We love Selena Gomez in a Cinderella Story. We fell further in love with her in Princess Protection Program. And now we’ve got one more reason to adore her – Selena’s first album Kiss & Tell.

Selena, following in the footsteps of her friends Demi Lovato and Ashley Tisdale, teamed up with The Scene to create this 13-song album. The amazing part about the album is that it sounds better than the usual first attempt by a young singer. The songs fit together and sound like Selena’s been in the business of album making for years.

In case you’re thinking ‘I’ve never heard of this band The Scene before’ you’re not the only one. This is the name of Selena’s band. She’s reported to have explained the name of the band this way: “I named my band the Scene because a lot of people are making fun of me calling me a ‘wannabe scene,’ so I thought I would poke fun [at] that. Can’t beat ‘em join ‘em!”

Don’t compare the songs to Tell Me Something I Don’t Know – arguably the worst song on the album and one we’ve heard a lot before. Half the songs are peppy and upbeat dance beats. Others take it down a notch giving us Selena’s more sensitive vocal side. As a Blonde is hilarious, and it’s a cover of one of Selena’s favorite Canadian singers Fefe Dobson.

Selena’s reported as saying, “I basically want to make music that is fun and that parents and kids can jump around to and have a good time to.”
