Selena Gomez

A YEAR WITHOUT RAIN, the second album by American band SELENA GOMEZ & THE SCENE was released on 17 SEPTEMBER 2010 via HOLLYWOOD RECORDS. The band again worked with the writer and producer that were retained from their debut “KISS & TELL”. Along with the use of “AUTO TUNE” effect the album also infuses influences of various genres including “ELECTROPOP”, “DANCEHALL”, “TECHNO”,“R&B” and many others. The lyrical themes of the album include topics of love, freedom and the joy of living in the moment. Most of the songs of the album were dedicated to the fans according to GOMEZ. A YEAR WITHOUT RAIN debuted in U.S at #4 and selling 60000 copies in its first week. The album was certified GOLD by RIAA in JANUARY 2011. More than 609000 copies had been sold in U.S till JUNE 2011.

The album features a predominant “dance-pop-electro pop” feel. On most track GOMEZ’s vocals contains “auto tune” effect. The album proved “more serious lyrically and musically” than “KISS & TELL”. Dispersing the RETRO FEEL of the previous “KISS & TELL”, the album was totally of the moment accompanied by auto-tune and guest raps. The album opener “ROUND & ROUND” features a riding electro groove while “SUMMER’s NOT HOT” have a courtesy of Redone. The title track “A YEAR WITHOUT RAIN” is a disco, also described as “EMO”.  ERIC BELLINGER makes an appearance in RAP in “INTUITION” while KATTY PERRY has backing vocals on “ROCK GOD”. “GHOST OF YOU” is a ballad about breakup while ending track “LIVE LIKE THERE’s NO TOMMOROW” is called power ballad.

Noting the improvement from the band’s debut album “A YEAR WITHOUT RAIN” has been given mostly positive reviews. The album’s mix of frothy teen pop with super catchy choruses, excellent production, and SELENA’s sweet yet powerful vocals proved popular with both critics and public. Despite of fair amount of fluff here SELENA GOMEZ proves a highly promising artist. She is clearly a charming and appealing vocalist. “A YEAR WITHOUT RAIN” is similar in many ways but also very different in some important ways. “A YEAR WITHOUT RAIN” proves a solid, pleasing pop album.
