(Note: image description: boa_bday)

Korean pop star BoA is gearing up for her U.S. launch beginning with a move to the West Coast. The singer, who recently relocated to Los Angeles, is assembling an all-star team of producers and songwriters for her English-language debut album, scheduled for release next year.

Producers/songwriters Brian Kennedy (Rihanna’s “Disturbia”) and Sean Garrett (Beyoncé’s “Ring the Alarm”) are already on board, while a remix to “Eat You Up” featuring Flo Rida has been recorded and will be released in the coming month. The Bloodshy & Avant-produced first single is available now on iTunes.

BoA celebrated her 22nd birthday last week with a packed event at Los Angeles hotspot Zune LA.

More about her birthday:

BoA’s 22nd birthday was on November 5. In order to advance in the U.S., she is staying in a suburb of Los Angeles and was seen on November 6, a day after her birthday, at 7pm located in a Los Angeles restaurant bar at “ZUNE,” holding a “BoA Birthday Party & Listening Party.”

While preparing for American activities, BoA’s first U.S. interview was with Sidewalks TV. Based on the internet in San Francisco, Sidewalks TV in the past has interviewed Mary J Blige, Green Day, Shaquille O’Neal, Hulk Hogan, Marcia Cross, as well as other famous singers, movie stars, and sports stars.

BoA was introduced to Sidewalks TV as an international pop star with her “Eat You Up” music video. The interview included her introduction, and her goals for the future which look bright. Because of her devotion to studying, this has showed that BoA has skillfully advanced in her English to become fluent.
