About Christina Perri
Christina Perri has come a long way as in July 2010, the then struggling singer-songwriter and musician had a life-changing moment when she was asked to perform a song she had written, a defiant break-up anthem called “Jar of Hearts,” on the Fox show “So You Think You Can Dance”. The raw, emotional quality of her performance connected with viewers and catapulted the 24-year-old Philadelphia native into the public eye. “Jar of Hearts” went on to sell a million downloads and land Perri, who was then supporting herself as a café manager in Beverly Hills, a deal with Atlantic Records.
Jar of Hearts” is just one of 12 honest gems that Perri unveils on her debut album lovestrong, a title she says reflects how her heart feels today. “I looked at the album as a whole piece and the two themes that stood out were love and strength,” she says. “It really titled itself. Writing about love is just who I am. I’ve tried to write about other things, but ultimately this is what comes out of me.”
Perri lays herself bare on lovestrong, using her soaring, bittersweet voice and expressive piano playing to sketch out her stories. Some, like “Penguin” and “Arms,” are happy and hopeful, some, like “Bang Bang Bang” and “Mine,” are fun and playful, and others, like “The Lonely” and “Jar of Hearts,” are downright wrenching. The common thread? “They’re all songs I felt I needed to give away,” she says. “I have been writing songs since I was 15, so I reached into my arsenal and picked the ones I felt others should hear. My intention for my music is pretty simple: I want to make people feel less broken and alone.”
It didn’t really register how emotionally raw the album was going to be until Perri’s 20th day in the recording studio. “In the vocal booth, I had to go back to the place and time that made me feel so vulnerable and rip open old wounds to sing each song, sometimes two songs in a day,” she says. “Emotionally, it was the hardest 33 days of my life, but it was worth it because the result is that this album is 100 percent me. It’s heartfelt, real, bold, honest, vulnerable, hopeful, strong, poetic, bluesy, gritty, pretty, and simple.”
Produced by Joe Chiccareli (White Stripes, Tori Amos) and mixed by Michael Brauer (Coldplay, Regina Spektor), lovestrong boasts a bold creative vision that is very much in keeping with Perri’s spirited personality. A petite, tattooed ball of energy with an engaging smile, she has always embraced life to the fullest. Her adventures have included touring the world as an assistant to a rock band, spending a year at a prestigious university, producing popular music videos, making olive oil in Italy, and even serving as a fashionistabarrista in Beverly Hills.
Her latest current hit “A Thousand Years” taken from the album The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. was featured in a Vimeo clip of popular Malaysian blogger Timothy Tiah Ewe Tiam, co-founder of the popular ad-blogging
site Nuffnang, proposing to his girlfriend/fiancée Audrey Ooi Feng Ling, with "A Thousand Years" used as the backing track for the proposal video, immediately went viral on the web, racking up nearly 4 million views online within a week, with American Idol host Ryan Seacrest hailing it as a heartwarming coda to 2011. Perri confessed that the video made her cry.
