In her third album, Selena Gomez &amp; the Scene \u2013 When the Sun Goes Down, this Disney star gone pop princess sings about love, inner beauty and following your dreams. The twelve-track album is strung together by up-tempo, up-beat songs with positive messages. It also boasts a highly renowned crop of co-song writers including Pixie Lott, Britney Spears and Katy Perry.

The danceable electro-pop beat of \u201cI Love You Like a Love Song\u201d is carried throughout the entire album, giving this CD the ultimate one-two punch\u2014it is fun to both sing and dance to! My personal favorite tracks were hard to choose, but included \u201cBang, Bang, Bang,\u201d \u201cWe Own the Night\u201d and \u201cWhiplash.\u201d All the songs on the album were equally enjoyable and featured bouncy, fast moving, techno saturated vibes.<\/p>\n<p>Positive messages are a hallmark of this album\u2014yet another reason to love it! Lyrics are punctuated by messages about inner beauty and following your dreams. One of the most influential songs on the album is \u201cWho Says\u201d which is a true empowerment anthem about loving and accepting yourself.\u00a0 Within the first few weeks of being released, \u201cWho Says\u201d hit the top 10 biggest songs of the week on the Billboard charts and shortly thereafter became the #1 dance\/ club play tune on the charts. This feel good tune gives music lovers a reason to smile.<\/p>\n<p>Selena Gomez &amp; the Scene \u2013 When the Sun Goes Down is Gomez\u2019s best album to date. The fun, youthful spirit of the album is perfect for teenage girls, especially because of the \u201cdance-like-no-one-can-see-you\u201d feel. This album is laced with electronic beats and thumping base notes making this CD perfect for dancing queens.
