Charice gets Louder in second album

MANILA, Philippines - Charice took the local and international charts by storm with the release of her first and certified smash-hit single Pyramid featuring Iyaz, off her first self-titled international debut and certified platinum album under Warner Bros. Records in 2010. In the same year, Pyramid reached the No. 1 spot on Billboard Dance/Club Charts and Charice also became the only Asian artist to have an album debut at No. 8 on the US Billboard Top 200.

After all the success she has been receiving in the past few years — touring the world with David Foster, appearing in Glee and acting in her second Hollywood movie, Here Comes The Boom with Salma Hayek and Kevin James next year — Charice is back with Infinity still under Warner Bros. Records distributed locally by Warner Music Philippines. Japan and Southeast Asia are first territories to release in the world. Japan has shipped over 54,000 units of Infinity album and is the No. 1 English selling album in Japan. Collectively over 200,000 copies of her first album across Asia were sold since release.

Charice also takes a sassier tack in Louder, the second single from Infinity. It is directed by Tim Cruz and choreographed by Gil Duldulao the man behind the moves in Jennifer Lopez’s Waiting for Tonight, Janet Jackson’s Together Again and Christina Aguilera’s Drrrty and Genie in a Bottle, among others.

Infinity expresses Charice’s carving her place in the international pop music industry, as it features collaborations with distinguished producers and writers like Bruno Mars for the song Before It Explodes; Jason Derulo and Kara Dioguardi for Lesson For Life; JoJo for Heartbreak Survivor; Natasha Bedingfield for Lighthouse and Nick Jonas from the Jonas Brothers for One Day.
