When the Sun Goes Down (Music CD) by Selena Gomez and the Scene

When the Sun Goes Down
by Selena Gomez and the Scene
Hollywood Records, 2011

GENRE: Pop Music, Electropop

HONORS: U.S. Gold Record

REVIEW: Selena Gomez broke out as a child celebrity as the star of the Disney Channel Show The Wizards of Waverly Place, and soon expanded her career into the music scene with Selena Gomez and the Scene. When the Sun Goes Down is the band’s third album, and the most popular to date featuring the hit song “Love You Like a Love Song.”

OPINION: I must admit that I have often gotten “Love You Like a Love Song” infectiously stuck in my head and I kept hitting “re-pe-pe-pe-pe-peat.” The album is fun and fresh, uplifting and heartwarming. There is a lot of sexually explicit music with foul language being played on public airwaves these days, and this album is the opposite as pure and simple, innocent and catchy bubblegum pop.

IDEAS: Selena Gomez songs would be fun for a library “Lip Syncing” performance or contest, either for the tweens/teens OR to let the them watch their favorite library staff be silly on stage.
