Vanessa Hudgen’s “Identified” — FIRST REVIEW

Vanessa Hudgen’s “Identified” — FIRST REVIEW

Entertainment Weekly has the first look at Vanessa Hudgens‘ sophomore release, Identified, out July 1.

“[The album] is definitely sophisticated,” Vanessa says. “But it’s also funky and fun–something that I would, like, actually listen to.”

Here’s what EW had to say about three of the album’s tracks:

“Sneakernight” — The thumping first single “is a fun song about hanging out with your girlfriends and wearing sneakers,” says Hudgens, who’s no stranger to stiletto-induced red-carpet cramps. “When I show the video, I was like, ‘I cannot believe I’m wearing sneakers for the first time in a music video!’ It was awesome.”

“First Bad Habit” — Hudgens enlisted producer Dr. Luke (Kelly Clarkson, Pink) to pump synths into this sassy anthem “about when you like a hug so much but know he’s a complete a–hole.” Is said rapscallion like any particular man in her life? “It hasn’t happened to me, but a lot of my friends have gone through so much crap.”

“Gone with the Wind” — “And now I’m standing my ground/And who I am/For that I’m proud,” she declares in this stripped-down ballad. “I just kind of went for it…. The song basically means: I know a lot more, and that timidness and naïveté is gone with the wind.”

Cute how Zac always mentions Vanessa in his interviews. :)

What a sweet guy.

i love zanessa

zanessa is beautiful

A good evening to all Angels. Hope your day has been good.

Thanks for the video and photo links. Really appreciate them.

Malia, bless you. Your news is always good. And I totally agree with the rest. There is nothing wrong with Vanessa’s interview. She just felt she let on more than she should have. And yup, there were 2 cameras there. She was either looking directly at the one camera or someone beside it. Now, could it have been Zac, I wonder and was she just looking at him for reassurance? Hey, this is just speculation and not a fact.

Boji

I thought the same thing - you now how they tend to hang out together and I bet he was sitting over there - it seemed someone was there listening to the interview other than the interviewer??

Thanks, Pit. It does sound more plausible. They’re always together whenever they can,come rain or shine. AAwww.

I LOVE VANESSA!!! JARED, MORE POSTS ABOUT VANESSA PLEASE!!!

Zac was probably right off camera when Vanessa did her interview. And Vanessa was right off camera when he did his.

Awww . . . they are so sweet. I just love them.

Malia

I think you are right on that…

That’s exactly what I was thinking too, Malia, because they did their interviews in the auditorium. Ashley did hers in a dressing room, wardrobe dept, or elsewhere. I’d be a little jiggy if Zac was hanging on every word I said!!

I loved how Ashley mentioned how great Troy and Gabriella’s songs were!! I can’t wait to hear them. Wonder if any will be as tear-jerking as “Gotta Go My Own Way”.

Looks like we all agree on the one thing, Zac and Vanessa were both present at each other’s interview. So that settles it.

Personally, I’m not so much interested in the storyline as in seeing my fav. duo dancing, twirling, dipping and singing their hearts out of sweet nothings to each other and of course, the kiss or kisses. No more misses this time and plenty of PDA. I know if I were the director, I’m going to make it one mushy big mess.

the LA Times is reporting Zac is back in LA for a few days - wonder if his “sidekick” is there with him??

Just sneaking in to say hi to all the supporters!

Go sox… I have to agree with about you on how nice Ashley is
admiring the songs of Troy and Gabriela.. in the dvd extra of
HSM2 , she mentioned that amongst the songs she like
its “gotta go my own way” and even listens to it in her car…

Btw.. Hope you’re having a great day today! Happy weekend!
Cant wait to check the interview when i got home from work later.

Boji..How are you! Hope everything is doing great with you.
also I replied on your email, if you have time to check it out :)

Pit. does this mean he’ll be at the awards? He has brought her along before and this should be no exception. This red carpet thingy is in LA, I gather.

The gals at Zaas said they’ll be there and I do look forward to their account.

Hiya V-loyalist, have a good afternoon, will ya.

OMG!
I can’t wait till it comes out!
I have always loved Vanessa’s songs, and I know this will be great!
I also love her too!
:)

Happy Saturday Boji! How’s the weather there in KL? we’ve been experiencing rain for a few days now,i think summer is almost over
for us, and school about to start.

The last event that Zac & Vanessa attended together was the Palm Spring.. If indeed he is going to MTV awards and bring Vanessa,
it will be wonderful.. keeping my fingers cross girlie!

Ok gotta go back to work! see ya!

Vanessa did really well in the interview and looked great and it sounds like they’re having a great time and nice to see her wearing the ring as well.

Loved Zac’s interview too as it’s been said he always mentions Vanessa and I for one can’t wait to see him and Vanessa do the old style dancing which is something that I thought we would never se in HSM but I dare say Kenny will do a brilliant job as always.

I agree also that Vanessa is still a bit guarded in in terviews becuase evrything she say’s always seems to get twisted into something else so I don’t blame her for thinking about her answers carefuly. But Zac is also still a bit like that to they both seem to be getting more comfortable to some degree.

They might go to the awards as even though it’s Zac who nominated that does’nt mean that Vanessa won’t go, I know he has gone solo before when it’s been to do with HS but the Palm Springs thing was and Vanessa went along with him for that as his date, so maybe they will get a weekend off to go to it we will know soon enough.

The opening number sounds too like it’s going to be great, can’t wait to see Coach Bolton.

Don’t know how accurate this is, but it’s a blurb from the LA Times:

Just getting ready to go to bed, but I wanted to say goodnight and you’re very welcome for the links. I try to pass things along as I see them!

Sleep well all!

great intervieuws i love zac and vanessa also ashley

Good Morning!! Hope all is well with our great fans!

Boji, I would love to see the same thing in HSM 3- no near misses this time!!

I gotta say I’m really looking forward to seeing Zac and Vanessa waltz!!! My dad taught me when I was little, and I only see it on DWTS now. It’s so romantic, and Zac and Vanessa will do it justice, I’m sure!!

Malia, thanks for the link. Zac looks, as we’d say here, WICKED good!!

Hoping like everyone else here, that they’ll make it to the awards together. It’s an individual award so maybe he’ll take her for moral support! Always love seeing them ‘dressed up’!!
