Chelsea Korka Teases Debut Album "Being Human"

I can't even put to words how excited I am for this. Chelsea Korka has been one of those artists I've been watching for years, waiting (basically begging) for new music. Trust me, her EP and one single she has released over the past four years are not enough for this blogger. Luckily, I came across a post from her that if you'd blink, you'd have a substantial chance of missing it. It was the first promo for her new album, Being Human.


Chelsea Korka. Where do I begin? She is one of those artists that seems to have their careers stolen from them at every turn. She started out on The CW's reality show The Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search For The Next Pussycat Doll 2007, where she was a finalist to join the band. After missing out on that opportunity, she was approached to join a new international girl group, Paradiso Girls. The band, which was a collection of girls from diverse nationalities, went to release two amazing singles, but selling girl groups in the United States is a hard bargain, and the group was canned. Their fully recorded album was permanently shelved.

Since then, Korka has been making a go on her own. She has done extensive touring and released a solo EP back in the early 2012 and more recently released a single called "Save Me". Unfortunately all of this has been taken down from iTunes. On the bright side we have confirmed that she does have the intention to release new material soon. Check out this sneaky post she made to Facebook yesterday.






Most notably, it seems that having her songs taken off of iTunes is part of a re-branding strategy. Instead of going by Chelsea Korka, here she is going by CGK, the "G" presumably being her middle name. Whether or not that is the case is unclear, but the words "Debut Album" and "Being Human" are definitely there, giving this blogger hope for the future.

We do not have a release date yet, nor an indication as to whether stand alone single "Save Me" will be a part of this album. All we know is that she has felt solidified enough in the release to make the announcement, and that we get a very, very short clip of a new track called "Romeo".
