Title: Selena Gomez - Stars Dance (upcoming album)
Post by: JackSnr on June 04, 2011, 04:19:20 PM
According to the wikipedia page Dr Luke is collaborating with Selena Gomez on her new album that comes out at the end of the month. There will be three songs produced by Dr Luke (One co-produced with Max) and one written by Britney Spears and another by Katy Perry.
here's the wiki page

Now we have these songs and Max's song with Pitbull and Enrique to look forwards to in the next few weeks!

Here is the Luke written/produced hit the lights. It's only a preview
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOmvcFvQHRE

It sounds good. A little generic but I cant wait to hear the rest.


Kind of reminds me of this song that Luke did for Miranda Cosgrove which I really like

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_the_Sun_Goes_Down_%28Selena_Gomez_%26_the_Scene_album%29#cite_note-15

Max' name has been removed for the listing, however Dr. Luke is still listed a producer, but not for any specific track. I think we need to wait for the booklet, unless anyone has any other sources?
Title: Re: Selena Gomez - Stars Dance (upcoming album)
Post by: JackSnr on June 22, 2011, 06:52:36 AM
I've heard a snippet of When The Sun Goes Down (though I can remember whit site) and Kill The Lights and there is no denying that they were produced by max and/or Luke but I'm not sure which one (or both). As you said, we may need to wait for the booklet.

On another note. I'm pretty sure that Shellback and Benny Blannco have produced Maroon 5's new song called Moves Like Jagger (I think) Thats what Wikipedia says and besides it sounds very Maxish (and Shellback-ish)  with the guitar riff and the 'what the hell' type runs and THE I WANNA GO WHISTLE!

Someone can form a new thread for it if they feel like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suRsxpoAc5w

Post by: Rebecca on June 22, 2011, 12:23:15 PM
The Selena song sounds really good. yeah, I suppose we'll just have to wait until we read the booklet for the credits. Maybe Max and Luke aren't involved at all.

Re the Maroon 5 song, that's a really good find, Jack. it does sound quite Shellback-ish, yes, let's wait and see. It's a really good song anyway.

So here is Hit The Lights  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sE6fXmTkM7w
And When The Sun Goes Down http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6j6pGMPH9k

I absolutely love Hit The The Lights  ;D They sound like Luke/Max tracks to me but we shall have to wait and see.
I still like them anyway. Sorry for the poor quality. 
Title: Re: Selena Gomez - Stars Dance (upcoming album)
Post by: Rebecca on June 27, 2011, 12:37:52 PM
I love Hit the Lights too, sounds like it will be a really good album, even if there's no Max/Luke.
Title: Re: Selena Gomez - Stars Dance (upcoming album)
Post by: georg_e on June 28, 2011, 05:14:56 AM
                  Yes, whoEVER wrote the verses to "Hit The Lights", I think those verses are the best thing on the whole album...really beautiful!!!

Update:   Couldn't find the booklet scans before......OK so it's by "Dreamlab", production/songwriting team from LA, run by Leah Haywood and her husband --she's originally a singer from Australia.  Damn, they're good :-)

''Hit the lights'' is the best song!

Although I love too the verses of ''Love you like a love song''.

oh, that is interesting, George, I hadn't heard of Leah Haywood for a while. you may know this, but Leah Haywood had a Cheiron song back in 2000:

We Think It's Love: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Auzej2GCv5I

written by Jorgen Elofsson and Leah Haywood
Title: Re: Selena Gomez - Stars Dance (upcoming album)
Post by: gm33 on June 29, 2011, 03:01:09 PM
Rebecca, I love Leah Haywood!

She also sang backing vocals for Max's "That's the Way It Is" (Celine Dion)

She also has "Takin' Back What's Mine"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECjWrP7C7uM  < ~~~~ another great song by Jorgen Elofsson

I think We Think It's Love was produced by Per and David too :) I miss the year 2000!

Post by: JackSnr on June 30, 2011, 12:06:41 PM
Oh dear  :( Sorry for getting everyone excited for nothing. Guess I should learn not to trust wikipedia!
Hope you all like Hit The Lights though. I'm glad I listened to it even if its not Max  :)
Title: Re: Selena Gomez - Stars Dance (upcoming album)
Post by: Rebecca on June 30, 2011, 12:35:08 PM
that's okay JackSnr, it's always good to investigate all possibilities, just in case there was a Max song!
and Selena's album sounds like it will be really good anyway.


gm33: yes, the year 2000 was a great year! I like Takin' back what's mine too

1st single: Come & Get It (prod. by StarGate) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-D1EB74Ckg
2nd single: Slow Down (prod. by The Cataracs [Like A G6]) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGEf8dXN2sU

both singles are awesome whereas I prefer "Slow Down", which is obviously cribbed from Dr. Luke, Cirkut, Max Martin, Shellback, Ammo and so on ... still amazing! :) I think this is gonna be a great album! What do you think?

Arnthor Birgisson, Jason Evigan, Mich Allan & Toby Gad will be involved! :) (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stars_Dance#Track_listing)
Title: Selena Gomez - Write Your Name
Post by: Out on July 15, 2013, 08:53:00 PM
Arnthor Birgisson has co-written the song "Write Your Name" for new Selena's album and it sounds quite good, as the whole album actually.

BTW, I merged the three existing Selena Gomez thread into this one here.

And in other news:

The album can be streamed at iTunes US.

Post by: melodicmoonlight on July 17, 2013, 06:15:09 AM
this album is not impressive at all to me. most of the songs are like stock pop songs, nothing new or exciting. production is dense and her vocals don't do anything for me. sounds like she's just singing songs the way the engineer told her to sing/pronounce everything. like an actor who sounds like they're just reading from the script when they're acting.

some artists do pull that off; successful pop singers who don't write the material but fit the material so well. also, seeing the list of producers...she couldn't have done any better? no Dr. Luke? it's all cheesy glittery dancey pop or faux urban synthy songs

Post by: j.fco.morales on July 23, 2013, 09:08:44 PM
I liked a couple of songs, but the thing is that her voice don't do justice to the songs. She just can't sing.

Forget Forever would sound really good sung by someone like Demi Lovato, for example. I also liked Write Your Name, I thought is was written by Ina Wroldsen, sounds a lot like this, both produced by Arnthor Birgisson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIKtfcprb_w

I bought Slow Down, Come & Get It, Undercover. Awesome productions unlike the rest of the album.

Post by: Feelgoodlies on July 23, 2013, 10:53:55 PM
"Save the Day" is the best of all the tracks besides "Slow Down". I liked the production. It's a single-worthy track!
Title: Re: Selena Gomez - Stars Dance (upcoming album)
Post by: Out on July 23, 2013, 11:11:16 PM
I agree. "Save the Day" is the best track. I like Livvi Franc's demo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFDRM_k6ebA) more though :)
Title: Re: Selena Gomez - Stars Dance (upcoming album)
Post by: B Steady on July 23, 2013, 11:37:11 PM
how can you like a song with such a horrible chorus ???
Title: Re: Selena Gomez - Stars Dance (upcoming album)
Post by: Raul_esp on July 24, 2013, 02:30:42 AM
''Save the day'' and ''Slow down'' are The highlights of the album.

That demo is alot better, Livvi is great. I don't like the dubstep sounds though.
