Los Angeles, September 28, 2010 - Multi-platinum, 16-year-old pop/R&B recording artist Justin Bieber will give his legions of devoted fans reason to grin on Thursday, September 30, when he introduces the worldwide debut of his new music video, ?U Smile? in its entirety on E! News at 7pm ET/PT. ?U Smile? will also make its online debut on Thursday at 7:30 pm ET/ 4:30pm PT on eonline.com , immediately following the E! News east coast premiere of the video.
?U Smile? is the third single from Bieber?s platinum album, My World 2.0 (Island), and is dedicated to the recording artist?s ever-growing following of adoring fans. The teen superstar talked a bit about the song himself on his Twitter back in March of 2010, saying, ?It really is a throwback to the great records I listened to growing up...I wrote it for all my fans who got me here." The video, directed by Colin Tiley, features Bieber playing a grand piano, dancing and also includes some of the singer?s fans. Bieber helped co-write the Motown-inspired track along with Jerry Duplessis, Arden Altino and Dan August Rigo.
Discovered on YouTube in 2007 after posting dozens of his own videos to the site, Bieber quickly skyrocketed to fame. Signing with LA Reid at the Island Def Jam Music Group in 2008, his debut-hit single, "One Time," was released worldwide in 2009. He soon followed with his debut release, My World, in November 2009, which was certified platinum in the United States, and made Bieber the first artist to have seven songs from a debut album chart on the Billboard Hot 100.
Bieber?s first full studio release, My World 2.0, was released in March 2010 and has since achieved even greater success; debuting at number one and certified platinum in less than two months of release in the United States, making him the youngest solo male artist to have a number 1 album on the Billboard Top 100 since Stevie Wonder in 1963. His album remained number 1 on the charts for four-weeks. He has over 8 million fans on Facebook, over 4 million followers on Twitter, and his huge hit ?Baby? is the most viewed YouTube video of all time, at just over 260 million views. He has sold over 5 million albums worldwide to date.
E!?s rich history of providing its audience with the latest breaking news in entertainment and pop culture makes it the perfect forum for the highly anticipated premiere of this fan-inspired hit by today?s hottest young recording artist.
