone.” You may recognize a sample from Steam’s 1969 #1 hit “Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbyeâ€.
The 19 year old DeBarge’s debut album, written and produced by the legendary Babyface, is set for a summer release. In addition to producing her album, Babyface is using Kristinia’s debut release as the debut release for his new label, Sodapop Music.
Kristinia knew she wanted to be a singer at the age of three. In her teens, her father James DeBarge (of 80’s DeBarge) and Kristinia went to the studio and recorded a duet called “How I Feel Insideâ€. Kristinia recalls,“Our session ended at 4am and my dad asked me after all those hours and after all that work if I still wanted to do this. I answered yes, and that’s how he knew I was serious about being a singer.†If three and a half minutes is any indication, then “Goodbye” proves she’s well on her way to a successful career.

I LOOOOOOVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEE THISS SSONG!!!!!<33
I’m going to go from a different angle. I think this song is awful.
This song is GREAT! But I’m not sure I like the techno kind of sound in it…
Today I actually went on Youtube and looked at different versions of this song and found this killer acoustic rendition by this artist Alina Smith: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSngerJ-II0
