"I don't really know anything else besides singing," said the daughter of James DeBarge, the keyboardist of the 1980s Motown group DeBarge and ex-husband of Janet Jackson.
But instead of singing the sultry soul and R&B her family members delivered years back, DeBarge is ready to take over the pop world with her debut CD, "Exposed," released in late July. She's opening up for the Britney Spears tour next month, and her first single, "Goodbye," which samples Steam's 1969 hit "Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye)," is a Top 40 hit on the Billboard pop chart.
The song has even drawn comparisons to Rihanna, but DeBarge says she doesn't mind since she is a fan of the singer.
"I love Rihanna - I think she has a lot of great music that she's come out with," she said.
