Hollywood Records posted a bio for Selena’s new album A Year Without Rain. It contains a lot of interesting information so you must read it!
What do you do after striking gold with your first solo album, wrapping your third season starring in a hit series and earning raves for your movie debut? If you’re Selena Gomez, you dance. At least, you get the world on its feet with “A Year Without Rain.” A follow-up to “Kiss & Tell,” Selena’s gold-certified Hollywood Records debut CD, “A Year Without Rain” shows Selena and her band, The Scene, in a whole new light, this one pulsating, multicolored and ready for the mirrored ball.
“I really wanted something that felt good to perform, but had a techno/dance vibe,” Selena says. “I wanted something that had meaning and melody, and more empowering lyrics.” That’s exactly what she delivers in “A Year Without Rain.” Working with top producer/songwriters like Tim James & Antonina Armato, Kevin Rudolf, Toby Gad and Jonas Jeberg, Selena kept to a more quickened tempo, exploring themes of love, freedom and the joy of living for the moment.
Selena credits the album’s neo-techno leanings to her 2010 platinum-certified single, ‘Naturally,” which pointed the way for her. That track “really helped me figure out where I want to be,” she says. “There’s a feeling when I perform that song that I love, so when I was going back in the studio, I had a better understanding of where I wanted to be musically.”
