BoA releases repackage album

Korean pop sensation BoA has released a repackaged version of her United States debut album.

"Deluxe" carries 12 songs from her first U.S. album plus two new songs "Crazy About" and "Control" in addition to an edited version of her third single "Energetic", BoAs agency SM Entertainment announced in a press release on Tuesday.

"Crazy About" was made by Sean Garett, a leading producer in the U.S. music industry whom she worked with previously for her debut album and "Control" was written and produced by Brian Kennedy.

"Energetic" had made its first exclusive appearance on the website of Entertainment Weekly magazine in July.

BoA's new album was released on August 31 on websites including iTunes, Amazon, AOL, Emusic and My Space and a day later on Korean websites such as Melon and Cyworld.

The album will also be sequentially available in other countries throughout Asia such as Japan and Taiwan as well as in European countries including England, France, Germany and Italy.

The album itself will be released in stores in the U.S. on September 22 and a day later in South Korea.

The 22-year-old singer released her first single "Eat You Up" in the U.S. late last year and her first album "BoA" in March.
