[ RELEASE NOTES ]
With two major motion pictures, a new album and an international mega-tour on
tap for 2008, Vanessa Hudgens can sense the approaching cyclone. The media
frenzy, the blur of time zones, the roar of the arena crowd: it's all part of
the package. But having been around this block before, the 19-year-old singer
is more than ready. With her new Hollywood Records CD, Identified, Vanessa
Hudgens has matured, revealing a level of sophisticated artistry sure to
thrill long-time fans and draw in new fans as well.
Working with A-list songwriter-producers like JR Rotem, Dr. Luke, Tim James &
Antonina Armato, Vanessa took unexpected turns on the new album. "This time I
did what I wanted to do," she says. "I always had a knack for a more soulful,
jazzy sound, so right off the bat I wanted to kind of let loose, and come up
with a sound no one has heard from me before." She's not exaggerating. For
those familiar with her sweet-toned performances from the "High School
Musical" films - which catapulted her to superstardom - or her 2006 debut CD,
V, Vanessa has some gritty surprises in store. Vanessa's first single and
video, "Sneakernight," is both fun and funky, and may end up as one of the
CD's most enduring hits. Says Vanessa, "Dancing in sneakers makes it all the
better. People haven't been able to see that side of me. I can kick butt!"
Identified kicks off with "Last Night," the raucously rhythmic opener
featuring Vanessa singing over her own chanted harmonies. "I loved it the
minute I first heard it," she says of the song. "It's really intricate and
really fun, something you don't hear very often." Best known as a singer and
actress, Vanessa is also a superb dancer, so for the new album she raised the
stakes with pummeling dance tracks like "Hook It Up," "First Bad Habit" and
the hook-laden title track, "Identified."
With "Don't Ask Why," "Don't Leave" and the heartfelt "Paper Cut," there's no
shortage of ballads on the album. Vanessa says ballads are her forte. "I like
showing the vulnerable side," she notes. "It's a position a lot of girls find
themselves in, where love takes control of you and you don't have any control
over it."
Songs like "Party on the Moon" and the hip-hop-flavored "Amazed" place
Vanessa at the forefront of contemporary pop interpreters.
Vanessa ends the album with "Gone with the Wind," a wistful lament about
change in the wake of faded love. The lyrics tell a tale of a confident woman
evolving out of the wide-eyed girl of before.
Sound familiar? That's Vanessa Hudgens, who became a household name following
her starring role in the smash 2005 made for TV Disney Channel film, "High
School Musical." In the years since, in film, music and performance, Vanessa
has proven her appeal to both youth and adult audiences.
From the age of eight, the Salinas, CA, native displayed a talent beyond her
years. Starting with local productions of popular musicals, Vanessa later
moved with her family to Southern California to pursue her dreams. With her
2004 motion picture debut in the critically acclaimed "Thirteen," Vanessa
landed roles in "Thunderbirds," as well as TV's "Quintuplets," "Still
Standing," "The Brothers Garcia" and "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody."
Everything changed with the January 2006 premiere of the Disney Channel movie
"High School Musical," in which she starred as Gabriella Montez. The film
gathered steam right away, spawning a hit soundtrack, a worldwide concert
tour, a show at Walt Disney World and even a book series. It made superstars
of Vanessa and her co-star, Zac Efron.
"We had no idea," she says, when asked if she sensed at the time the film
would become a cultural phenomenon. "We were just having fun: just kids doing
what we love most, and it turned out big."
Vanessa's RIAA certified gold debut CD, V, shipped September 2006, with hit
singles like "Come Back To Me" and "Say OK" following soon after. She
reprised her role as Gabriella in "High School Musical 2," which premiered on
the Disney Channel in August 2007. That same month, Vanessa was named Choice
Breakout Singer at the 2007 Teen Choice Awards. She also landed commercial
contracts with companies like Neutrogena and Mark Ecko.
As for her acting career, Vanessa is set to star in the highly anticipated
"High School Musical 3," which reunites the cast from the first two films.
"It's got all of us back in senior year," she says. "It's going to be pretty
crazy, with so much more dancing and singing. We're just stepping it up."
Vanessa will also co-star in the comedy, "Rock On," alongside Alyson
Michalka, Gaelan Connell, and Lisa Kudrow. She plays Sam, a 15-year old high
school outcast with an enduring love of music. "It's a fun movie about
friendship," says Vanessa. "I got to play a completely different character,
one who is downbeat and moodier."
In real life, Vanessa Hudgens couldn't be more upbeat, especially with the
release of Identified. Not only does the album affirm her standing in
contemporary pop, it points the way for a gifted artist on the ascent. "I'm
just really happy and thankful for my fans and the support everyone continues
to give me," she says. "I feel I'm at such a great point in life. I hope
everyone enjoys my album, because I totally enjoyed making it."

Only pic I like of her. Wiki lied, no Danja production here :(. J.R. Rotem on
lead single though, with Dr. Luke (person who produced with Kelly Clarkson on
her '04 album, Breakaway) on some tracks. Enjoy!
Don't forget to support the artists! We did.
