BURBANK, CA–(Marketwire – May 5, 2010) –  Red hot new singing
sensation Charice who celebrates her 18th birthday on May 10^th
is giving fans a reason to celebrate also with the release of her
highly anticipated self titled debut album scheduled for release the
very next day. Also, on the May 11th release day, Charice will perform
on The Oprah Winfrey Show (her 4^th visit to the Oprah stage)
during the day and is scheduled to perform on QVC later that evening.

Charice, along with 15-time Grammy award-winning songwriter
and producer David Foster, will perform on QVC at 8pm (EDT). During the
QVC Presents QSessions Live, Charice will unveil songs from her debut
album and give fans an exclusive inside look at the inspiration behind
her music and career. This is the first time in QVC history that a new
artist will be featured on the day of their debut release.

Charice’s first single, the anthemic love song “Pyramid”
featuring Iyaz, has already jumped to No. 2 on the Billboard Dance
Charts and her single is currently being played on over 100 radio
stations across the U.S.

“We are thrilled to have Charice debuting her new album on
QVC,” said Rob Ellerstein, director of merchandising for QVC. “As one of
the most highly-anticipated releases this year, Charice’s appearance
promises to be one that fans won’t want to miss.”

“Everyone at Reprise Records is passionate in their
commitment to the success of Charice and the early indications have
already told us that we have a tremendous star with an extraordinary
future,” commented Reprise Records president Diarmuid Quinn. “We are
especially excited about the exposure she will have on day of release
with appearances on Oprah and her special live concert for QVC. Charice
has recorded a brilliant record and is a thrilling performer. David
Foster has once again brought us an artist that we fully expect will
continue his amazing track record for discovering unique talent like
Josh Groban and Michael Bublé,” he concluded. 

“I feel very blessed to have people like David Foster, Oprah
Winfrey, my Reprise family and the QVC people believe in me… I know
the week of May 10th will be a week I will remember for the rest of my
life,” said Charice.

Charice, who has already racked up more than 13 million views
on YouTube, began her singing career at age four when her mother
discovered her singing on a table, and went on to perform in several
singing contests in Southeast Asia. One of her many fans (“Chasters”)
put one of her performances on YouTube, and a star was born. She first
appeared in the U.S. on The Ellen Show, and then came to the attention
of “Hit Man” David Foster who signed her to his 143/Reprise Records. On
2009, Charice revisited the Oprah Show to perform the Diane
Warren-written and David Foster-produced “Note to God.” In the weeks
that followed, the Foster-produced track sold 110,000 total downloads.
