From the initial release of the single “Falling Down,” to the playlist picked up by Radio Disney beginning with “Kiss and Tell” and “Naturally,” the producers seem content in giving us unsavory doses of what might otherwise turn out to be a decent album. All albums seem to have their unattractive sides, but producers don’t generally use them to promote the rest of the collection.
Upon listening to the full album, these first few releases are overshadowed by the more emotional “I Promise You,” the more artistic “I Won’t Apologize,” and the more dynamic and fun “Crush.” Why were these not more favorably promoted?
I like Selena Gomez. She’s funny, a darn good actress and has the vocal strength to match the energy she puts forth in her music. But so far I don’t see the same effort from her producers. For the most part, the songs on this album sound as though they have been made for a quick buck, like another teen movie that’s only expected to do well within the first few days. Another album like this and Selena might simply become another star who made some music that few will remember.
