Selena and the Scene – When the Sun Goes Down
Selena Gomez is the best thing to happen to Disney since Mickey and Minnie went public with their relationship.
Fortunately, no racy pic or pole dancing scandals have haunted this little Wizard of Waverly Place. Her secret to keeping her image squeaky clean? Cranking out albums virtually every other month. Since March 2010, Selena and the Scene have released 3 studio albums, and the most recent, When the Sun Goes Down, dropped on Tuesday.
Though Ms. Cutie Patootie declares this latest project will show a sexier Selena, I assure all you mommies and babysitters that When the Sun Goes Down is the most tween-friendly album of the year.
My favorite tracks are “Whiplash,” which former Teen Queen, Britney Spears, helped pen, and “Love You Like A Love Song.”

Bey named her latest masterpiece 4 to honor her favorite number, but a more fitting title for the album would be “Awesomeness.”
I was skeptical about 4’s potential after hearing Beyonce’s vibrato-heavy performance of “1+1″ during this year’s BMA’s. Then the industry swirled with reports that she and her camp were panicked because “Run The World” wasn’t charting as well as anticipated. My suspicions – for a moment – were validated.
But nothing quells a nasty rumor like the truth. And 4 is just that.
Tracks like “Party” and “Countdown” are playful, upbeat tunes that would fit perfectly on a college student’s playlist. In “Love on Top,” Beyonce’ wows with her signature key changes over brass and percussion accompaniments.
The album exhibits the free-spirited vibe of little sis Solange’s Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams and boasts the boldness that makes Beyonce’ untouchable.
4 is the feel good, fall in love, play on repeat, Summer album of 2011!
10 Years & Counting!
From sporting corn-rows as Ms. Keys to glamming up red carpets as Mrs. Beatz, Alicia has come quite a long way.
Her amazing vocals and incredible songwriting abilities, however, remain unchanged.
And since her legacy has been cemented with ballads, chart toppers, and countless accolades, Alicia Keys is celebrating by releasing Songs in A Minor – 10th Anniversary Edition.
A fresh-faced newbie, Alicia commanded our attention with “Fallin” back in 2001.
Her remake of Prince’s “How Come You Don’t Call Me” is another fave from the album.
The 10th Anniversary Edition has the old tracks we loved from the first release as well as previously unreleased songs and remixes.
Go to iTunes and Amazon to preview and download all of these albums!
