Kimberly Cole

A rising star on the pop/dance music scene, Kimberly Cole is releasing her first ever DJ collaboration with international DJ/producer/remixer, Eddie Amador titled, "Arrow Through My Heart" on August 2, 2011. This anthemic tune is pure dance pop with a hint of dubstep and also features up and coming artist, Garza. Having opened for acts like Katy Perry, LMFAO and Shiny Toy Guns, Cole is beginning to make her mark as a headliner.

Kimberly Cole is still making waves with her single "Smack You," which Seventeen Magazine calls an "incredibly addictive dance-pop tune." The title track off her debut album, Bad Girls Club (Oxygen Media/iTunes), "Smack You" is a girlfight-themed song about standing up for yourself, which Cole dedicates to "anyone who has ever been a victim of bullying." The edgy, upbeat song is getting Top 40 radio and mix show adds across the U.S. and broke the Top 5 on the Billboard Dance Chart. The video has a Tarantino-inspired Kill Bill-style fight club theme. "Smack You" was featured on the fifth and sixth season of the Oxygen reality show "The Bad Girls Club," a collaboration which led the network to support the release of her first full-length album.

Bad Girls Club represents a solid debut effort for Cole, infused with catchy tunes, clever lyrics and irresistible beats. She co-wrote all of the songs with Grammy-nominated producer/writer Jeeve (Nicole Scherzinger, Paulina Rubio, Carlos Santana), joined by the songwriting talents of Philip Lawrence (Bruno Mars, Flo Rida, Cee-Lo) and The Writing Camp (Beyonce, Britney Spears, Rihanna). From the sexy "Cherry Pop" and "Pocket Rocket" to the party-hearty beat of "Get Stupid" to such relationship-driven tracks as "Psycho," "Walk of Shame" and the comedy-laced "Three Way," Cole establishes herself as a talent both fresh and fearless.

Cole has already earned such ardent supporters as celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, and Clear Channel's iHeart Radio has pegged her as "One to Watch." Clearly, fans have been paying attention: Twitter has spotlighted her as one of its featured users, with well over 1.3 million followers.
