On her first two albums, this Disney star never shook the moonlighting-actor vibe; on When the Sun Goes Down, though, she sounds fully invested in tart electro-disco ditties like ”Bang Bang Bang".
For now, as long as she makes records as good and as much fun as When the Sun Goes Down, everything will be fine.
On When the Sun Goes Down you get a teenybopper posing as a dorm-hardened college junior, and we all know how convincingly that scenario plays.

With more experience, a few hits and a bigger budget, you'd expect this third album to reach higher. In part it does, thanks to catchier hooks and production with the help of pop experts Greg Kurstin and Britney Spears. Still, it suffers from the usual: unoriginality, lack of unity, overproducing and weak lyrics. Even backed by greater consistency on the first half, the second one drowns all their rights into a sea of wrongs.

the nostalgia!!! i remember this being the FIRST album i downloaded on my very first ipod touch... it definitely saved me as a kid. however, as much as i love this, it's definitely (probably) my least favourite album from selena. it's a difficult one because it has HITS and then some mediocre songs mixed together... nonetheless, this was a moment. times were simpler :,)
perfect: love you like a love song, who says, my dilemma
favs: hit the lights, middle of nowhere, dices
skip: that's more ... read more
Album that dances on the edge of pop greatness but often finds itself caught in the shadows of its own ambitions. It has a few great moments but too many missed opportunities to truly be memorable.
