music news The New Testament of Pop turns 11! - Stars Dance by Selena Gomez #SG0

[ShadeIena]

Selena's Britney and Skrillex inspired album was created in 2013.

 

The album mixed EDM, Dubstep , Dancehall, Banghra , House and Electropop; and also invented a genre 'Baby Dubstep'. Selena shaped herself as a performer with choreography and singing, a little changed for Revival but this era truly shaped her to be taken seriously as a pop girl instead of just a Disney kid.

 

It changed lives like the Old Testament of pop did (BlackOut by Britney).

 

The album spawned two singles: Come & Get It (#6 US , #1 ww) and the gay-clubs classic Slow Down and the moan-infused promo single: Birthday

 

The album would've had three more singles that were cancelled due to Selena having health complications with lupus that ended up having chemotherapy. Undercover mv was filmed but scrapped, Save The Day and Nobody Does It Like you were the other planned singles. The album also had the unreleased fan favorite: Sad Serenade.

Is this going to be in the top 50 @Zaram?

 

[Minto]

new testament? changed lives? idk about that but title track was a serve 

 

[LikeAChampion]

I was just listening to Stars Dance (the song) today and the bridge is unmatched. So ethereal. Plus it has the godly bop that is Like A Champion. One of my favorites from Selena and her best tour. 

[Saintlor]

Nobody Does It Like You and Stars Dance are two of her best songs ever

 

Amazing album 

[bielneira]

I like it, but it's not good 

 

[Lachlan]

I mean it's aged AWFULLY but god damn I was obsessed with it back in the day and it's full of bops. 

[Twizzy]

This album is full of fun buzzing dance-pop songs, I don't know why she decided to disown this album and not claim it as her debut, the whole "I changed labels" thing was a lame excuse. She clearly loves the genre and the music.

Very this

 

I never ever revisit it but it's super nostalgic lmao

[Spicy_TyTy]

Undercover, Write Your Name and Forget Forever are such 2010s bops!! 
 

Loved popstar Selena during this era and Revival 

[gay interrupted]

I still listen to forget forever on the regular. I miss when Selena was in her pop star bag 

[Santhosh]

This album was my jam back in the day

[Alex]

Undercover and the title track still go off to this day

[RobDeWittBukater]

The way this album had me in a chokehold in 2013. Write Your Name, Undercover, Slow Down, Nobody Does It Like You, Stars Dance - bangers upon bangers That summer was so good.

[Blue Monday]

This glorified Rihjection Collection. Slow Down though >>>>

The title track is one of her best songs ever, the production is just ethereal and fantastic. It deserved to be single

[Heldenzeit]

The what?

It makes you think how much Selena could've slayed if she pursued this sound.

 

Madison Beer's Make You Mine would've really suited her voice

[Erotic]

WRITE YOUR NAME 

 

 

ACROSS THE SKY

She did some deep house for SG3 and I wonder if it will ever be released. He did a song with Fred Again close to MYM.

 

Also this was made post- Stars Dance , she clearly loves the sound but somehow she doesn't release it, the closest we had were IAM, Wolves

 

 

 

[Gladiator]

This is my favorite album of hers. 

[nostalgic]

Slow Down is still so much fun and always will be 

[Bencharmer]

Stars Dance (the song) is still my fave song from her. So Kingdom Hearts coded
