2009 debut album from the R&B vocalist first featured on the 2003 American Idolspinoff, American Juniors. Kristinia is no stranger to the music business. She'sthe daughter of '80s pop star James DeBarge but her road to a record deal wasnot handed over to her without patience, perseverance and hard work. Kristiniagrew up listening to strong female vocalists like Mariah Carey, ChristinaAguilera, Alicia Keys and the Supremes but she credits Rock artists like LedZeppelin, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan and even Queens Of The Stone Age as some of herinfluences. Kristinia has a personal connection to each of the songs on heralbum. They either tell a story about her life or delve into an emotion she'sexperienced. The smash single 'Goodbye', which samples Steam's 1969 hit 'Na NaHey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye', has also been used in television ad campaigns,helping to push sales of the single over 300,000 in less than two months.
