JASON DERULO WILL RELEASE SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM ON MARCH 1, 2010

BREAKOUT POP ARTIST’S ALBUM WILL FEATURE SMASH SINGLE “WHATCHA SAY” AND ITS FOLLOW-UP “IN MY HEAD,” WHICH IS CURRENTLY #3 ON THE NZ TOP 40 SINGLES CHART

Red-hot pop sensation Jason Derulo — the first artist signed to Warner Bros. Records’ joint venture with multi-platinum songwriter and producer J.R. Rotem’s label Beluga Heights — will release his eagerly anticipated, self-titled debut album on March 1, 2010.

A gifted, genre-hopping songwriter who has created tracks for a multitude of artists such as Lil Wayne, Sean Kingston, Pitbull, P. Diddy, Danity Kane, and Iyaz (who currently has a Top 10 NZ Airplay single “Replay”), Derulo’s album reflects his love for all different types of music with an uncategorizable blend of pop, rock, electronic, and R&B elements that showcases this exciting newcomer’s many talents. “It’s definitely a music lover’s album,” the Miami-born 20-year-old says. “It reflects all my different influences, but it’s deeply rooted in pop.”

Derulo wrote or co-wrote each track on the album, which was produced by Rotem, who has also worked with Rihanna, Leona Lewis, Rick Ross, and many others. “J.R. is a musician like myself, and has the ability to work within all different types of genres,” Derulo says. “We can literally do whatever we want in the studio and experiment, which is really important to me because I want to break down barriers and do things that have never been done before.” The album features songwriting contributions from in-demand hit-makers Claude Kelly (Kelly Clarkson’s “My Life Would Suck Without You,” Britney Spears’ “Circus,” Miley Cyrus’ “Party in the USA”), Evan Bogart (Beyonce’s “Halo,” Rihanna’s “S.O.S.”), and Alex James (Adam Lambert’s “Sure Fire Winners,” Tata Young “My Bloody Valentine”).

Derulo has already seen his star ascend with the blockbuster success of his debut single “Whatcha Say,” which quickly climbed to No. 2 on the NZ Airplay Charts and has remained in the Top 20 for over 15 weeks. “Whatcha Say” has also remained Top 10 on the NZ Singles Chart and has been reached Platinum sales.

In late January, Derulo wrapped up a six-week stint on the road with Lady Gaga on her red-hot, sold-out “Monster Ball” tour of North America, which included four shows at New York City’s famed Radio City Music Hall.

The track-listing for Jason Derulo is as follows:
“Whatcha Say”
“Ridin’ Solo”
“In My Head”
“The Sky’s The Limit”
“What If”
“Love Hangover”
“Encore”
“Fallen”
“Blind”
